Cleaning Spills on Flat Top Stove

RE: Cleaning Spills on Flat Top Stove Post By MacMacGA (Guest Post) (11/19/2008) Easy Off has a new glass top cleaner that works very well. It doesn't leave the streaks and smudges that the other cleaners did. I have a GE black surface which has been a pain to clean. I still need the razor for the burnt on stuff. I had a gray glass top stove in another house that cleaned much easier.

On the first use, I wiped a small spill with a kitchen towel, melting/burning the towel slightly. It left a foggy streak on the edge of the burner. I was sick to my stomach! I used baking soda and water. It came right off! What a relief!!!

We are tidy people and even our friends have made comments on what an eye sore the stains are. We have tried many recommendations to no avai. It is white top and wanted black but I see black is no better from the comments. Next time I will just go back to a regular stove. This one is so embarrassing for people to see. I want to just cover it with a table cloth. LOL Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning Spills on Flat Top Stove Post By Justin (Guest Post) (08/02/2008) Ladies and Gentlemen! I'm supposed to be watching my sisters house and I just made a wreck out of her black, flat top range. I went frantic and found 'cook top' brand 'cleaning creme for smooth top ranges' I put it on while the top was cool and grabbed the damp dish sponge (using the scrubber side) and gently scrubbed the 'stains' away!

They mentioned about using the razor blade to clean spills. So I bought one and now regret it. I love the flat surface, but like everyone else, I hate cleaning it. I have 6 cleaning products and a razor and nothing works that great. To make it worst, the afternoon sun shines on it and you can see any streak or spot. I am going to take the suggestion and try the soft scrub with bleach.

Mix it 50/50 with "Goo Gone" (Clear bottle with Yellow/Orange Liquid.) This is what happens: Cerama is basically a VERY FINE liquid sandpaper. It slowly scratches away the burnt food. Goo Gone slowy penetrates to liquify to food. Together the Cerama scatches and the Goo Gone to strips the food Very Fast. Stains I had for months were literally gone in seconds. IMPORTANT!!!! - Goo Gone can be flamible and the fumes most likely are not healthy. Wipe up all cleaner before using the stove.

I used it for the "first time" and cooked some eggs and bacon. When we were through cooking there was a round area where the pan sat which was discolored and looked horribly scratched. I took good look at bottom of pan and it has ridges and looks like copper is in the makeup of the pan. I used the ceramabryte that comes with the oven and buffed and buffed and used the razor some. It looks much better but there is still a "foggy" area in the middle of the burner... anyone have any ideas? I wonder if this material has gotten too far down in the glass top to every be removed?

Lay the washcloth over the stain. It should help melt the sugar. Basically it's like having hard candy stuck to your stove. If you just keep washing out the cloth and putting it back on the stain, it should come off.
