Reply to comment by humble_oppossum in LPT: clean your stovetop after using the oven. The heat loosens grime for easy removal by Cando232

I've done this but I've always wondered if this wouldn't reduce the lifespan of the pan, given that once you poured cold water into the hot pan the sudden change of temperature will affect it. As far as I remember even some non stick pans have that warning in the packaging.

My personal experience is that it's fine as long as the temperatures aren't extreme and you're not submerging the pan in cold water. The pan usually cools down a little before I do this anyway. They don't retain heat like cast iron. It's often the last thing I do before I sit down to eat
