In reply to Lindsey. What type of sponge/cloth are you using, Lindsey? I've found that the sponges with the rough scrubbing side {like these ones} work a whole lot better than dishcloths, paper towels, or just plain sponges when it comes to dealing with burnt on food. Just be careful!! Make sure it doesn't scratch your stove top. Mine is a pained white surface so it doesn't scratch too easily. I imagine some stove tops would need a more gentle cleaning pad.

I’ve tried EVERYTHING to get my stove top clean! I’ve tried using dawn, degreaser, stain remover EVERYTHING (no joke). I cannot get my stove top clean, it’s full of caked up mess and I’m at a loss here.

Any ideas?

In reply to Melisa Thompson. That IS a great tip! I've always wanted to try bacon in the oven but never knew how long to keep it in there and at what temp. Will definitely be using your instructions the next time there's a good sale on bacon!

I suppose my tip, in someway, is a cleaning tip because after you try it you will never have to clean bacon splatters ever again. And, you will cook bacon more often…happy husband. Line a baking pan with foil, being sure to roll off a bit more than the size of the pan and roll it up on all four sides to contain the excess fat. This will prevent it leaking out into your oven. Cover the pan with your bacon placed side by side. Set the oven temp somewhere between 375 – 425 and place the bacon in the oven while cold. The bacon will be fully cooked in 20-35 minutes depending on whether or not your oven is convection. It is not necessary to turn the bacon at the halfway point, though sometimes I do to speed the process. Walla!! Delicious bacon, you didn’t have to stand over it, and no splatters!! Easy clean-up. Toss that foil in the garbage. Perhaps not the “greenest” method, but certainly the easiest. 🙂

Ick, mold makes me cringe. Dawn to the rescue yet again! 🙂

I’ve been using Dawn to clean most everything since I discovered how good it is. One of the hardest areas is the hood over my stove when it builds up. I also like how it cleans off mold and mildew outside on my plastic lawn chairs.

Worst spot to clean is under the stove hood. It always gets greasy and I used to use baking soda and vinegar but I’m switching to Dawn!

In reply to Amanda.

I have a tough time with the floor too – it collects crumbs and dirt constantly, no matter how hard I try to be careful! And hating to clean doesn’t make you a horrible housekeeper — it just means you would much rather be doing something else! 🙂
