What Can I Use to Remove Burnt-On Stains on a Glass Stovetop?
No matter how vigilant you stand over the stove, you still risk burnt food sticking to the surface. However, hot water alone is often strong enough to remove burnt-on food from a glass stovetop. Does this Spark an idea?

Cleaning
-
When the stove cools, pour hot water directly onto the burnt-on food. Wait a few minutes for the water to soften the food, and then gently scrape it off with a razor blade or a scraper designed for glass. If that fails to work, sprinkle baking soda on the stain. Rub a damp sponge across the stove, using the baking soda as an abrasive to knock the stain loose.
Prevention
-
Wipe the stove after each use, and clean up spills as soon as they occur. If you leave spills sitting on a hot stove, the heat draws the moisture out of the food, causing it to stick to the glass.

Warning
-
Never clean a glass stovetop while the stove is still on or still warm, because you can burn yourself. If the stove still feels warm to the touch, wear an oven mitt while cleaning.
