Methods for Cleaning the Cooking Plate on a Tiled Stove: Seeking Advice

Hello, I could not find anywhere exactly what I am looking for, so I am writing a new post. I have a tiled stove on which I cook, and as in the topic - how to clean this plate? Or rather, with what. I have read and watched various videos where tile grout, etc. were cleaned, but I care about cleaning this plate. Thank you in advance for any advice.

In some parts of the country, a tiled stove is a stove in a room for its heating and it is impossible to cook anything on it, because it is sometimes high, for example, about 2m. For cooking is a tiled stove with a pytha in the form of one or more metal sheets placed over the hearth. And I think that's the point in this case.
What to clean? Probably the simplest is a wire brush( can be on a drill, or grinder), it can be paper/abrasive cloth(by hand, or mechanically).

Traditional cast iron plate? Brass wire brush.

And the whole kitchen dirty. A traditional hand-held wire brush costs about £38. There can also be a wire scourer known as a wire brush.

Better and cleaner to scrape with a spatula

This is already with very heavy soiling (thick carbon build-up). With a light one, the spatula will slip more than pick up dirt and grease.

And who says you have to do it indoors? You can take it outside and it's a hassle.

I don't really understand what on this countertop could be cleaning with a spatula. Is there so much on the gas cooker in the average (normal) house that you have to scrape with a spatula. Many years ago, I had a charcoal stove with a cast iron, then steel, stove top and, apart from the occasional spillage because a pot was not moved to the edge of the stove in time, there was no extraordinary need for a wire brush. Simply washing it off with water using a rag and that was it.

Roughly with a spatula or wire brush. Then caustic soda.

In that case, I'll ask what could be on this countertop since you recommend

When it gets busy there is something to scrape. I don't have anything to brag about, but I cleaned the overlay (grate) of the gas stove with a knife several times.

What do I recommend, cleaning with a spatula ?, I think someone else.

Surely. The grate, I can understand, but not the whole hob, unless you wash the cooker once around Easter.

Not nice mate, I quoted you what you recommend and you truncated my post and pretend to be Greek .

I don't know what could be on this countertop, you have to ask the founder of the topic. Now LEFT ?

Have it sanded and then sanded to a glossy shine then the dirt won't stick so much.

Maybe you are referring to a coal cooker and not a tiled cooker (the cooker is at least 1.5m high and how to cook on it), as these are two different things.
To the previous speakers "thank you" for the advice with brass brushes, sandblasting etc. etc. regarding the cleaning of the TILER stove.
If you are concerned with a so-called coal stove, then scrape the tiles on it with a spatula or something similar, wire brush or sandblasting. You can also light a fire, throw in these cast iron plates and the grease and other gunk will burn off (proven method).

It's not about cleaning the tiled stove, it's about cleaning the plate of this stove itself, that is, the metal sheet.

Boy!!! Have you seen a tiled stove? (I've been dealing with them myself for over 30 years), and have you seen a coal stove???. Where have you seen cast iron plates in a tiled stove?! I guess the door which is made of cast iron and the grate of the stove and the rest of the housing is chamotte brick and ceramic tiles. On the stove or tiled stove you do not cook / bake, but it is only used for heating. The so-called coal stove is used for cooking and baking.

P.S.
Let the best author of the topic clarify whether he means kitchen or stove.

Yes I saw it, here's an example, and stop whining already.

Dyletant complete Can you read the topic title with understanding? "Cleaning the slab on a tiled stove" The slab and not the tiles and grout. On a tiled kitchen and not on a tiled stove.

I guess it's just for you. Other forumers understood without clarification, although the author is not consistent because in the title he writes about the kitchen and the text about the stove but about the stove on which you cook

Vwuac wrote:

I have a tiled stove on which you cook

so the description is unambiguous.
A tiled stove is a special case of a stove that heats the kitchen area and on which food can be cooked.

I grew up in a house where there was such a kitchen (since there is gas the kitchen has disappeared). The only garbage there was then was glass and metals, the rest went up in smoke.

Someone earlier wrote to give it to sandblasting, maybe the pipes themselves are yes, but after all, this plate is well anchored to the stove and you will not take it out just like that. I know what I write because I witnessed at my place how they dismantled this contraption. I do not know what is going on here, but as I remember this plate was always clean. After all, even when a drop of something dripped, it was immediately a hiss and gray smoke and smell all over the kitchen.
But there were times, oh my.

Respect to the housekeeper, but as I remember the kitchen stove at my grandparents' house it was always before Christmas to clean the hob and there was always something scraped out, even though my grandmother took care of the cleanliness on a regular basis.
The stove was surrounded by a railing of brass pipes and these were cleaned with Sidol, which in this case meant a suspension of chalk in ammonia water.

I don't know if coal stoves were identically built in every region of the country, but I've encountered ones in which the frame was fixed permanently with the tiles, and the plate, whether cast iron (sometimes with a hole closed with the pipes, and sometimes without a hole), but I've also encountered steel ones, were removable.

And here I concede the point.
But curiously the author of the topic is silent.

At my grandparents' house there were two plates laid on the frame. One with pipes over the hearth and the other over the oven. They were removed without any problem.

I see, That a colleague stanislaw1954 also encountered kitchens "like my grandfather's" At my grandparents' house, the slabs were cast iron.

And with what that he could be dirty ? A little soot from the bottom of the pots was with a wet sponge at the daily "vetting" removed. The first ones (the hottest) were always super clean, there the temperature removed everything. There were four positions for the gars. The first two gray (contact with direct fire from underneath), the third blackish gray and the fourth black (the coldest). After all, only the gars stood on this tin, and for a very short time. More than once something sprouted it was removed on the fly. I remember how my mother scraped it with a knife, the rest was taken care of by the temperature.

I still remember this. When some pipes got stained it was enough to turn them 180 degrees and there is no force on the fire. The same with other posts. It was enough that the 4th (coldest) was too black then the pipes went to the 1st and were already gray. Despite appearances, this kitchen was hardly self-cleaning. If you hoovered well the single would go red, and if you threw butter paper on the hearth there was a furor like in a jet engine.

I met and still happen to see "working" and even installed "horseshoes" in them.
A horseshoe, for the less initiated, is a metal insert from pipes in the kitchen hearth. The water heated there flows to the boiler, where it heats the domestic water.

Add - there is an expansion vessel installed above the kitchen and the kitchen loses a bit of cug (I suspect the young ones do not know what cug is). At my mother-in-law's house there is still such a kitchen with a horseshoe.

Ot sclerosis I remembered my grandparents' stove and forgot mine, my parents' to be exact. We had a stove with a horseshoe (in our country called ciegielka), it was not pipes but a welded structure of thick rectangular metal sheets.

Aleksander_01 wrote:

The expansion vessel in our house was an "open" boiler, the overflow pipe led to the sink. The water heated the radiators, there was no heat exchanger to heat the domestic water.

Ot sclerosis. Well the expansion vessel was needed for the radiators. CWU was a large pot on the kitchen. One more thing - until the 80th there was no running water at my place, we had to carry buckets from the well something like 80 meters. It's a good thing my hands didn't grow like a baboon's, because I would have grated on the ground with my claws. The worst was the laundry, an endless story.

I still remember the voltage reductions in the network. It was hard to watch the TV log because the voltage dropped below 190 volts. Tube TV would stop going.

Aleksander_01 wrote:

CWU was a large pot on the kitchen.

But offtopic developed Under me, the source of CWU but only for body washing and bathing, was a vertical copper boiler standing on a cast iron hearth in the bathroom. For washing plates and pots the water was heated as in your case.

It is YOU bourgeois, u tiebia copper boiler. Where did you get a copper boiler, after all, it was a strategic material during the commune (you know how many shells can be produced, and you made yourself a boiler).
It's nice to reminisce.

Aleksander_01 wrote:

The boiler was still pre-war, it lasted until perhaps 1975, then it was galvanized steel and in 1980 we were connected to the CHP plant.

Today I dealt with this topic personally. I know from experience that if it can be taken off (as in my case), then a grinder with a wire brush (preferably soft) and WD-40. I do not know if this is how it should be done, but it works.
Most people will be satisfied with the result obtained, but I'm going to go over it tomorrow with glossy paper.
