If you have an older electric stove top, you probably have the coil burners. I find that the baked-on mess can be quite difficult to remove, until I stumbled on this little trick. Remove the coils (make sure that they are cool first!) and place them in a pan filled with warm water. Drop a few effervescent denture cleaning tablets into the water and let them go to town on the coils. After the tabs stop bubbling, remove the coils and the baked-on mess will come off with a simple sponge and water. Do not replace the coils until they completely dry! Effervescent denture tabs can be used to clean many different things. Try it yourself and let us know any fun cleaning uses that you have found for them.
