Here we explain how to clean the nozzles on your hob: with this method, the flame on your stove will be as intense as before.
A little gas from the stove
After many years of use, it is normal to notice a change in the intensity of the flame of gas burners. In fact, a process of clogging of the nozzles begins, making it difficult for the flame to come out. This is a very annoying problem that can compromise the performance of what we cook and eat . Some foods require cooking at high heat, such as certain types of meat. Without intense heat, the result cannot be absolutely satisfactory.
In this article we show you a method to free the nozzles from any blockage in a simple and independent way. Let’s see together how to proceed with this operation.

Weak Flame: How and Why It Happens
Over the years, this problem can affect even the newest stoves. After so many years and so many meals cooked on our stoves, it is inevitable that this will happen. The holes in the burner crowns become clogged by various grease residues, dirt and all kinds of liquids that can escape from the pans during cooking. The result is an irregular shape and a mostly weak flame that can be more vigorous in some places and slower in others.
A perfectly functioning stove should have a quiet and stable flame, which does not produce any smoke and has a blue color at the base. On the contrary, when it causes problems it emits strange noises, changes intensity from one moment to the next, emits smoke and the flame is red and flickers. If all these characteristics occur in your stove, it is time to take action and carefully clean the burner crowns by unclogging them. Here is how you can easily do it.
Eliminate the nozzle problem by following this method.
To permanently solve the problem and no longer have any worries, you can directly replace all the nozzles . However, this requires a considerable financial investment. If you prefer to keep the stove and clean the burners, here is what you should do. The first step is to temporarily remove all the removable parts of the hob , i.e. the grills, flame diffusers and burners. Then you should open the gas knobs to allow the remaining gas to completely escape from the pipes . Finally, you should make sure that all the nozzles are cold: otherwise, it will be more difficult to unscrew the nozzles and you risk burning yourself.

Next, thoroughly clean the hob with a vacuum cleaner to remove any residue and, using a reamer, carefully disinfect the burner. After carrying out this first operation, use the vacuum cleaner again to completely remove the flaking material. This cleaning must be carried out on each burner on the hob before reassembling everything as before.
To clean the nozzles carefully, it is necessary to disassemble them, unscrew them with a wrench, turning it anti-clockwise. The removed nozzle must be carefully cleaned using sponges and specific detergents, leaving them to act for a few hours. After this time, the detergent will be able to remove food remains and grease. Once rinsed and dried completely, it can be reassembled. All that remains is to test the intensity of the flame: it will be strong and vigorous again.
