My daughter dropped a plastic hot dog bag on my smooth top stove. I have tried the Cerama Bryte, scraping with my fingernail and nail polish remover but it did not remove it. Any suggestions on how to clean the burnt plastic from my smooth top stove?

I use easyoff oven cleaner. Spray on the area let stand 15 minutes, then scrape off with a razor... Presto..it's gone. This how I clean it all the time. The razor will not scrath the surface,.

TAKE SOME WAX PAPER AND PUT IT OVER THE MELTED PLASTIC AND TAKE A HOT IRON AND IRON OVER THE TOP OF IT. WHEN THE PLASTIC IS SOFT ENOUGH YOU CAN PEEL OR SCRAPE IT OFF. I ALWAYS HAVE A PLASTIC SCRAPER ON HAND. HOPE THIS WORKS FOR YOU.

Try taking wax paper and iron the wax paper on top of the melted plastic. When the plastic is hot enough work it off with a plastic scraper or butter knife. This has worked for me many times. Good luck

I burned plastic on mine once, and just carefully used the razor scraper - works great.

I always keep a single edged razor blade in my kitchen on the formica splashback edge for just such projects.

Also, if you are careful with the spray/splash and have a light touch, you can use oven cleaner letting it sit for about an hour, and that, too will remove it, rinsing with cool water and a paper towel. Wear gloves, use ventilation.

God bless and help you. : )

WD-40 takes plastic bags off toasters. May be that would work on the stovetop. Remembered a wash it thoroughly before firing it up.

I like my razor scraper--just be careful to keep the angle close to the stove so you don't risk scratching. I also like Bon Ami (a scratchless powder) for tough messes on mine.

I use an old credit card (or grocery "savings" card) as a scraper to remove difficult substances without scratching the surface. This might help.

I've use a razor blade on mine. Also the tabs off of bread bags make good scrapers.
