Meanwhile, take a plastic bag and place it inside the counter. Place the stove with the burners in another bag and spray the degreaser you prepared earlier inside the bags.
Leave to rest for around ten minutes then take the grills, clean them with a kitchen sponge with the green part and rinse under running water , preferably lukewarm. Also clean the stove and burners with the sponge, taking care to remove any encrustations with the green part and rinse with tap water.
