Stained gas hob burner ring

[DIYspanner]

Has anyone got the magic formula for cleaning off such stains?

I've tried bleach ans also a mix of bicarbsoda/white vinegar. Left it to soak in a bowl for 24 hours has not dissolved the stain.

Oven cleaner? Anything abrasive will scratch and a cause further staining even quicker .

Fine sandpaper or wet and dry emery.

Wire wool.

I would try car paint cutting/restoration compound and plenty of elbow grease.

The solution!

I got a Kilrock oven cleaner spray, emptied the contents into a bowl and let each burner ring sit in the fluid for a few hours.
That resulted in the rings being turned black which I then scrubbed off with a toothbrush to leave clean metal albeit slightly darker.

I've now painted the burner rings with aerosol exhaust high temp matt paint. I masked the gas flutes and sprayed the rings.

They're look splendid!
