How to Clean a Glass Stove in Minutes

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a big fan of my glass hob. I look forward to the day when I can upgrade to a chef’s kitchen with a gas stove. Until this dream comes true, I’m stuck with the difficult task of cleaning this glass burner, a task I’ve been doing for nine years.




I spent a lot of effort and elbow grease meticulously cleaning this glass cooktop, which frustratingly gets dirty from the simplest meal and is particularly stubborn when it comes to food, grease and stain removal.

However, I recently discovered a revolutionary cleaning trick for my glass hob. This is especially useful now that my toddler has become a toddler which has led him to use the stove more frequently.

The beauty of this method is that it only takes a few minutes, and the result is a cleaner, shinier stove than ever!


You don’t have to worry about measurement. Go ahead and apply the following steps:


1-Start by liberally spreading Dawn dish soap all over the stove.


2- Follow with a little hydrogen peroxide.

On top of that, sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda.


Using brush to mix the ingredients while simultaneously clean stovetop.


Using damp paper towel to wipe up cleaning mixture. Here is! Your stove is as cleane as a whistle. I use the brush on a number of stubborn stains, but it came out effortlessly and I wiped it off.


This method you are done. In mn, you’ll have a sparkling clean glass cooktop. & remember, you don’t need to measure precisely. Just spraying it all on and start scrubbing.

OMELET BISCUITS

by

 






Ingredients

  • 1/4 C. diced deli ham
  • 5 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 green onions, chopped whites, and greens
  • 1 C. Colby cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 T. butter
  • Additional flour

How To Make Omelet Biscuits

Using my biscuit recipe make it up to the point just before adding in the milk, set aside.
In a small skillet, melt the butter and toss in the onions and sauté for a minute or two to soften, add in the 2 eggs and gently stir around to begin scrambling.
Remove the eggs when they just begin to set from the heat. To the biscuit mixture add in the bacon, ham, eggs & onions and toss with a fork to combine it all together in the biscuit mixture. Add in the cheese and again, combine well.
Slowly begin adding in the buttermilk and using the fork pull it all together to form a soft (it will be somewhat sticky) dough. Grease an iron skillet or baking sheet and preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Using well-floured hands pinch off a portion of the biscuit dough and roll in your hands and then place in the pan and lightly flatten the top.
Continue with remaining dough. Bake for 15-17 minutes, moving from a bottom rack of the oven to top when the bottom has begun to brown. Remove and rub the tops of the biscuits with butter.
