Cooking on a ceramic hob or an induction hob is very pleasant. The cooking temperature settings are extremely precise and flexible. Many homes have therefore failed even if these plates are sometimes more expensive! On the other hand, it is a fragile surface that must be protected from scratches. As a result, cleaning a ceramic or induction hob in kitchens that are equipped with one is not always easy. It is then difficult to know how to remove oil splashes, over-boiled milk from the pans and burnt food stains. Here are our grandmother’s tips for cleaning and shining your hob safely and without damaging it! Whatever the type of hob (induction cooktops or ceramic hobs), you will inevitably find an effective solution to have an impeccable cooker.
Pay attention to the residual heat after glass-ceramic cooking! You could risk a burn. Wait until it no longer heats up to clean the plate.
