Hey, Mom

After years of wanting a gas stove instead of an electric, I finally got one. I love cooking on it, though I still need practice regulating the heat. I found that my stove presents another challenge–keeping it clean. With my old ceramic top electric, cleaning was relatively simply. But there is more to maintaining a pristine appearance with the new one. My stove has porcelain grates, which get a bit dirty of course, but I have found the perfect tool for keeping them clean–without a lot of elbow grease. A Magic Eraser works wonders. Dunk one in a bit of warm, soapy water and the grease spots and “baked” on grime will come off easily.
