Question Why are the burners acting like this?

I asked my kitchen manager and he said it wasn't anything to worry about. But sometimes they take way longer and it smells like gas. Also really annoying when you're trying to saute during the rush lol. Ignore the soap also btw I was in the middle of cleaning

Yeah these comments made me realize I've been doing it wrong :[ I wasn't really given instructions outside of "scrub with steel wool and pot and pan detergent for five minutes and changing out the foil at the bottom once a week ish đŸ˜­Lesson learned

flip the back burners and the grates onto the front, and blast them for 45 minutes. let them cool for 15, send them to dish, repeat for the front grates/burners.
