How to Clean a Halogen Cooktop

A halogen cooktop uses glass to heat up your food rather than the traditional method of metal burners, which use gas. The glass cooktop's surface is sturdy enough for heavy pots and pans but is also prone to scratching if you drag cookware against its surface. The surface is also susceptible to damage if you use abrasive cleaning tools or liquids to remove food stains, as the glass surface easily shows scuffs, scratches and cracks over time without careful cleaning.

  Reapply the cleaning cream as you scrape to prevent accidental scratches to the cooktop's surface.
