How to do the envelope technique
Putting the plastic bag technique into practice is very simple. If you find yourself with the stove full of food splatters, fried foods, or other foods that you have cooked, with this method you will solve the problem and you can have a splendid cooktop in no time. The first thing you need to do before proceeding is to check if the stove or grills are hot. If there are no problems, here’s what you should do:
- Remove the grates from the stove ;
- Remove burners by removing top and bottom;
- Place paper towels on a ball inside the burners;
- Spray the pre-prepared degreasing mixture on the countertop;
- Open the ends of a few plastic bags and cover the entire stove;
- Leave everything on for about ten minutes.
Enclosure technology for pans and grills
Meanwhile, take a plastic bag and place it inside the stove grates. Place the stove with the burners in another bag and spray the degreaser you prepared earlier inside the bags.
Leave it on for about ten minutes, then remove the grills, roll them through a kitchen sponge with a green part and rinse under running water, preferably warm. Wipe the pans and burners with the sponge as well, taking care to remove any scale with the green part and rinse under running water.
The stove and burners will be very clean and bright, like never before. Once this phase is finished, it is time to remove the bags from the fire. Take a soft microfiber cloth and remove all the degreaser from the different points of the plate, also removing incrustations and dirt.
Rinse the cloth and wipe it again until the hob is completely clean and free of dirt and incrustation. At this point, dry it thoroughly and you’ll be done cleaning everything, achieving exceptional results with just a little. As you can see, with the bag method, you don’t need to spend hours degreasing the cooktop, stove, and grills
