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

Alright thanks!! I'll check for water plugging them up, but they definitely do this all the time so I think they're not attached quite right or dirty.

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.

Be careful use tongs and gloves . My old sous told me they can crack while doing this too. So jist be safe about it also.

Can confirm, they do have a tendency to crack.
