Default Cleaning Electric cooker hobs - Tips??

Been using some stuff called "Hob Brite" to clean the new cooker hob but
wondered if there were any alternatives that maybe cheaper, better or simply
easier to try. Hob is only few weeks old so would like to keep it clean as
much as possible, for as long as possible.
Any handy tips?
TIA

I don't know of that product but if your hob is stainless steel then
after you have cleaned it get some cotton wool and a small amount of
Baby Oil and burnish the metal with it and it comes up lovely

Yes, very good stuff but it is mildly abrasive. Hence the warning not
to use it on "mirror polished stainless steel".

Can be hard to find Tesco don't do it but Asda does.

Is it any different to Brasso? Seems to be used in pubs for polishing
brass.

It's more abrasive than Brasso. Put a bit of BKF on your hand and rub
it with a finger and you can feel the very fine grit. I have a feeling
that Brasso is mildly acidic as well, however BKF may well be
alkaline... Brasso also leaves a residue to protect the polished
surface so your polished brass stays brighter longer.
