I had lost hope with my electric cooking plates. The white circles where completely hidden under a layer of diamond-grade burn residue that no amount of scrubbing with chemicals could even begin to remove. I found this 3€ scrapping tool and it’s amazing !!! Sorry, but I don’t have the before picture, believe me after 6 years of usage, it was bad.

    If you clean the top after every use, then it’ll never get bad enough to need this thing. Just an FYI, if you’d rather not stare at encrusted burn residue for another 6 years.

          I don’t necessarily clean after every use, but I do clean before the next use. I don’t turn the stove on if it’s dirty, that will bake the mess in. I might dirty all four burners and then decide “can’t cook, stoves dirty,” until I’m up for wiping it down with a wet paper towel. I think of it as a dish, I might not clean it right away, but I’m certainly not going to eat off it again before cleaning it.

            Plus it’ll burn and stink, instead of smelling your good home cooking.

        I’ve made beer a few times, but I’m super meticulous when I do it because I don’t want all that money and time to go to waste because of mistakes or contamination. So I’ve never had any serious beer making accidents.

          I’m doing my first brew now. I underestimated the size of my brew pot and had a nice mess of LME burned onto the glass stove. That took forever to get out.

          But hey, hopefully this oatmeal stout turns out well

        They should make tiny stovetop Roombas that look like the robots from Batteries Not Included

        Fair point, but this is one of those “if a jobs worth doing, it’s worth doing badly” situations where just waving a towel at it still helps prevent stuff getting out of hand.

        Of course this is easiest with induction because you don’t need to wait for stuff to cool at all
