I would give a good cleaning, then a light sanding. Primer and then paint in color of choice. Then several coats of a good sealer. I sometimes skimp on the paint but never the sealer.
If you paint and primer with oil based paint, no sealer is needed. Paint really isn't made to be sealed. Sometimes it will peel.
You don’t say what the material is made of the cabinets I’m assuming wood so you would sand them sown just enough to new wood then eather paint or stain
The stove area, I would clean with a good degreaser. I use Dollar Tree Awesome Orange, and get the car sponge, round plastic scrubbies and rubber kitchen gloves for the job.
The undercabinent area, if its stained wood on the doors, I just take them off, give a light sand and then restain if needed and a coat or two of Spar Varnish. Inside the cabinet, clean any mold up and if the wood is still good a coat of semi-gloss Kitchen & Bath paint will work, and then I use a piece of contact paper for easy cleaning. If the floor is warped in the cabinet you can just replace it with a piece of 1/2" plywood,,,, paint it and use a piece of contact paper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xwqMSPM2Wo
