How to Clean Burnt Milk on a Flat Surface Stove

There's nothing like a cup of hot cocoa on a chilly winter afternoon, until the milk boils over and leaves a mess on your stove. Burned milk is a tough stain to remove from any surface, but especially the glass or ceramic cooktop on a flat surface stove. You can't use harsh chemicals or tough scouring pads for fear of scratching or etching the cooktop. Instead, follow the manufacturer's suggestions for removing tough burned-on food and watch the cocoa more carefully next time.
