It’ll remove rust, tarnish, stains, and mineral deposits from stainless steel, porcelain, ceramic, copper alloys, fiberglass, Corian, brass, bronze, chrome, and aluminum.
Promising review: “I bought this after seeing numerous recommendations, and after years of searing and occasionally burning things in my stainless pans, it was time to try to bring them to a better state. Not only did this easily scrub off the latest culinary leavings, it scrubbed off the years of buildup of oil, fat, cooking spray and whatever else that have been continually baked on in the oven, stove and dishwasher. A little powder, a dash of water, a quick, light scrub, and…it’s gone? How is that possible? What’s in this stuff? I do not know, I do not care. After scrubbing my enamel stovetop in a fraction of the time with no scratches and better results, I became thoroughly convinced the contents of BKF is not of this realm. It’s magic.” —Bulb

This stuff is THE TRUTH. My roommate is the best, but let’s just say wiping down the stove after cooking is not one of her favorite activities. I’m not particular fond of doing the dishes, so I guess we’re even. Anyways, I spray this on a few times a week, let it sit for about five minutes, then wipe with a cloth and it removes EVERYTHING. Like, every little spot of caked-on grease and burnt crumbs come off with just one wipe.

Promising review: “Finally tackled the rings on our stove top with this scrub and a reusable paper towel (as I was worried about using a scourer on an easily scratched surface) and the rings came right off! These are those ‘oh, crap, the pot boiled over’ rings that I ignored that lead to my stove top looking a bit crusty. The oven scrub ate them right off and left my oven and stove top looking great.” —Jessie Bono

Promising review: “My snowbird grandparents have been sending me to check on their summer home occasionally while they quarantine in Florida, so I’ve had the fun job of shoveling snow off their deck and finagling a million envelopes out of their overstuffed mailbox over the past few months. On my most recent visit I decided to stay for a few days, and was intent on cooking myself a lavish meal. Well, I’ve never really used an electric stove before and, I don’t know WHAT I did, but there were giant streaks and marks all over it after I was done. I tried everything to get them off, and I am definitely NOT overreacting! I finally mustered up the courage to tell my grandparents I ruined their stove, only for them to break out in laughter. Grandma instructed me to use get this cleaner below the sink and, well, the rest is history. It literally wiped the streaks away before my eyes. Magic.” —Griffin Gonzales

The kit comes with a bottle of cleaner, a cleaning pad and a heavy-duty scraper that are all designed to break down burnt-on foods and tough stains.
Promising review: “As soon as I used this stuff, I couldn’t believe it! We had a new stove that I didn’t clean for months and assumed the burnt pea juice (my enemy) would just be a new stain forever. However, after one application, it was basically gone. I used the scraper that came with it and did one more small application on just that spot, and it was gone! Every time I use this it looks like my stove could be brand-new.” —Christi
A set of washable liners that’ll catch the lasagna that’s bubbling over before it has a chance to reach the bottom and basically become a permanent part of your oven forever.
Promising review: “I ordered these on a whim, after cleaning my self-cleaning over and seeing how some things just won’t come off the interior enamel. They fit perfectly, have no discernible odor, and wash easily. I recently had the ultimate test….baked beans that boiled over. After the oven cooled, I pulled the liner out, stuck it in the sink, and all of the dried stuff came off without scrubbing!” —Vicky

I make a lot of pizzas that end up with cheese dripping onto the bottom of the oven, and then I have to listen to my wife complain that her oven is dirty and the house smells like burnt sausage. Since I bought a 10-pack of these they fit well and have done a great job of saving me from cleaning the oven.” —BriGuy
A pack of foil liners for your gas stovetop to catch all of the grease and oil splatters that basically do a full acrobatic routine in the air and land right underneath your burner.
Promising review: “One day I will be the happy owner of a flat surface oven/stove top! But until then, these are the best at keeping your stovetop free from food and grease spills and caked-on messes. They’re cheap, so clean up is a breeze. When it’s dirty, just remove it, throw it away, and replace it with a new one. It makes cleaning the stove top so easy!” —Melanin Monroe
Or these similar liners for electric ranges that are perfectly sized to fit right underneath the burner, so you can wave goodbye to scrubbing that pasta sauce that accidentally spilled over.
Promising review: “These are great covers to protect your drip pans from spills. I like that they’re small enough to fit underneath the heating component but don’t cover the outer ring of the drip pan that is most visible on the stove. Since the outer part is easily accessible to wipe down immediately after a spill these covers allow you to protect the inner part without sacrificing the appearance of a clean shiny drip pan on your stove. Considering the fact that this set came with 25 of each size, I would consider this a very good deal.” —chem grad student

Promising review: “My family has been trying to eat healthier, (for us that means keto). So we’re indulging in steak more often, these days. And while steaks are pretty straightforward to cook, by the time they’re done my stove’s just covered with splattered grease. Ick. Same problem with bacon.
Then I noticed that the chefs on a lot of the cooking shows I watch were using splatter screens for frying . . . so I went to Amazon, read a zillion reviews, (thanks, Amazon reviewers!), and chose this one. And all those reviewers were not wrong — it’s well put together, feels very sturdy, and best of all, it kept the steaks from spattering grease all over my stove! I’ve only had it a week or so, so I haven’t put it through all its paces yet, but it’s proven to be a great splatter screen, as well as a superior cooling rack for fried cheese crackers . . . I can’t wait to try steaming with it!” —Callidryas

Promising review: “Works great to shield me, my clothes and adjacent surfaces from splatters while cooking. Also helps direct fumes & smoke towards my range hood vents to a certain degree. Cleans easily in the dishwasher, nothing sticks to it, so no scrubbing involved that might scratch the nonstick coating. Hasn’t rusted. Not very tall, but seems to work well enough to be worth setting up (super simple) every time we cook. Would definitely buy again.” —dakwriter

And a set of stove counter gap covers, because you’d be surprised at how many stray crumbs make their way in that space between your stove and countertop.
Promising review: “I ordered these silicone gap covers to keep debris from falling in between our kitchen appliances and the counters. The thing that sold me was when I read a review on here that stated that they were able to use it for the gap between the stove and fridge. I have the same setup in my apartment. Countertop on one side of the stove and fridge on the other. The silicone sticks very well to the fridge, stove and counter. It doesn’t move around very easily, which is a good thing. Just make sure you place it with the wider side of the strip towards the counter as shown in the picture.” —Kevin B.
