Cleaning Flat electric stove tops?
With the new flat top stoves everything that boils over ends up
hardening on the surface. What is the best way to deal with that hardened residue? Thanks. |

As others have said, you can remove the bulk with razor blades and cleaners. There are cleaners that are made specifically for this purpose, and it is best to use them before the spill is left for a long time. |

Turn the ****ing heat down or move the pot off the burner. Or leave the burnt mess on forever as a warning to others that a moron lives there. |

I'd stay away from the razor blade as it has the potential to dig in and scratch or gouge the top. Use a heavy duty plastic pot scraper with rounded edges then clean the rest with a mild cleaner. |

Almost anything that will not scratch glass will work. I use a copper 'scrubby' and 409 plus a bit of razor blade scraping for the 'rim' around the edge. Dunno why that thin, narrow ring gets on there but the scrubby doesn't really touch it. The special cleaners seem a rather expensive way to do it. Harry K |

Scrape off all the thick stuff first with a razor and then spray the
rest with oven cleaner. Works great for me in breaking up the burnt stuff. For mineral deposits (calcium buildup), I use Lime-Away. |
