After cooking, I sprayed windex on one of the burners while it was hot, later i noticed that it looks like melted cheese on there, and it wont come off? did the windex do this? or was it like this? bluestargecko AT yahoo.com Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning a Smooth Top Stove Post By (Guest Post) (03/27/2008) Chris_ the ring is probably metal that you melted off of the pot. I don't know how you could get it off other than possibly heating it back up to that same melting point, but as it is probably more than 1000 degrees it would be very dangerous to try to wipe off at that point.

I put a pot on my ceramic top stove, turned the knob to HIGH, then the phone rang and I went to answer it forgetting that I had the empty pot on the stove! Well, about 10 minutes later I ran back in the kitchen as I smelled burning. Thank God there was nothing in the pot but something had oozed out from the bottom of the pot on to the stove top creating a ring. Don't know if it was just very old, cooked on grease or what. Well, after it cooled, I used all of the cleaners mentioned and even a razor blade (which I've used before) but there is still a very visible ring of "something". Any thoughts or ideas on what this could be or how I can remove it? Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning a Smooth Top Stove Post By Chris (Guest Post) (02/13/2008) Help!!

This seems to help and adds a great shine. Works great with the "magic" eraser sponge! Still hate my stove though! Am stuck with it also!

But I found that one of the Mr. Clean "sponges" work very well for taking a lot of the dark stains and circles off. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning a Smooth Top Stove Post By jmunchkin@verizon.net (Guest Post) (01/03/2008) I think I have a different problem. Have a Bosch smooth top and have no problem cleaning. However, I have dark stains left behind around the circles and inner area as well. The crust and crud are gone and it is smooth - but this stuff I can't scrape up and any cleaner I use does not get this out. I'm very diligent about cleaning all the time but these stains won't go away. Thanks.

I was nervous about using the razor blade on the stovetop but the gentleman at lowes had used it on his stove an assured me it was ok. It worked and didn't damage the top. I use it all of the time now.

It is used to clean smooth top stoves. At one time it was distributed by a Company by the name of Benkiser Consumber Products in Greenwich, Ct.

I have had my glass cooktop for almost two months now, and I don't regret it for a minute! I love it! I very rarely have to use a razor. It's VERY easy to clean, although you have to give it a good cleaning every two days or so. I took the advice from the people who told me to get Barkeeper's Friend, and it's a great product. I use it all the time, never have scratches, and it really works on the cooked on gunk.I just use it with water, and the rough side of a sponge in a circular motion. Then I just take a clean wet cloth and wipe everything off. A spray of windex at the end shines everything up nice. No problems using windex. This plan works like a charm. thanks to all who responded!!

Easier to clean a reg coil burner.... just use windex on the top... not on ceramic top though.... crazy. a man must have invented it Report Spam or Abuse Request: Cleaning a Smooth Top Stove Post by lewis_admin (1210) | (01/08/2007) Profile | Blog! | Contact I have a new smooth, black ceramic top stove. Does anyone have any ideas on the best way to clean it, or a cheap cleanser to use that won't scratch the surface? It would be nice if there was something that I might have on hand at home? I have a store bought bottle, but it isn't cheap. Ann from Ontario Answers: RE: Cleaning a Smooth Top Stove I clean mine with Soft scrub. Works great! (10/09/2006) By Linda RE: Cleaning a Smooth Top Stove I use CERAMA BRYTE that I buy at Home Depot. It is made for glass top cooking stoves. Does a great job and easy to use. (10/09/2006) By Dean RE: Cleaning a Smooth Top Stove I used baking soda works great. Make a paste, wipe it all over the glass top, let sit for a few minutes till hard then wipe off with warm cloth. (10/09/2006) By SHEILA RE: Cleaning a Smooth Top Stove I have a smooth top stove also. I've had it for several years. The booklet that came with it tells me to get burned off food and other things such as grease to use a single edge razor blade. I put a liquid cleaner on it first just for the moister and use the razor blade. It is wonderful. Does not scratch top surface as this was recommended in my booklet.Then use the stove top cleaner on it to give it shine and helps to keep foods from sticking the next time.It is still as pretty as the day I bought it. Don't let foods stay on your burners and cook something else over it, because it can leave pits in your stove top that will never come out. I wouldn't buy anything other than a smooth cooktop burners. (10/09/2006) By katy RE: Cleaning a Smooth Top Stove Mr Clean eraser, baking soda or Cameo cleanser. All work great! I use different ones depending on how much crud is on it. I don't buy the expensive stuff anymore. I have had mine for 4 years and it looks like the day I bought it. Good luck :) http://www.2ewenique.com (10/09/2006) By RE: Cleaning a Smooth Top Stove I use baking soda on mine and have for years. It looks like new. I also use a sample of laminate kitchen counter as my scraper instead of the razor blade scraper that was recommended in my book that came with the stove.

I do and have found cleaning it aggravating with the commercial products out there (plus they are expensive).. Instead, I scrape off any raised burned on food with a single edge razor blade and then apply Cameo cleaner and use a generic "Eraser" sponge. All the darkened areas come right off without wearing you out! Much easier and less expensive method of cleaning. You can also use baking soda and an eraser when the cleanup isn't as burnt on. By Hvnlyhills from Peebles, OH Answers: RE: Cleaning a Smooth Top Electric Stove I also use Barkeeper's Friend. It is about $1 at the grocery store and is very mild on the finish. (11/16/2005) By Pigsoouie RE: Cleaning a Smooth Top Electric Stove I also have a smooth top stove. Buy and use Barkeepers Friend. Its located close to comet. Works marvelously !! Wet stove top and sprinkle across the top. Let sit for few minutes and wipe off with wet rag. Use sparingly and very cheap. Works on any ceramic or stainless steel. Bar keepers use it. Cheap product. Also use on bottom of pots and pans. (11/17/2005) By dtmiddle1 Report Spam or Abuse
