How to Clean Baked-On Grease Off an Enamel Stove Top

Stove tops coated with enamel provide a protective surface to keep the appliance attractive. Enamel stove tops require careful cleaning because the surface scratches easily. Liquids and foods typically wipe off the enamel surface with ease, but baked-on grease usually requires more effort. When you do not wipe up spills immediately, the heat on the stove top causes the grease to become thick and hard. Treat the baked-on grease quickly to keep the stove-top surface in good shape.
