Background: I often shallow-fry my food with high heat and a fair amount of oil. This means oil gets all over the stove and neighbouring walls. A good thing that I do (and worth sharing with everyone) is that I cover these walls with cling film. Remove and replace: really easy.

Is there anything similar that I can do which can do a similar job for my gas stove including the metal grills/frames?

(I'm not looking for answers like use less oil or use a lid on my pans, I do this sometimes, and it doesn't compliment the style of cooking at other times).

Thanks!

Some people use aluminium foil to cover the gas stove. This way, you can remove it every 7-15 days and you won't have to clean that much. It might be a bit tricky to put the foil the first times, but it gets easier with time and practice

  • This sounds good. I'm going to give it a try, though yes it sounds tricky to implement!

  • I just moved to a house with gas stove recently, and have to do it myself, I guess I will just cover everything, and then make holes for the burners

  • Make sure it is safe to put on your stove if it is electric stove. People have got electric shock after putting them.

Not really a hack but effective. A splatter guard does not prevent shallow-fry of food with high heat and a fair amount of oil. Water moiture can still escape and most of the fat splatters are caught.

  • I've heard about these, seem fairly decent however I don't think it would be that useful for food where I may need to attend to it fairly often! I'd also have to clean this every time I use it so I reckon I don't really save that much cleaning in the end. Thanks for the suggestion!

  • Cleaning a screen in the sink is as much work as clean a stove?

  • Yes, though cleaning a screen in a sink 7+ times per week rather than cleaning a stove once per week.
