Dirty, greasy spots all over the stove are not a necessary consequence of frying. An expert from the Zen channel “Our Cozy Home” offered 4 life hacks that will make your stove always clean and snow-white—you won’t have to waste time on washing it anymore.
Lifehack #1: Oil splash screen
This is a protective screen that protects against hot splashes, but still allows steam to pass through. Unlike a regular lid, the fine mesh does not create a stewing effect, which makes fried food crispy. It is easy to clean both under running water and in the dishwasher – and it is also resistant to corrosion.
Lifehack #2: Drying ingredients
Before adding potatoes, meat or fish to the pan, dry them with a napkin or paper towel. Without this, moisture will get onto the heated oil, which will cause numerous “explosions.”
Life hack No. 3: Choosing the right dishes
Choose dishes with high walls – this way there will be much less splashing. A high-sided frying pan, wok or saucepan is a great option for those who like to cook carefully.
Lifehack #4: Optimal oil temperature
The oil must be perfectly heated. If it is overheated, then especially powerful splashes await you, and if it does not have time to heat up, then the ingredients will absorb a lot of fat.
And one more tip: wipe the stove after each use, even if it still looks clean.
