❌ Dropping heavy pots or utensils
Even small impacts can create weak points that lead to future breaks
❌ Placing cold items on a hot surface
Sudden temperature change = thermal shock (e.g., placing a frozen pan on a hot burner)
❌ Letting cookware boil dry
Extreme heat concentrates on one spot, weakening the glass
❌ Using abrasive cleaners or metal scrapers
Scratches weaken the surface over time
❌ Cooking with lids made of tempered glass
Rare, but some lids have been known to shatter due to heat stress

✅ How to Protect Your Glass Top Stove

Use onlyflat-bottomed cookware
Ensures even contact and heat distribution
Avoidcast iron with rough bases
These can scratch and trap heat — sand down nicks if using
Lift pots instead of sliding them
Prevents scratches and micro-fractures
Clean spills immediately
Sugary or salty residues can pit the surface when reheated
Turn off burners before removing pots
Reduces sudden cooling that stresses the glass
Inspect cookware regularly
Replace warped, dented, or damaged pans
