Son cooked yesterday and opted to use my two burner grill pan. I told
him to keep the heat down, which he didn't and he didn't let the meat
drain before he put it on the grill - so you can imagine the mess! It
took over an hour to clean the hood and backsplash this morning.

The grill-pan itself had burned on crud like you wouldn't believe, so
I thought I was being smart to turn it over and burn it off. If
you're ever in that situation, resist the urge and DON'T do it. The
reflected heat ruined the porcelain finish on my stovetop. It has
bubbled up and will flake off eventually. Bad, bad, bad!

Fortunately, that part of the stove seems to be a separate piece - so
I'm hoping I can replace it sometime in the near future.
