How to Remove Burnt Food From a Glass Cooktop

Offering a modern and sleek design to your kitchen, glass cooktops can quickly become dirty and dingy. Food spilled during the cooking process will burn onto the glass. This burnt food can be a bit difficult to remove. Furthermore, if you use the wrong cleaning tools you can scratch and damage the glass cooktop. If possible, wipe spilled food immediately off the glass cooktop with a damp sponge to prevent the item from burning onto the stovetop.
