How to Remove Burned Liquid Stains on a Ceramic Cooktop

If liquid boils over onto the hot burner, it will cause a stain due to the hot ceramic cooktop burning the liquid. Liquid stains are unpleasant and appear as areas of discoloration. While the stains may look impossible to remove, you can return the surface back to its original condition by treating the burned liquid as soon as possible.
