We finally got a smooth surface glass cooktop to replace a very dated, very baked-on, grungy cooktop. We love it, but had a panic attack the first time stuff got all over. I will admit I was VERY hesitant to use a scraper on the gorgeous smooth glass.... but it works! I still don't like to be the scraper for fear of damage, so this is one chore I let my husband handle exclusively... and oddly he didn't mind - probably because it's quick and I give him all the credit!
