Using dirty pots and pans when cooking can leave dirt and stains on the stove, which can harm its surface. Before using cookware on a glass stovetop, make sure it is clean.
Put a hot lid upside down on a glass stovetop.
Putting a hot lid upside down on a glass stove can be risky. A quick temperature change can make the glass cooktop break, leading to harm or damage.
Glass does not conduct heat well. When a hot object is placed on the glass, it can become strained and weakened. If you put the hot lid upside down on the glass stove, it might make the glass break due to a quick change in temperature.
To prevent this risk, always put hot covers on a surface that can handle heat, like a trivet or a countertop that can resist high temperatures. It's a good idea to wait a bit before putting the lid on a surface to avoid the risk of sudden temperature changes.
Not paying attention to small breaks or damages.
If you see a crack or chip on your glass stovetop, don't overlook it. Even tiny breaks or chips can appear over time and make the cooker break into pieces. Change the stove or get it fixed by a professional.
Heat up a pot or pan with nothing in it.
Do not put an empty pot or pan on a glass stove. This might make the pot or pan get too hot and harm the cooking appliance. Always ensure there is food or liquid in your pots and pans before putting them on the stove.
Not obeying the directions from the maker.
It is important to carefully read the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and caring for each glass cooktop, as they may vary. Not following these directions could cause harm or dangerous situations.
