The newer electric cooktops look great in the kitchen and are easy to cook on. However, it is important to properly care for them so that they will last and so that you can continue to cook food on them with ease.
Anytime you spill food on one of the burners, it is important to clean the burner before you cook again. If you do not do this, the spill will adhere to the burner and you may not be able to fully remove it. Each time you cook, you may have to contend with the burned food smell.
You can purchase a small, plastic scraper that is specially designed for electric cooktops. That way, if burned on food is tough to wipe off, you can gently scrape the food away.
Purchase a specially designed cleanser for your cooktop. While you will not need to use this each and every time you cook, it will help to remove food and it will help to keep your electric cooktop looking shiny.
Look at the manufacturer’s website or in your owner’s manual for specific instructions on how to care for your cooktop. If the manufacturer suggests a certain brand of cleanser, purchase that brand. Not properly caring for your cooktop could void the warranty so it is important to follow all manufacturer’s instructions regarding your appliance.
Always keep plastic and other items away from your cooktop. It can be tempting to place items on top of the stove when it is not in use but doing so could be disastrous if any items are left on the burner when it is turned on. In addition, items placed too close to the cooktop could catch fire and cause the entire kitchen to go up in flames so it is important to keep all items away from the surface.
Teach others in your household how to care for your electric cooktop. Only allow those who are willing to clean up after themselves to use the appliance. If everyone who uses your stove is on board, you can keep it looking nice and cooking well for years to come.
