9. Turning on the Wrong Burner
Glass stovetops are often designed with multiple burners, and accidentally turning on the wrong one can overheat empty cookware or cause items on the stovetop to burn.
What to Do Instead:
Double-check burner controls before turning them on. Avoid using your stovetop as storage to prevent accidents.
How to Protect Your Glass Stovetop
- Use Protective Mats: Silicone mats or stovetop covers can shield your surface from scratches when not in use.
- Follow Manufacturer’s Instructions: Every stovetop has specific guidelines for care—read and follow them.
- Clean Regularly: Wipe down the stovetop after each use to prevent buildup.
By avoiding these dangerous habits and taking proper care of your glass stovetop, you’ll keep it looking pristine and functioning efficiently for years to come. Treat it with care, and your investment will continue to shine in your kitchen!
