How to clean a stubborn stovetop

After a massive cooking session last Saturday (French Onion Soup, Chicken Cordon Bleu, Roast Potatoes...the list goes on), my stovetop was looking a little worse for wear. What a great opportunity to show you my eco-friendly tip for cleaning my gas stove!


(my apologizes for showing you this photo, but it was necessary, I swear)

This is a remedy that has been passed down 3 generations in my family. All you need to do is put some baking soda in a little bowl. I like to use the container that I have in my fridge to absorb odors, because I'm not going to be using it for cooking anyways.



Add in a little bit of water and mix it with a fork to make a slightly watery paste.



Take off the burners and pour the baking soda paste all over the stovetop. Let the mixture soak in for a few minutes.



Take a rag, or even a piece of papertowel and scrub the whole stovetop down with the mixture. Wipe all the baking soda mixture away and you're good to go!



Just look how it sparkles!



Oops, and remember put back on the burners!
