Fill an empty spray bottle with white vinegar. Spray the vinegar directly onto the food stain.
Wait 25 minutes as the vinegar soaks into the burned food.
Sprinkle 1 tbsp. of baking soda over the stain.
Wet a cleaning sponge or cloth with vinegar and use it to scrub away the burned food. The vinegar should have dissolved the residue, and the baking soda provides a gentle abrasive that helps remove food particles without scratching the cook top.
Wipe the cook top with a clean cloth moistened with water.
Dry with a lint-free cloth. Polish with ceramic stove top polish if you want to add extra shine.
