When you’re busy making dinner after a full day of work and other activities, it can be tempting to simply ignore spills when they happen. However, leaving spills to get cold, dry, and hard can cause some serious wear-and-tear on your cooktop. Sugary spills can cause cooktops to become yellow, while acidic spills can mar the finish of your cooktop. Clean up spills promptly to save yourself lots of scrubbing later, and to keep your cooktop in prime condition for plenty of time to come.

If your cooktop is glass, the burner bowls reflect heat back to the pot or saucepan as you cook. If your burner bowls are allowed to become black and dirty, they won’t be able to reflect heat at all, plus your cooktop will be less efficient.

It’s definitely tempting to drag your pots on and off burners as you cook, but you could be seriously damaging your cooktop with this habit. It’s important that if you have a glass or ceramic cooktop, you never drag a pot or pan on it. That’s because any grit or grim that’s on the bottom of your pot or pan could scratch up your cooktop.

Invest in a high quality non-abrasive cleaner for your cooktop, or simply use a paste made up of baking soda and water. Abrasive cleaners can scratch the finish on cooktops, plus you’ll have to scrub away to get any grime off. Give yourself a break – get a high quality non-abrasive cleaner that’s been especially made for cooktops – and you won’t have to scrub until your arms get tired. Your cooktop will also stay in excellent condition much longer.

Protect your cooktop by putting glass bakeware away from it. Never put hot glass bakeware onto your glass or ceramic cooktop to cool. Your bakeware and your cooktop will stay in ideal condition by following this important advice.
