I have a Dacor black cook top and clean up is a breeze remove the grates and lift off the burner caps I wipe the spilled food and grease off with my wet dish cloth and it looks just like your picture. Next is the magic... I wet a microfiber cloth with water and go over the top again. Then I take a dry microfiber cloth over it again and it shines like it is in the show room. That is it I use Norwex cloths but any soft microfiber cloth will do. The reason I use the dish cloth first is to avoid gunking up my microfiber cloth on big messes and having to wash it frequently, you see Microfiber cloths need to laundered on their own or with other items that do not produce lint and I hate to run the washer for one or two cloths. Happy cleaning

We have the GE 30" Profile, with the ss frame. Purchased in summer 2008. At the time, the specs were exactly the same between the profile and the monogram, and the profile was a few hundred less (via the induction site). We did think the stainless/mirrored monogram looked really cool, but the black controls on it were funny looking, so decided to stick to all black. Got the framed version because we were worried about cracking an exposed glass corner without it. Performance is excellent. The large burder is quite large and very powerful. Overall, great control, great power and a good price. Cleaning up is easy and no noticeable scratches or other issues after 9 months. Only small quibbles--it does hum (not enough to bother us, but usually it is noticeable), more so with some cookware than others. Wish the larger burner were centered so as to provide better capture of smoke when stir-frying (we have it in a peninsula). Clearance requirements underneath are high--meant we used pullout shelves instead of more efficient drawers under it. On balance, happy and would recommend.

Darbuka - I had already responded to Vjulia's previous post that had the same question. In that post I provided her the Appliances Forum link, and I also did a search for her of threads for her to read, and I provided a link for her for that as well. Then when she posted a new post, I provided the link to my other answer to her post (which you will see above). It is frustrating that Vjulia did not look at her previous post with the links I provided, nor did she bother to click on the link I provided above. Vjulia - I DID link to the Appliances Forum on my other response to your other post which I also linked above. On that post I also provided results for you of a search for relevant posts for you to read. Can you click on my link above? Above, where it says "Vjulia's previous post".

I have the GE Cafe and use Magic Glass Cooktop cleaner when this happens. I am also fastidious about cleaning but sometimes grease gets on the bottom of a hot pan and it looks like yours. The cooktop cleaner takes it right off.
