I'm wondering if it is safe to dip these things in water and scrub away.

I don't want to mess them up and wind up buying new ones. :D

Anitfreeze works the best.

They're self cleaning.

I've got black stinky smoke coming off these bad boys almost everytime I cook now. It is really annoying. :D

Turn them on to the highest temperature setting and then spray them with water.

Let them soak in hot water with a little dish soap. Scrub with sos pad or something similar and let them dry completely before plugging them back in. Good to go.

You should be able to slide them out of bracket that they snap into. Wash with any good cleaner. Be careful if its an older model. The ceramic plates that hold the ends of the burns may become very brittle. I would suggest opening the breaker on it while working on it Bob Vila.

Remember to turn them on before taking them out. It keeps the circuit open.

You got that backwards. You don't want to burn yourself if they are on. Wash them and turn it on then plug it back in, it helps it dry better.

Make sure you're standing in a bucket of water while you're doing that.

What fun would ChiefsPlanet be if we didn't try to get someone injured or killed?

I put mine in the dishwasher once a week and have had no problems in 10 years.

Get a new oven with a flat ceramic cooktop.
