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.
