Ceramic Hob

[boxtops]

I seem to have burned a bit of stuff (?Jam, bacon fat) on to the glass cover of my hob. New to these hobs and I don't want to damage the glass. Hob cleaner's not shifting it - what can I use to get off this dry baked bit?

[Peaspeculiars]

soak it with water for a while boxtops to soften it with a touch of washing up liquid to lift the grease and use your fingernail to scrape it so it won't damage it (it's what my parents do with their ceramic hob) Try not to use heat as it will make it worse

Washing-up liquid and a plastic scourer frequently dipped in water. Gentle pressure and and rapid rubbing from all directions.

With a glass hob only use things which won't scratch glass.

Get yourself a little hob cleaning gadget, like a razor blade in a metal holder, to scrape it off. It won't damage the hob, its designed for the job and my hob came with one. You can buy them on line for a couple of £s, I've just bought a new one.

lakeland do a hob scraper. I use it all the time and its never damaged my hob. I fold a piece kitchen roll over the burned bit and pour on boiling water from the kettle -this softens the burnt bits. When cool i scrape off the stuff with the scraper

A scraper came with ours, do you have one? Then I use Hob Brite with a non scratch pad

Leave a blob of Fairy Liquid and water on it overnight and try cleaning it again tomorrow.

Thank you to all of you. No scraper came with my hob, so I'll try to washing-up liquid for starters. Thanks for your help!

I always use Hob Brite, and use a non scratch scourer, works every time.
