1. Prevent Boil-overs

When cooking, use pots and pans that are deep enough to prevent boil-overs and splattering. Minimizing spillage will reduce cleanup work and help prolong the life of your stove.

2. Clean Spills Quickly

Cooking spills are inevitable. The good news is you can whisk away virtually any spill with a damp sponge or paper towel if you get it while it’s still warm. So get in the habit of wiping down your stovetop after every use—your stove will gleam like new for decades, and you’ll save yourself plenty of scrubbing.

3. Use Elbow Grease, Not Abrasives
