I left a tea kettle on my glass top range, forgot it and 2 hours later all the water was gone and the bottom of the kettle had burned onto the cooktop. The glass is not cracked or indented but a black ring is left. I have used the cooktop cleaner and razor with little effect. Can anything take this ring off? ( I can see the dots under the ring).

I was making hot pepper jelly with a lot of sugar and vinegar and let it boil over. I have a real burned mess on one burner and can't get it off.

1) use oven cleaner on the glass cook top. 2) pour a couple cups of water / dish liquid and let it soak overnight. 3)e Mr. Clean magic eraser sponge. 4) a paste of baking soda would bring up the burned particles, carefully be lifted off once it dries so as to not scratch the surface. How can I make my own "cream" cleaner, like the one that came with my cook top - any "recipes" out there?

I would like a response as to how to clean the gray ring left on the glass after leaving a teapot on for 2 hours and burning the tea pot on it. I tried the paste several times, and the BonAmi cleanser. The scraper does nothing.

I just melted a sheet of plastic wrap on my Glass Top Range the other night. The first response, I was very upset and frustrated with myself. I then had to take immediate action. I let the Range Top, cool down, then immediately applied, the Cream Cleaner, I let the Cleaner dry on the melted sheet of plastic wrap; then I took a scraper and gently began scrapping of the plastic residue. I rinsed the area off with a damp sponge; and then reheated the Range Top once again; I let it cool down as I did previously; then again; I applied the Range Top Cream Cleaner... I let it dry once again... and then finally, scraped off the remaining plastic wrap residue; along with sponging down the area with a damp sponge. The Range Top looks great!

We just installed a white glass top range and already it is a mistake. I presume black might be better. White is a disaster.

We are now deep cleaning the outside of all our pots and pans, and that helps, but even a perfectly clean pan seems to leave little black spots.

Unhappy.

Some water with butter and milk in it boiled over onto my glass top stove and left something like what you are talking about. I tried the cleaner for the glass top first, but it didn't budge the black ring. When I scratched it hard with my finger nail, it would show signs that it would come off, but I was scared to use a razor blade for fear of scratching the surface. I ended up leaving a wet cloth on top of the ring that had hot water, dish washing detergent, and even some dish "washer" detergent in it. Every now and then, I would go by and scrub over the ring with the detergents and rag or a non-scratch coated sponge. After a few hours, it completely dissolved and the surface still looked like new.""

Hi Barbara,
We purchased one recently. After many years of electric burners and burner pans, I love it. It is so much easier to clean. Just wipe it off. I'd be careful not to use anything abrasive that might scratch the surface but for the most part, I just use a window cleaner on it and let it sit for a minute, then wipe it clean.

Can anyone give me some advice re purchasing one of these? I am thinking of it but I hear some nasty stories about burning, splatters etc. I would really appreciate any comments of your experiences as I am rethinking my position here. Thanx..BAP

Try using baking soda and vinegar mixed and let it sit on the black spot. Scrub with a sponge. Also you might try using white tooth paste.

I have always used cork and lots of elbow grease with bon ami or the range top cleaner. Always seemed to work better than anything else.

I used to have a glass-top range (I sure do miss it). For burnt-on food, I used a product called Range Kleen. Squirt it around the burnt area and leave it for a while. Wash it off with a nylon scrubber, then use a razor on whatever's left. It didn't work perfectly--there was still a little of the crud left, but it sure did look better. Hope that helps!
