I use coconut oil for everything – including lightly frying my foods and crisping up some burritos. However, when you get your pan piping hot, grease splatter is bound to happen no matter what you’re frying despite your pick of oil.
Before you know it, your stovetop is absolutely covered in a gleaming mist of oil droplets that are impossible to clean up without a smeared mess and wasted paper towels.
Over at Lifehacker, they found a tip from food author David Lebovitz who saves the day from using an idea from Rebecca Lang, a food recipe author herself.
As seen in Lebovitz's photo above, if you want a super easy cleanup after frying foods, you should cover your stovetop with tin foil first. Then, after you’re finished frying your foods, the splattered mess will be easy as lifting up the foil to a clean surface.
You can always recycle the foil, save it and reuse it later, or repurpose it such as crinkling it up and scrubbing your grill clean (thanks to a Lifehacker commenter’s suggestion).
Easy, simple, and you just can’t go wrong.
