How to avoid hob getting dirty?
 
Hi All

I was wondering what are the practical ways of preventing a gas hob
surface getting dirty. I did try covering it up with tin foil paper
but cleaning that does become a bit of a hassle as the tin foil paper
got stuck to the hob surface and I had to scrub it clean. Is there any
other special paper that can be used to cover the hob surface? Are
there any other practical ways to cover the hob surface? Are there any
glass surfaces that can be used as a hob cover / cooking surface to
avoid the hob surface getting dirty?

Many thanks for any suggestions

Regards
shahab

Short of turning off the gas to your hob and shrink-wrapping it with
plastic, I can't think of a way to do it. Accept the fact that cooking
involves getting things dirty and cleaning up after yourself.

Cleaning my stove top is the *one* household chore that I truly TRULY
loathe. I am real anal about keeping it clean so it requires *constant*
attention....

Baloney... there is no reason anything needs to jump out of the pot... you're
just a filthy slob.

>Cleaning my stove top is the *one* household chore that I truly TRULY

There is absolutely no reason one needs to be a slob in the kitchen... those
with poor kitchen hygiene also practice poor hygiene in all (and I mean ALL)
aspects of their lives... anyone who complains about their filthy stove I can
imagine how yoose keep your automobile, insides look (and stinks) like a
landfill operation.

If one chooses the proper cookware for the task, employs correct cooking
techniques, and utilizes a modecum of common sense then there is no reason a
stovetop needs to be power washed after each use. I mean if your pot tends to
boil over and/or spatters at a particular heat setting how many brain cells are
required to think about choosing a larger pot and/or lowering the heat. Duh

I keep my stove pretty pristine there Sheldon...and I can assure you my
hygiene practices are most excellent. At least I'm not some yenta who brags
on herself about the fact that her stove is 10 years old and she has never
once used it ;--)
