Step 4

Allow to sit for three to five minutes.

Step 5

Use a damp scrub sponge to work the paste into the burned-on areas.

Don't over saturate the scrub sponge with water. Just dampen it and wring it out well before using so the paste can do its work without getting too watered down.

Step 6

Wipe the stove top off with a microfiber cloth.

There is no need to rinse the stove top off. Simply wipe away the paste and debris using a clean microfiber cloth. Any burned-on bits or food that has been left behind will lift as you wipe down the stove top. If there are spots left, repeat steps two through four.
