Your Glass Top Stove
Use only
flat-bottomed cookware
Ensures even contact and heat distribution
Avoid
cast iron with rough bases
These can scratch and trap heat — sand down nicks if using
Lift pots instead of sliding them
Prevents scratches and micro-fractures
Clean spills immediately
Sugary or salty residues can pit the surface when reheated
Turn off burners before removing pots
Reduces sudden cooling that stresses the glass
Inspect cookware regularly
Replace warped, dented, or damaged pans
💡 Pro Tip: Hold a dollar bill under the rim of your pot — if it spins freely, the base is warped.
🛠️ What to Do If Your Stove Cracks
If you hear a pop or see a crack:
Turn off all burners immediately
Don’t touch the surface — it could collapse at any moment
Ventilate the room — tiny glass particles may become airborne
Call a professional — do not attempt to repair or continue using a cracked cooktop
