Glass Cooktop Cleaner

 
GLASS COOKTOP CLEANER - Tried & Tested
There are several things you should not do if you own a smooth top cooking surface.
  • Electric is the only choice for heating your glass stove top. Propane and natural gas can get too hot and crack the top.
  • Cast iron cookware can scratch the cook top and shouldn’t be used. The same goes for anything with rough edges, like ceramic.
  • Pans with round edges don’t provide even heat distribution. Flat bottom pans are best.
  • Avoid using steel wool or other abrasive pads to clean the cook top. These can also cause scratches.
  • Sliding or dragging pans across the top can also cause scratches. Pans should be carefully lifted when moved.
  • Sugar is an enemy of light colored cook tops. Sugar spills that overheat can cause a yellowish stain that can be near impossible to remove.
  • If utensils with food are left on the cook top it can burn onto the top. Things like cheese can stick on and be difficult to remove.
  • Do not place hot pans from the oven directly on top of the cook top.

If you have burned on food, here’s an easy recipe to clean the glass top:

Ingredients:

Hydrogen Peroxide
Baking Soda...
Rag or Sponge
Instructions:
 

In a small bowl mix baking soda with enough hydrogen peroxide to make a paste.
Work paste around in a circle, concentrating on soiled areas.
Baking soda absorbs grease and hydrogen peroxide will help to lift the residue.
Gather up your baking soda in a pile and dispose.
Wet a cloth with water to remove any remaining baking soda.
Buff with a dry rag.

 I also tried using this recipe to clean our stainless steel sink and tea pot and it left them sparkling.

  1. This is the MOST AMAZING tip for cleaning cooktops that I've come across! Thank you so much-I've tried everything on mine, and this took it right up. I never comment on cleaning tips, but I've looked for a way to clean it for so long, and I actually jumped up and down when I saw it starting to come up.

  2. Mankind has come a far way from the discovery of fire till now, gone are the days when the only way to prepare for a meal is to go out in the heat of the sun and gather wood to build a fire, and after gathering the wood you may have to cut them up in to smaller pieces before you could start any fire.
