You’re Doing Everything Wrong: Here’s the Right Way to Clean Grease Off a Hotplate
Let’s face it — hotplates are grease magnets. Whether it’s from cooking bacon, frying eggs, or just reheating last night’s leftovers, that slick, sticky grime builds up faster than you can say “scrambled.” And chances are, you’ve been cleaning it all wrong.
Paper towels? Smear city. Harsh chemicals? Not necessary (and sometimes even risky). Scraping at burnt-on grease with a knife? Please don’t — you’re just begging for scratches and damage.
But don’t worry — we’ve got the best, easiest way to clean grease off your hotplate, whether it’s cast iron, ceramic, or electric. No damage, no fumes, no elbow-breaking scrubbing. Just a smart, simple method that actually works.
🔥 Why Hotplates Get So Greasy
Hotplates tend to accumulate layers of grease over time because:
- Grease splatters during cooking
- Heat “bakes” it into the surface
- Wiping with just water or soap doesn’t cut through the buildup
And the longer you wait, the harder it gets — unless you know the magic combo…
🧪 The Grease-Fighting Dream Team:
The two ingredients that make all the difference are:
👉 Baking Soda
👉 White Vinegar or Lemon Juice
Together, they form a fizzing, grease-busting reaction that lifts dirt and breaks down oil without damaging the hotplate surface.
🧽 What You’ll Need
- 2–3 tablespoons baking soda
- 1/4 cup white vinegar (or lemon juice for a fresh scent)
- A spray bottle (optional)
- A soft sponge or microfiber cloth
- A toothbrush or soft scrub brush (for stubborn spots)
- Hot water
- Optional: Dish soap (mild)
✅ The Best Way to Clean Grease Off a Hotplate – Step by Step
Step 1: Turn Off & Cool Down
Make sure the hotplate is completely off and cool. Never clean a hot surface — it’s dangerous and can warp your tools or burn your skin.
Step 2: Sprinkle Baking Soda
Generously sprinkle baking soda over the greasy areas. Focus on spots with visible buildup.
