How to Clean Your Cooktop

Glass cooktops,  you either love them or hate them. So here’s my secret  to keep them sparkling clean Bar keepers friend.

Here’s the routine:

1.  Clean off any buildup of gunk with a damp rag or sponge.  If there’s any stubborn spots I let the damp cloth rest on it for a few minutes and then it usually wipes off fairly easily.

2.  Rinse out the cloth/sponge/rag until it’s clean.  Then dampen the entire surface of the cooktop.

3.  While the surface is still damp, lightly sprinkle the bar keepers friend over the entire cooktop.

4.  Use a damp sponge (I use one that has a scrubber on one side) and work in circles, concentrating on any areas that have cooked-on or burned-on food.  You might have to use some elbow grease on the tougher areas, but with a little work it should come clean.

5.  Rinse out your sponge and wipe the surface clean.

6.  Buff or wipe the surface dry with a smooth cloth.  I have one particular dish towel that I use for this that doesn’t leave any streaks.  It’s not a terry cloth type towel, but is a smoother, tighter weave.

7.  That’s it.  You’re done.  Enjoy it while it lasts!
