Smooth Top Stove Update
#12
My son just had a new top installed to replace one that had melted because of a hot empty pan left on it. No, he didnt do it! He just moved into a new house, and after the place had been inspected, the former owners had let that happen. I didn't know that could happen!! Anyway, that guy told him to get some paste wax, apply and polish, about three coats and it would keep it like new. Seems to me the wax would melt!

To get the majority off, I use to (when I had a ceramic top) wet a paper towel with ammonia. Let it lie on top of the burnt area along with a piece of saran wrap over it to prevent drying. I usually left it on over night. Less elbow grease, less work. This also works in the oven. For the racks, put them in a garbage bag along with a cup of ammonia and let sit over night. Wipe off in morning. When I was in the Navy this was the easiest and cheapest way to clean.

I use the razor but first I let the top cool before doing anything. Then I wipe it all up, the razor is my last resort. But to prevent the spills from burning, as soon as I notice a spillover, I turn off the burner and move the pot to another one of equal size. My thinking is that if it doesn't continue to burn on it will clean better. So far so good. I wipe my stove everytime I do dishes, wipe up spills when they happen and every couple weeks do the scraping thing. My stove is two years old and even after my husband does his cooking it still looks like new.

I have really burned some icky stuff over the years and I am sure it would have not come off without my razor

About 14 years ago I bought my first smoothtop and the salesman told me to use the razor blade to get off the hard stuff too. It really makes clean up a lot quicker.[quote=BellaBoo]A scraper with a razor blade came with my new smoothtop and in the manual it says to scrap off all burnt on food first with the razor scrapper before cleaning.[/quote)
