If there’s one thing my aunt is known for (besides her legendary pies), it’s her sparkling clean kitchen — especially her stove. No matter how much cooking she does, her stove always looks showroom-new. Her secret? A simple, foolproof method for removing stubborn soot and grime that she swears by — and now, I’m sharing it with you.
