I clean my stovetop with oven cleaner. Spray it on and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then wipe off. It melts all the greasy dried on cooking messes with minimal effort. I have found that the cheaper dollar store brands (like Family Dollar brand) of oven cleaner work even better than brand name Easy-Off.
For years, I've battled caramelization on my stove-top after frying food. One day while the stove-top was still warm, I sprinkled baking soda on the sticky, gummy mess. I gave it a few rubs with the dishrag and it came off without any elbow grease on my part. I was amazed.
I always keep baking soda in the cabinet above my stove now. It's quick, clean, and it doesn't scratch the enamel surface. I've also used it to clean my sink.
Once you try the above variations, be sure to come back and give a "thumbs up" to the one that worked the best for you. Do you have a better variation? Click here to share it!
