Why You Really Shouldn't Clean Your Stove Until It Cools Down

If you are a clean-as-you-go type of cook, or you simply cannot handle mess in the kitchen, you may be in the habit of wiping up spills on your stove as soon as they happen. While that may seem like the best move to prevent food from drying (and therefore harder to get off later), it’s actually not great for you or your cooktop.

Here’s why you should wait until the surface has cooled before cleaning—and how to go about it.

Why wait until the stove cools?

Trying to clean on or around burners that are on or still hot obviously puts you at risk of burning yourself or catching a rag, sponge, or paper towel on fire. Plus, cleaning solutions sprayed on hot surfaces may vaporize, which isn’t great for your lungs and honestly may not get the job done as well.

Cleaning products can damage the finish on glass stovetops if burned, leaving permanent marks, and synthetic rag fibers may melt onto the surface. There’s also a higher risk of cracking the glass while it’s hot.

What you should do instead

Burners should obviously be off before you try to clean around them to reduce the risk of flames or burns. Then, wait at least a few minutes until the burner and surface around it is no longer hot to the touch.

For induction stoves and electric glass cooktops, wait until the temperature sensor or hot surface light turns off before cleaning.

Of course, exceptions may be made for major spills. If something boils over or a significant amount of food is spreading across your stove, remove the pot or pan to a safe surface, turn off the burner, and use a cloth (less polyester is better) with warm water to clean up what you can.

An Existentialist Guide to Feeling Nothing

Image
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

What Are SQL Stored Procedures and How Do You Create Them?

Image
Stored procedures: like functions for your SQL. A stored procedure is a batch of SQL statements created and stored on a database. You can reuse a stored procedure over and over again. A stored procedure can accept parameters, run a query, and return results. Many users can call a stored procedure and different applications can call it with different parameter values. What Are the Benefits of Using Stored Procedures? Apart from allowing multiple users and applications to reuse it, a stored procedure has other benefits. It is easy to modify. You can change a stored procedure when necessary and these updates will be reflected for all users. Furthermore, you don’t need to redeploy your application when you modify the stored procedure. It reduces network traffic because the server only passes the procedure’s name over the network and not the entire query. It improves database security since users don’t have direct access to tables. To make...
