We have cast iron burners (the grates/covers) on our stove and the grease tends to build up. They are NOT coated in enamel. What have you found that successfully cleans the grease and helps prevent build up?
I doubt anything would prevent build up.
When I had a gas stove with those grates on the burners, I just put them in the hot soapy water when I cleaned up the kitchen after dinner.
Put them in the dishwasher
i soak 'em in dawn and hot water every now and then, and then give them a good scrub with a scrubbie. and sometimes i'll put them through the dishwasher.
i don't know anything that prevents them from getting cruddy.

The only thing I've done is routinely run them through the dishwasher. I don't worry about them unless I spill food on them.
You'll need ammonia, a scrubbing pad, zip lock bags big enough to hold the burners (1 per bag) and a dry towel.

I run them through the dishwasher every week.
I use Barkeepers Friend, You can find it by the kitchen cleaners.
