PSA for Glasstop Stove owners

[spacejamz]

Who knew you just scrape off the caked on grease with a razor? I had a large circle of crud that would not come off using the Ceramabrite glasstop cleaner, no matter how hard I tried...

On the back of the label, it suggested using their scraper for difficult to remove grease stains...

after looking at this on Amazon, it is basically a plastic scrapper with a blade...I found my blade scraper in the junk drawer, sprayed some degreaser and 15 minutes later, the stove top looked brand new...

I was a little hesitant about scratching, but there wasn't a single scratch from doing this...

My glasstop is about 8 years old and it literally looks almost new again...

I thought the grey circles that outline the burner had a faded or worn off...they were just covered by the grease stains...

There's no way in hell I'm scrapping my glass stove top w/ a razor blade. I know it's not perfect when I used a paper towel and Ceramabrite, but it gets rid of the water spot and major stains. Good enough for me.

google glasstop stove cleaning with razor...the cerabrite and paper towels will not remove caked on grease...

how well do those things actually work?

My new range(with induction) came with a razor blade with a plastic handle to use.

Glass top stove? My mother's seems to work pretty well. I'm not a fan of electric stoves, but it works as well as any.

My mums got a cooker with a couple of inductive rings on it. They are great if you use the right pots.

PSA to cast-iron-grill-top stove owners: Just turn up the gas and burn that crap off.

I prefer scraping over scrapping mine.

Induction is awesome. Going to get one as my next stove down the line.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Induction cook tops need to DIAF. They cater to one group only, the "looks are more important than function" bunch.

Does your cookware work with it?

But gas is better for cooking.

I agree. Sometimes, you can't hardly even turn them off.

 

[mattpegher]

A razor scrapper can usually be safely used on most glass surfaces. It will even remove hard water stains. Spent one afternoon just scrapping down the shower enclosure.

Yeah, I had an induction hot plate for three years and detested it.

This is what I have at home right now. I love it. The temperature is self regulated and it heats up really fast. I haven't tried cooking steak in it though. Will test it out next month.

Gas is for a cottage or camper. I have never seen a gas stove in a house here. But yeah I do enjoy stuff that's been cooked with gas better normally. That's what the BBQ, or going camping is for. 😎

As for induction, so they're actually not that good for cooking? I always had the impression they were better and more efficient as the energy is concentrated on the pan/pot.

Man's been cooking shit with fire for oh...250,000 years or so. Or even as long as 3 million years depending on the school of thought. Tough to beat that much experience with fancy gizmos.

kinda like that.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

kinda like that.

That's like an adaptation for lack of room in a room that has no need for it. It's silly and over the top. Why can I never find these kind of people with more money than brains to invest in a real restaurant?

 

[Red Squirrel]

I think it's kind of cool, and can't be that hard to make, the tricky part is finding rails for it but I'm sure there must be something out there at the hardware store that would work. It only extends like 2 feet or so, so the rail does not need to be visible on the part that gets exposed.

What would be really hax is if you put a nut or bolt in a glass of water and put it on top of that counter when it's over the induction coil and that water would start to boil. People would be like "wtf?".

Because you have to be insane to invest in a restaurant. Twice as insane to cook in one.

I know you're in the business. You can't deny either statement 🙂

 

[quikah]

I used oven cleaner to great success when I moved out of my apartment with one of those things. Hated that stove with a passion.

LOL some people actually think they can scratch their stove stops with a razor. Adorable.
