I had burnt on water stains around my burners for years and could never get them off. I sprayed on the cleaner and left it overnight. Then just wiped away the stains with a wet paper towel the next morning. I couldn't believe how easy it was to literally wipe away the stains! You should use Easy Off Heavy Duty Oven Cleaner.

I was making homemade applesauce today and it boiled over. The pot is now stuck to the stovetop. I mean really stuck!!! Does anyone have any idea how to get it off the stove??? I have only used water so far. I saturated the outside of the pot with water hoping to soften the food underneath but it didn't work. HELP!!!

I thought it was going to ruin my glass top, so my fiance asks if I put foil down will it be safe, figuring since foil has such a high melting point it be fine. Oh boy I was wrong! What should I use? I'm freaking out; we just bought a brand new house and it came with a ll new appliances and we've already ruined the stove!

The directions say glass glass top stoves - it not only cleaned it, it shines like new, it also cleans your old glassware which I have had for 50 years. Try it it is great stuff its been around along time, to bad they don't advertise that.

I didn't jar the pot not wanting to chance cracking the top. I turned the burner on again, and poured water around the pot. The water seeped in and fortunately the pot dislodged. I noticed afterwards that it was very easy to clean the burner area with a very wet paper towel, swooshing it around, and replacing with a new towel a few times while the burner was hot. Good luck to all of us, I wish I had gas again! After cooking soup, the soup pot was stuck to the glass top. I didn’t jar the pot not wanting to chance cracking the top.

Hoping to try a magic eraser. We have used many of the things you all have suggested, and yes the baking soda was used as well.. The one and only thing though that we have found that will get off Most of the stubborn stains from food etc. is 409, 409, 409!!! if you spray this Magic Liquid Grease Remover on the glass Top and go about doing something else for approx 10 min, you will be amazed at how much food and grime will be gone, just wiping it with a Non-Abrasive damp cloth!! Then you can finish with a Glass Stovetop Wax, to create the ultimate shine!! Oh and one more thing about the lady spending $4 for the Barkeepers Friend, are you serious?!?!? We got some one time at big Lots for a Quarter a Can! Wow!!! We bought what was left, approx 5 cans and that was only $1 and change! lol : ) We really don’t have stuck on foods, EXCEPT when my 14 yr old son decides to Cook!! lol Anyway, my problem right now is getting off the many scratches we have, from scooting pans across the top.

Try using CLR which is available from most supermarkets. It works well after leaving it on for a while and then scraping the glass top with a single edge razor blade.

The pot boiled dry, leaving behind two semi-circular paint rings "welded" to the top of my Whirlpool ceramic top stove. Neither soft scrub nor baking soda would touch the rings. My brother, a handyman, suggested gently scraping with a new single-edged razor blade. I put a new blade in a window scraper handle and tested in an inconspicuous place to see if scraping would damage the cooktop. It didn't. So slowly, gently, I worked around the rings, scraping off burned paint. I wiped the razor blade often, flipped the razor blade over occasionally to keep a fresh edge down, and changed the blade once. The ceramic surface proved to be really hard. Any residual specks came off with Soft Scrub. The rings completely disappeared. I left a Teflon-lined pot filled with water on the stove too long.

I recently received one of those blue-speckled 15-quart steamer-soup pot (manufacturer = Mainstays). The instructions on the pot state, "do not use on glass cooktop surfaces." Does you know why? Does it have something to do with the painted, enamel on the pot? I have a glass top stove that is approx. 13 years old.

You can buy a cleaner for glass stovetops or any kitchen grease cleaner to remove anything from water overflows to "what look like scratches." Let the product sit on the stain for a while. Then all you need is a pretty abrasive scrubber and little effort. Anything brown, white or scratched will come off in a couple minutes. I have a black stovetop and I do it every week. NEVER use Windex unless you're just making it shine and then you should clean that off before you start cooking again otherwise it will smoke a little. Even the Stovetop companies say to never use Windex. That's not a cleaner. If you burn anything sugar based on your stovetop like me right now, good luck. I've been working on it for 24 hours.

When anything gets cooked onto the stove top, wait until it has cooled down a little, then spray a heavy coat of foam on the entire area. Let it sit for about five minutes or more. If you want, put a piece of plastic or a pan lid over it to keep it from drying out and go do something else. Use a foam pad that has the mesh on the back to scrub the entire area. Wipe it off to see if all the crud is gone. If not, give it another spray of the tub and tile cleaner, let it sit, scrub and wash off with clean water and a sponge. Polish with a cloth or paper towel. You might use the baking soda as a polishing agent and to pick up any grease left on the stovetop. Tub and tile cleaner is great for cleaning cabinets, faucets, exhaust fans, inside and outside of the hood, too. Fast and simple.

I boiled potatoes which splattered. After the top cooled it took some work but the cooked on raised spots came off. The top is all smooth but around the areas where those spots were there is a haze in the glass now. I have used the Cerama Bryte that came with the stove and a paper towel several times but it's not helping. I was afraid to buy this and use it and now I know why! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanksgiving was only the third time I used the glass cooktop on our new range. I boiled potatoes which splattered.
