Burnt Stain on a Ceramic Stove

I have a flat top stove that has burnt on 'stuff'. I've tried just about everything on the market, to no avail. Does anyone know of something that will get the black burnt on mess off my stove?

Get yourself a small box of Laundry Detergent called Surf.
Make a thin paste of it with HOT water and put onto the stains/crud. Heat that with a blow dryer and scrape gently with a plastic pot scraper or scrub with a plastic mesh scrubber.

Surf works because of the enzymes in it. The hot water and extra heat activate the enzymes and you can much easier scrape or scub it off.

Oven cleaner won't hurt it, get your self a single sided razor holder and use that to scrape, it won't scratch the glass, at least it hasn't on the last 3 that we've had.

Try baking soda with a wet cloth and scrub.

Have you tried using a razor blade to scrape it off? My stove came with a razor blade holder. Seems like it would damage the stovetop, but it doesn't.

BAKING SODA works great for this. Dampen the stove top, sprinkle on the soda and rub. Works better than any commercial cleaner that I've tried. AND it's cheap and eco-friendly.

Try the magic eraser they work wonders and won't scratch.

My expert (my husband the appliance tech) suggests using Weiman (brand name) glass stovetop cleaner. This is the only thing you should be using on the ceramic cooktop. It has a very mild abrasive in it. But made for glass cooktops. You can get it fairly cheap at Walmart.
