Before you buy a new appliance, consider whether or not it will be easy to clean. Pick your range based on what will be easiest to wipe down. For example, look at the knobs on your oven to make sure there are no hard-to-reach corners.
Invest in appliances with cleaning features, and your appliance will do the work for you. For example, pyrolytic ovens use high temperatures to rid the oven of residue, while steam ovens clean with automatic drying and steaming programs.
