Unlikely the markings would survive that.

IOW, you don't know, but you'll open your stupid gob anyway, as usual. G

If its a Ceramic Induction Hob, I am tempted to say that they do not
need much cleaning. Just a wipe down. If you leave a pan on without
water you may need to use a cream (plastic bath) cleaner like Cif.

Unless you are used to handling seriously corrosive chemicals it is
probably a lot safer to get someone experienced in to do it. The lady
who did ours managed to get a caustic burn answering her mobile phone
despite using the proper PPE - it only takes a moments distraction.

Strong caustic will get one that has been abused to the point of having
5mm layers of burnt on greasy carbon muck on all the rings which is how
our hob was returned to us when we returned home from overseas.

Modest levels should be cleanable with the basic soft cream cleaner sold
specifically for ceramic hobs. Anything too aggressive by way of
abrasive will potentially weaken it with scratches. It is much better to
keep it clean than to allow it to get badly messed up and then nuke it.

Use Flash type cleaner in a trigger pack first, leaving it for five
minutes before rinsing.

Failing that, a cream cleaner: I don't know whether the special ones for
ceramic hobs are any better (or safer).

Failing that, you can get special scrapers to remove burnt food.

Of course, you should try to avoid a build up.

Yes they are.

(or safer).

They are equally safe.

Easier said than done with some cooking, particularly with
marmalade which needs a fast boil with the lid off to get
it to set properly and so you inevitably get bubbles popping
and splashing on to the hot ceramic top. Only and induction
cooktop fixes that because you can have a cloth over the
top and just put that in the washing machine afterwards.

So caustic works, thank you. I'll ignore the condescending stuff.

What I use is in order is:
1: try wiping it.
2: use caustic on fats
3: use limnseacle remover on dried water
4: use steel pan scourer
5: Use fine grade wet and dry - and T-cut on anything that wont come off
any other way. But not often

Ceramic is HARD. steel pan scourers dont scratch it, but tungsten
carbide paper does, a little. Hence T cut

It is your eyesight and your risk of skin burns.

Don't leave it on too long and try to keep it mainly on the carbonised
fatty deposits. It will eventually go for the ceramic surface but but
any matting will polish out with the normal hob cleaner cream.

Ceramic hobs are very hard. Use a metal scraper to remove burnt-on food,
then finish off with Hob Brite - wonderful stuff. [But read the
instructions!]

The Achilles heel of the type of glass these hobs are made of are spillages
that have a high proportion of Sugar, it causes surface pitting and though
it will not affect performance you may never get back to a perfectly
smooth surface again, which in turn means it gets grubbier quicker than it
once did.
