How to Restore Silver Burners on Your Stove Top Without Harsh Pads
It doesn't take much to sully a stove top burner. If you've ever boiled a pot of potatoes to the point in which it overflowed, you likely saw the leftover residue starting to solidify on your burner. Over time, the residue starts to blacken, and all traces of the shiny silver coat are gone. With the right tools--and without the use of heavy scrubbing or harsh pads--it takes less energy to clean your stove burners than it does to dirty them.
How to Make Silver Burners Shiny
The easiest way to restore your silver burners and make them shine again is with a product called Cameo. Designed for aluminum and stainless steel, this cleaning product works wonders on silver stove burners. It also works on oven doors, pots, roasters, stainless steel sinks and chrome surfaces; however it isn't meant for use on polished or mirror-finished metals. It also lasts forever. A 10 ounce bottle will easily last years. Ingredients include sulfamic acid, sodium silicofluoride, corn starch and anionic surfactant. Find Cameo at your local grocery store or online.
To clean your stove top burners and restore their shine, first wash them to remove crumbs and any other loose particles. Then set them in your sink. While they are still wet, sprinkle Cameo over each burner to create a paste. Be sure to cover the entire affected area on your burner. If a paste doesn't form, you will need to add a little water. Cameo works immediately, however, feel free to let the paste sit for a few minutes. Then, using a damp rag, gently scrub your silver stove top burners and rinse to make them shine again.
It may be necessary to clean again, if your paste didn't entirely cover the area. Then use Cameo to restore the shine on your oven racks and stainless steel pots to further revamp your kitchen.

Post a CommentOMG - I am ALWAYS trying to clean these. Thanks, will try.
I use burner covers. Of course, it's not pretty when I turn the burners on without removing them...
This happened to me about 5 years ago and I did something that worked brilliantly; I just can't remember what I did. I guess it's Cameo from here on out. :)
I purchased a ss stove last year..and the burner areas are turning...this is driving my wife up a wall. The product we have does absolutely nada. Cameo is the first order of the day. Thank you..I see my wife's joy now ;-)
Thanks for this info! I'm going to see if I can find some Cameo. My stove is 13 years old and the burners aren't looking too great in spite of my best efforts. It's stainless steel and the burners don't come off, so I hope I can clean them where they are.
Excellent advice!
Good stuff!
I like Cameo too. THanks for the tips!
