Placing Heavy Pots and Pans on the Stovetop
Glass stovetops aren’t as durable as traditional gas stoves. Heavy pots and pans, especially those with rough or uneven bottoms, can cause cracks or shatter the surface. Stick to lightweight cookware to protect your stovetop.
Sliding Pots and Pans Across the Stovetop
Dragging pots and pans across the glass can lead to scratches and surface damage. Always lift cookware instead of sliding it, particularly when it’s full of food or liquid.
Leaving Spills and Stains
Spills left on the stovetop can bake onto the glass, causing both stains and potential damage. Clean up spills immediately to prevent them from becoming a permanent issue.
Cooking with Dirty Cookware
Using dirty cookware on your glass stovetop can transfer residue or grime, which may damage the surface. Always make sure your cookware is clean before placing it on the stovetop.
