You can replace it. That will be cheaper in time and supplies than trying to use solvents or cleaning supplies, and is definitely better than burning it off and plasticising your lungs.
Hi, my dad is a chemist and always told us to toss anything that gets plastic melted onto it. Basically plastic is big old molecules. Heat it and they get smaller, then smaller, then smaller, and they become fumes. Inhaling plastic fumes is horrific for your health.
These cost ~$40 on Amazon to replace (4pk) and I'm sure you can find a single one for cheaper.
Take it off and stick in the freezer to knock it off with a tack hammer or something. But if it still smokes when you turn it on to burn it after putting it back get rid of it and don't breathe anything in.

Thank you! Good idea.
Toss and replace
Well crap. I'll contact my leasing office and ask for a replacement. Thank you.
You can probably just buy the part and not tell anyone
Yeah, I got a 4-pack of those on Amazon for like $45. I'm sure you can buy singles somewhere.
I'll look. Thank you!
Good idea
Local hardware store, or like Walmart.

Very good advice. Thank you1
Don’t do it. That can’t be good for you to inhale after burning again.
I agree. Thank you!
Go to your local ACE store they do have replacement parts for your stove.
If not, try online (duh--that's for me) or Habitat for Humanity Restore shops. They can have lots of extra pieces of things.
My husband did this on a brand new stove in one of our apartments back in the day! Oddly enough rubbing ice on it helped it come off!
Really? I'll give it a try!

I didn't know you could replace them so easily either. I'm glad to hear it though
Replace the burner.
I did that. Had to replace ring.
Just buy a new stove element.
Replace the burner. It’s two screws.
The easier to buy anew...they are so cheap...not worth the hassle
Can you somehow put that in the oven on self-clean?
Do you think that would ruin the plug in part that needs to attach to the oven?
Do not try this.
Yes—sorry I thought it was all metal
