You are doing it all wrong. Here’s the best way to clean the grease off a hot plate

Choose a cleaning solution that is safe for your hot plate’s material. Spray or pour it directly onto the greasy surface.

4. Let the cleaning agent sit

Allow the solution to penetrate the grease for 5-10 minutes so it can break down the buildup effectively.

5. Scrub with a non-abrasive pad

Use a non-abrasive scrubbing pad to work the cleaning solution into the grease, scrubbing until most of the grease is dissolved.

6. Rinse and wipe down

Use a damp cloth to wipe away the dissolved grease and residue. Follow up with a dry cloth to ensure the surface is completely clean and dry.

7. Inspect and repeat if necessary

Check the surface for any remaining grease. If needed, repeat the previous steps for a thorough clean.

Cleaning your hot plate properly doesn’t have to be a daunting task. With these steps, you can ensure it remains in top condition, ready for your next cooking adventure.
