Here are a bunch of suggestions.

I had a high end, high Btu Wolf gas range before my induction gas top. I love the induction and glass top, very easy to keep clean and the kitchen stays cleaner and cooler.

If it's kind of thick--I scrape it with a razor blade and then use Weiman Amooth Top Range cleaner it polishes it up like new--Easy to use---I apply it with a nylon scratcher and poish with a paper towel

Bar Keepers friend is the best I have used it for decades for everything and so cheap next to other not so effective cleaners, my cleaning cupboard wouldn't be complete without it, didn't know you could get it over the pond.

Another useful tip, when the top is cooled throw a thoroughly soaked dishcloth over it and leave it until you get time to clean it properly, it will start loosening the bits n pieces.

I prefer my gas range. I soak the grates in a sink full of hot water after I spray them with power spray in blue pump bottle. By the time the water cools all grease etc. is off. Rinse and dry.

This is what I also use, my stove is approx 10 years old and top looks like new... PS Yes I do cook on it :)

I like the fact that when the stove is off, it doubles as a counter top. I don't have a lot of counter space otherwise.

I used a paint scrapper on mine all the time. Took off almost anything that needed it

I, too, have the glass top and as nice as they look in the store, they are a real pain to clean. Even using the cleaner the manufacturer gave me, it leaves it a bit streaked looking. The baking soda sounds like it is definitely worth a try since I have a spot or two I haven't been able to get off. I've only had the stove 3 months so maybe the care will become easier as time goes on. Thank you for sharing all the suggestions.

I had one and I kind of miss it. We have gas now which is my preference, but I do miss my glass top sometimes.

I found it very easy to clean. I'd scrape it with a razor if anything stuck. Anything persistent, I'd lay a hot damp rag over it for awhile and that always softened it up enough that the razor would make short work of it. We had ours about 5 years with zero troubles. We sold it with the house. Mine had a 5th burner in the center that could be made small, medium, or large which was something I actually used fairly often. Mine also had a red light that would stay on if the top was still warm, which was a feature I specifically looked for. I am pretty sure it was a Kenmore.

I prefer gas but if I bought a house that was only set up for electric, I'd buy another glass top for sure.
