# How to Get Burnt Foil Off the Stovetop
Foil burnt onto the stovetop is unsightly, plus glass cooktops cook better when there is nothing between the heating element and the pan. There are a number of cleaners that do not scratch the surface of ceramic glass cooktops, but these cleaners do not always clean off heavy residue such as burnt-on foil. However, there is a way to clean this mess safely and easily.
Things You'll Need
- Razor scraper
- Sponge
- Glass cooktop cleaning cream
- Paper towels

1
Turn off the burners, and let the glass cooktop cool before removing burnt-on foil. It can take up to an hour before the top is cool enough to touch.
-
2
Hold the razor scraper against the glass near the foil. Push the edge of the blade underneath the foil. Keep applying pressure against the foil until it is all scraped off. If the foil tears, clean off the blade and repeat the process until all the foil is removed.

3
Squirt some of the cream cleaner onto the cooktop. Wet a sponge in hot water, and clean the stovetop.

4
Rinse the sponge as often as necessary to remove all the cleaner and debris from the cooktop. Use a paper towel to dry and buff the glass surface to a shine.
