How are you cleaning your glass top stove?
Comments (54)I have a Kitchenaid range with a white glass top. I have been religious about cleaning it after every use with either one of the cleaners made for it or using a razor blade and liquid Soft Scrub or, for stubborn stains, Barkeeper's Friend. In spite of this, in less than 2 years, both of the burners that I use the most have developed a slight brownish discoloration that will not come off. I have seen in previous posts that others have had this problem but have not been able to see where anyone has a solution. Is this something I just have to live with? This stove was expensive and I hate for it to look dirty when it isn't. I'm wishing now that I had just gotten one with a black top....See MoreCleaning stove tops and grates
Comments (4)I have cast iron grates (I don't know if you have the same). The manual says for removal of burned on food; place the grates in a covered container or plastic bag. Add 1/4 c ammonia and soak for 30 min. Wash, Rinse and Dry. Maybe this helps???...See MoreUse Viking stove or do induction w/ wall ovens?
Comments (5)Camilla, we are in your situation. In our latish 50's, still working long hours. And on work nights we like to cook fast and clean up fast. Nothing, IMHO, will beat induction for that. As much as I wanted an Aga range -- okay, for the looks, I admit -- we are going induction with a 30" basic Bosch cooktop, one 30" Electrolux wall oven, a convection microwave, and a mid-sized Breville oven which looks to be an amazing thing for two people. (My mom loaned us one for the remodel, and wow . . . just wow.) We are mounting the oven so that the door drops about mid-thigh, and if our small kitchen would have permitted it, we'd have followed the new trend of mounting the dishwasher up high, too, or gone with flanking dish drawers on either side of the sink to limit bending. Regarding ventilation, our appliance dealer (a very high end shop) told us with induction you need ventilation, but you need a lot less of it as you are venting only the smell and steam, not the heat. There is very little excess heat with the induction process. He recommended significantly less venting power to be mounted over induction vs. traditional gas or electric. Some here will disagree with that, but we are following his advice. But back to the range -- having had gas, but having often used induction while traveling, I already know I will never go back. Never, ever. If you are totally remodeling, I'd put the Viking on Craig's List and make life easy. Good luck!...See MoreWhat is the best way to clean the top of a gang stove.
Comments (3)We use a razor blade. I’m sure there are YouTube videos to explain what I mean. We have a glass too cleaner and let it sit on burnt marks. Then we scrap w the razor. But you have to be careful not to scratch the glass. I’m not a pro or anything so hopefully this is not bad info....See Moremarkw
