How to Clean Porcelain Range Grates

The oven range in your kitchen needs periodic cleaning, and part of that is washing the grates. If the grates are dirty with buildup, the bottoms of your cookware can become damaged and your food may not cook as evenly. Many stoves have porcelain grates, which are durable but can also be damaged if cleaned improperly.
