How to Clean Burnt Oil From a Glass Top Stove

A fresh oil stain on your glass top stove is easily cleaned up. But if the oil is left on the surface and becomes burned on, you're left with a more difficult mess to clean. Burned oil becomes gooey and hardened on the glass surface. While abrasives can help remove the stain, they damage the glass by scratching it. You can successfully clean burnt oil off a glass top stove but must use cleaning supplies and techniques that are safe for the surface.
