I bought new wood cabinets - is there anything i can do to prevent grease buildup?

[Phokus]

Hey guys,

I bought new wood cabinets for our kitchen. We do a lot of cooking and smoke would often cause sticky grease to accumulate on our cabinets. Is there anything i could spray or wipe on our cabinets that would make it easier to clean grease off the cabinets every now and then? I read it's often a good idea to just wipe the cabinets after every time you cook, but i'm lazy as **** and looking for an alternative.

a light spritzing of PAM ought to do it.

i mean it makes cookware non stick and is afaik non toxic.

:awe:

You do realize that you're supposed to ventilate the greasy smoke out of the house right?

Yeah i bought one of those range hoods, but i imagine it won't get all of the smoke though.

Are they bare wood or lacquered/oiled?

Probably just keep them wiped; maybe once a week. It's easier if they don't get build up. Range hoods that don't vent outside suck. Sometimes that's the only choice, but it's a bad choice.

You need an oleophobic coating to repel oil.

Is this something that you can just put on after the finish coat like a wax?

Looks like it might need a sprayer.

Two part system applies by air atomized spray

Unvented to the outside will never get all of the smoke. Just eat out like 98% of America.

lacquered/oiled for sure

Is this safe for laquered wood?

It's vented! Just a little worried some smoke will escape and not be caught by the hood though.

Dilithium Crystals repel grease......

Just do what everyone else does and buy new cabinets over and over.

What the hell are you cooking in the kitchen? Might want to move the grill out onto the deck.

Some of it has to do with the type of oil used. Olive oil and grapeseed oil tend to produce a lot of particles. I recently switched to Avocado oil and noticed that it doesn't tend to spray as much airborne residue around the kitchen.

Regardless, I do a major kitchen degreasing twice a year. It doesn't matter how often you wipe surfaces and appliances down. If you cook with oil your kitchen will require a major thorough deep cleansing occasionally from floor to ceiling.

Get better range hood.
