How to Clean Burnt Sugar Off an Electric Stove

Boiling sugary mixtures, such as candy recipes, over high heat may cause them to bubble up and boil over onto electric stove surfaces. Burnt sugar quickly dries onto electric stove tops and bonds to their smooth surfaces. The longer burnt sugar sets on an electric stove, the harder the brittle granules become to remove. Besides appearing unattractive, burnt sugar particles attract insects, which are unsanitary around stoves. Promptly clean burnt sugar off an electric stove before the gritty grime becomes a stubborn stain.
