For Stovetop Grease: You can apply the same steam method using a pan of water on your stovetop. Heat it up in a similar manner to loosen stubborn grease, and then wipe it away.
Citrus Option: If you prefer a natural, fresh scent, you can place a few slices of lemon in the water. The lemon will add a refreshing smell and also enhance the grease-cutting ability.
Vinegar Alternative: Instead of dish soap, you can mix equal parts vinegar and water in the pan for a natural cleaning solution that can handle grease.
