How to wash the glass-ceramic stove from soot at home?

Thousands of housewives are affected daily by the cleaning of a glass-ceramic stove. Such attributes for cooking have a rather compact appearance, therefore they succinctly complement the modern kitchen, which deserves wide recognition. In addition to ease of use, the plates are easy to clean and wash the surface, because when cleaning you do not need to remove the metal grill and wash the space under the hob.

But for a simple and effective cleaning of the surface of the plate, it is necessary to take into account a number of nuances that help wash away the burnt coating from food and liquid. In addition, there are simple rules, the observance of which will keep the stove clean and tidy.

If the glass-ceramic stove was recently purchased, or the purchase is only planned, then the buyer should understand the importance of caring for the device so that it serves it as long as possible. After all, the sensitive surface of the plate is regularly subjected to stress, so care should be taken to properly care for it.

The clean, glossy surface of glass ceramics is often observed only in advertising images, or on the storefront. But even there (with a close inspection) you can see traces of hands. The glass easily remains contaminated from contact with any substances, not to mention the splashes of butter and milk, the appearance of which is inevitable when cooking. Because of this preferably after each cooking wipe the surface from traces of food to avoid soot.

The liquid is ground with a dry, clean cloth. A rag or sponge for the slab should be separate - you should not use the one that previously washed the mirrors and other surfaces.

In general, the care of ceramics is quite simple, but for this you need to fulfill a number of requirements:

• So as not to have to suffer with a burnt bloom, it is necessary to remove the dirt immediately after its detection. After all, it is much easier to erase fresh stains and not allow them to stick to the surface; therefore, it is best to wipe the panel immediately before cooking so that the heated plate is clean and dry.

• When cleaning, you need to comply with safety measures and do not rush to wipe hot burners. So that the user does not burn his fingers, modern devices are equipped with a heating indicator, signaling the temperature of the heater. It is necessary to clean only cooled glass, because contact with a hot surface is dangerous not only for the skin, but also for the plate itself, which can be damaged.
• To wash a cooled panel, you need to moisten a sponge or a rag made of soft cloth in water, and then drip a little detergent to form foam. It should be applied to the glass and grind, carefully washing away stains. Then it remains only to wash off the foam and walk on the surface with a dry sponge or other material that leaves no villi. In the case when the remnants of food still dried, you will have to leave the applied foam for half an hour, after which the traces will be easier to wash off.

A plate of glass-ceramic is much more demanding to use than ordinary enameled, because its operation is mandatory following requirements:

• Before cooking, be sure to remove any stains from the surface of the glass, otherwise they will burn and it will be difficult to clean.

• The use of stainless steel sponges and scouring powders is unacceptable, because they damage the gloss, leaving visible marks on it.
• Do not delay with washing the stove. Preventive regular cleaning will ensure proper operation of the device for a long time.
• Carefully with plastic elements of ware: handles of frying pans, pans, covers. When they come into contact with heated glass-ceramics, they quickly melt and stick to the slab tightly, and it is much more difficult to remove such stains than others because they harden when cooled.
• The bottom of the dish should be smooth and smooth, otherwise it will damage the panel. No need to move utensils on the hob - it can scratch it. It is better to raise the pan if you need to move it to another burner or move it to the side.
• The stove does not tolerate aluminum dishes, because of this it is necessary to forget about frying potatoes in your favorite pan.

Tap water can leave visible stains and stains after washing. The diameter of the bottom of the dish should correspond to the size of the cooking hob, otherwise splashes of oil can get on the hot ceramics and immediately burn.

Strong enamelled cookers have always been cleaned with coarse powders, which gave a positive effect, but in this case you will have to forget about such methods. Here you need to equip with a special kit for the care of glass-ceramics, which includes:

• Pasty cleaning products for ceramics, which are sold in any store of household chemicals. They do not contain coarse particles and gently care for smooth surfaces.
• The special scraper with a set of removable blades is a unique tool designed specifically for such plates.

• Sponge designed exclusively for this device.
• Means for washing windows and mirrors.
• Special equipment for glass ceramics maintenance.

Regular vegetable oil applied to the glass after washing will create a special oily film that repels water and dirt and protects the stove from adhering stains. Great for rare cooking. The main thing is to thoroughly wash the surface before cooking.

Household chemicals for washing dishes and tiles can properly take care of sensitive gloss. It is important that the composition of the cleaner included only "soft" components that do not contain aggressive substances.

In addition to the film, this fluid has a softening effect, so it is often used to remove dried spots. It is only necessary to put a cloth or a sponge dipped in oil on the stain and leave it for half an hour. The dirt will soften and it will be easier to clean. After that, you need to wash the ceramics with detergent and polish.

The usual table vinegar solution, rarely used in the kitchen, has disinfectant properties, killing microorganisms. In addition, it is well degreased surface. Spray the liquid over the panel and leave for 30 minutes and then just wash it off with clean water.

Perfectly degreases ceramics, removing stains from "runaway" milk and traces of chlorinated water. After using it, the stove will acquire a beautiful glossy shine. It is only necessary to dilute the alcohol in pure water 1: 5 and spray it on the glass. After 10 minutes you can safely wash off.

Glass ceramics, like any durable material, is unstable to point shocks. If you drop a knife or a hammer on it, the panel will be covered with a thick web of cracks. In practice, this rarely happens, but it’s not worth excluding such a possibility.

You should not put cold dishes on a hot ring. Also avoid splashing water and oil on a hot surface. From frequent changes in temperature, the thermal conductivity of glass ceramics decreases, and the device becomes unusable. Because of this, it is better to place cold utensils not on a hot panel, but to heat it gradually.

Dirty rags with impurities of food, fat and detergents for cleaning are prohibited. Such a fabric does not benefit, but only harms. It is advisable to regularly change the cloth and sponges that do not leave the villi on the surface. Then the stove will last much longer.

Glass-ceramic plates take up much less space in the kitchen than enameled ones, and their use is more economical, because users of such devices talk about low power consumption of heating elements. But such an economical use is possible only with appropriate care for such an important element of life.

Despite the high cost and whimsical in operation, such plates last much longer than their gas counterparts, and they more harmoniously fit into the design of a modern kitchen. It is not that difficult to clean the touchscreen ceramic cooker at home. The glass model can be scrubbed by using, for example, foil and other folk methods.
