No matter how much cooking you do, you've got to clean your stove, whether it's every day or (at least) once a week. Luckily, we have three different ways to clean, depending on the type of stove you have: gas, electric, or glass/ceramic. Just be sure that your stove, grates, and burners are completely cool before you start.

To clean an electric stove, you're going to want to actually remove the coils and the drip pans. You'll just need some basic household ingredients such as baking soda, dish liquid, and distilled white vinegar.

Don't forget to clean inside your oven, too. Specifically the racks. Using a tub or shower, this solution is so easy.
