How to Unclog Stove Nozzles and Make the Flame Stronger

Why It Happens

Over time, gas stove nozzles (burner ports) can get clogged with:

Food debris

Grease or oil

Mineral buildup from water

A clogged nozzle leads to weak, uneven flames, inefficient cooking, and sometimes a yellow, sooty flame instead of a strong blue one.

What You’ll Need

Toothpicks or a thin wire (like a straightened paperclip)

Warm soapy water

White vinegar (optional, for stubborn residue)

Soft brush or old toothbrush

A clean cloth
