๐Ÿ“‹ Key facts

Key
Dissolve with alkali (baking soda, detergent), then wipe
Works best
Warm water + dish soap + 10 minutes of soaking
Never
Steel wool on a non-stick pan
Prevention
One wipe right after cooking is the cheapest fix

Grease has to be dissolved

Hardened grease will not come off with water alone. An alkali has to break it down, and dish soap or baking soda does that. Ten minutes in warm soapy water removes most of it with almost no effort. Soaking time matters more than scrubbing time.

Different surfaces, different methods

Stainless steel: spread a baking-soda paste, wait, then wipe with a soft sponge. Non-stick pans: steel wool and abrasives strip the coating, so use soap and a sponge only. Glass lids and range-hood filters are easiest soaked whole in hot soapy water.

  • Non-stick: soap and a sponge only
  • Hood filter: 30 minutes in hot soapy water

Around the hob and on walls

Splatter around the hob wipes off with a single wet wipe while it is still warm. Once cooled and set, spray detergent, wait a few minutes, then wipe. For old grease on wall tiles, press a paper towel soaked in soapy water against it โ€” it stays put instead of running down.

Safely

Baking soda and vinegar together mostly fizz and neutralise each other, reducing the effect โ€” use them separately. Bleach does little against grease and can release harmful gas when mixed with other cleaners, so keep it away from kitchen grease.
