Easy-Off oven cleaner... Spray that crap on there. let it sit. Then take an sos pad to it. I have a stainless steel stove and it works great on it. It doesn't scratch it or anything.
use diluted harpic and clean
Easy off does work , you might have to treat it a few times and let it sit like a 1/2 hour. If you don't have a stainless stove, don't use a SOS pad. It will scratch the finish. I have used a plastic scrubber like a Dobie.
Oil doesn't dry, but I know what you mean. It's all fossilized on there. Well, if you don't want to put up the money for oven cleaner, just use dishsoap and water.
Dishsoap works because soap molecules attach readily to both nonpolar molecules (such as grease or oil) and polar molecules (such as water). Although grease will normally adhere to any surface, the soap molecules can attach to it as a "handle" and make it easier to rinse away.
If you let the soap sit on the grease a few minutes, it'll loosen it up just like a cleaner would.
I always use Hobrite? It works wonders, you squirt it on, leave for a while and then remove with a gentle abrasive cloth/ sponge.
Happy cleaning
TSP
I find that Trisodium Phosphate or TSP works wonders on stove burners and trays. It's a powder that you mix with water to prepare surfaces for painting. Following the directions on the box, mix the TSP powder with water and scrub away layers of grease and burnt-on food. Rinse well, then wash again in hot soapy water. You may have to clean the burners again with a steel wool pad, but it will be much easier after the TSP wash. Use TSP on stove vents hoods too...makes them look like new!
Simple Green Full strength is the best way to clean a stove top. Just let it sit for 10-15 minutes and wipe up with a sponge
Burners can be cleaned by placing burners in a large pot cover with water add baking soda bring water to a boil and then simmer until all grease and grim comes off easily

Good Luck!
