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

I think it is water since you have a soapy mess right there. Too much slop with the cleaning. Take a burner off and lay it upside down on another burner and turn it on. Burn out the water or whatever is in it.

But remember, they will be scorching hot when you take it off.
