I had lost hope with my electric cooking plates. The white circles where completely hidden under a layer of diamond-grade burn residue that no amount of scrubbing with chemicals could even begin to remove. I found this 3€ scrapping tool and it's amazing !!! Sorry, but I don't have the before picture, believe me after 6 years of usage, it was bad.

I knew lye was dangerous but that sounds EXTREMELY dangerous.
linearchaos 3 points 3 years ago
Yeah that actually is another good point to it if you use it on aluminum it will erode the surface. If my quarter sheet pans get out of control I'll do it to them a couple of times and sand them back down before I recycle them.
TonyTonyChopper 5 points 3 years ago
yes, don't fuck around with corrosive chemicals. Strong acids or bases will destroy tissues with ease, especially if they're not protected by skin (which also gets dissolved but more slowly)
detalferous 8 points 3 years ago
Treat it with what? An oil to protect the surface?
linearchaos 13 points 3 years ago
A super thin layer of food safe oil. Apply it, Buff it back off as much as possible than wash the pan.
If it's cast iron you can just re-season it.
JungleJim 8 points 3 years ago
Is it? I just throw it in the oven on high for a bit. Sometimes if I'm lazy I'll just oil it and cook on high without seasoning. Just using it seasons it some. Even if the season is incomplete, just being oiled will prevent rust until next time and that seasoning builds up. Some people make a hobby of doing things the "right way" though, who am I to judge?
LemmyIsFantastic 4 points 3 years ago
No it's not. 5 minutes of active work and 5 hours in the oven.

linearchaos 8 points 3 years ago
The amount of oil on the surface that you need to stop rust is on the molecular level.
Do it, don't do it, whatever suits you, That's what I do and it works for me.
SuzyQ 7 points 3 years ago
Bar keepers Friend, for the equivalent oxalic acid/ddbsa cleaner in your area will remove dark carbon from most surfaces, especially when used with a magic eraser/melamine sponge
I had no idea! Thank you! I keep this to clean my ceramic cast iron sink but had no idea that I could use this on my glass top stove and the burnt bottom of my pans!
pete_the_cat 2 points 3 years ago
I used vinegar to get the rust off of a bunch of (Pogs) Slammers that had gotten wet in my parents basement. It worked reasonably well on most of them.
linearchaos 7 points 3 years ago
If we're not talking about food safe applications crc evaporust is absolutely magical. But it will leave the surface dark which you then would need to buff back off.
KnightontheSun 16 points 3 years ago
Let us reiterate that for the folks in the back: do not use evaporust on anything you consume food from.
piecat 2 points 3 years ago
Honest question, why?
The material safety data sheet really doesn't indicate toxicity. It's not a carcinogen or mutagen (even in California)
The marketing material on their website shows a cast iron pan
funkless_eck 2 points 3 years ago
thank you based pogchamp
LillyPip 1 point 3 years ago
Barkeeper’s Friend is a miracle, but people should know it’s incredibly abrasive and can debride enamelware. I ruined a pan’s outer finish because that didn’t occur to me, using it to get carbonisation off the bottom.
It’s brilliant for raw metal and glass cooktops, though. When I bought my house, the previous owners left a kit for the glass cooktop including the razor tool in your OP. I’m so grateful they did because I wouldn’t have known.

HerbalGamer 37 points 3 years ago
If you clean the top after every use, then it’ll never get bad enough to need this thing.

I_Fart_Glitter 4 points 3 years ago
I don't necessarily clean after every use, but I do clean before the next use. I don't turn the stove on if it's dirty, that will bake the mess in. I might dirty all four burners and then decide "can't cook, stoves dirty," until I'm up for wiping it down with a wet paper towel. I think of it as a dish, I might not clean it right away, but I'm certainly not going to eat off it again before cleaning it.
Anticorp 1 point 3 years ago
I've made beer a few times, but I'm super meticulous when I do it because I don't want all that money and time to go to waste because of mistakes or contamination. So I've never had any serious beer making accidents.
marx2k 2 points 3 years ago
I'm doing my first brew now. I underestimated the size of my brew pot and had a nice mess of LME burned onto the glass stove. That took forever to get out.
But hey, hopefully this oatmeal stout turns out well

True, but: I don't wanna.

Raxiel 7 points 3 years ago
Fair point, but this is one of those "if a jobs worth doing, it's worth doing badly" situations where just waving a towel at it still helps prevent stuff getting out of hand.
Of course this is easiest with induction because you don't need to wait for stuff to cool at all
crispy_kilt 2 points 3 years ago
But it's not for scraping paint. It's for cleaning the stovetop surface.

Schmeckinger 14 points 3 years ago
Depends on the hardness of the metal you would need a metal. These stoves are mostly aluminium oxide, which has a mohs hardness of 9 and steel is 4-8. I looked more into it and I found glass ceramic stoves have a mohs hardness of 6-7. So a very hard steel should be able to scratch it, but most steels including stainless should be fine.

Schmeckinger 3 points 3 years ago
I looked a bit more into it and the first spec I found had a knoop hardness of 600 which should be mohs 6-7 so hardened steel should be able to scratch it.
CodexArcanum 9 points 3 years ago
It can, yeah. You have to be careful to press gently in the center of the blade and not put pressure on the corners which will gouge huge scratches into glass. I have one of these for cleaning my paint pallette and get double-duty out of it on oven cleaning day.
They make cleaning kits for these stove tops that typically come with a cheaper plastic version of the tool with a weaker metal razor. Still does the job well, but less scratching chance. Also usually comes with a fine-grain polishing cream and sponges to apply it with. The cream helps to buff out lighter scratches and remove some of the cooked on stuff.
synapse1278 5 points 3 years ago
It doesn't scratch the glass, even when applying quite some force. The blade dulls pretty fast, it probably doesn't have the hardness to damage the glass.
sus 4 points 3 years ago
It's specifically called a [glass/ceramic] stove cleaning [blade/scraper]. I've used one a lot and it doesn't seem to do noticeable damage (glass stove tops need to be pretty tough anyways to handle regular cooking)
synapse1278 16 points 3 years ago
Yes, it's pretty much just that. It comes with spare blades in the handle, and they are double sided ! Very useful, because they dull pretty fast.
Fermiverse 5 points 3 years ago
It is!
einfach_orangensaft 20 points 3 years ago
nooooo its called "Ceranfeldkratzer"

Bloodwoodsrisen 19 points 3 years ago
When we had our electric oven I'd use a pastry cutter to scrape everything off
Note: pastry cutters may not look sharp but they are. Sliced my thumb open on one while putting dishes away and spent months regrowing my nail
Bloodwoodsrisen 4 points 3 years ago
Possibly, though sliding your thumb over the edge pretty fast at an angle seems to end up causing the slice anyway. I regret not taking pictures during the healing process :(

scrapping tool
I think scrapping wasn't what happened here.
SuperJetShoes 5 points 3 years ago
Probably what happened was that scraps were scraped off.
CmdrShepard 2 points 3 years ago
It seems like a scrappy little scraper.
LavaPlanet 4 points 3 years ago
Degreaser works quite well, too.
synapse1278 10 points 3 years ago
Oh, I tried that. It had negligible effects. I tried a bunch of different solutions, combination of chemicals, let soak overnight, etc.

This is the absolute proper tool for this job.
That said, everyone should know the different ways of cleaning the things.
Bar keepers Friend, for the equivalent oxalic acid/ddbsa cleaner in your area will remove dark carbon from most surfaces, especially when used with a magic eraser/melamine sponge
If you have a pot or a pan or something movable that is very burnt on, soaking it in an extremely dangerous solution of potassium hydroxide (lye) well absolutely remove all the organics. You just have to be sure to wear gloves and splash protection because it will blind you in a hot second.
Soaking rusty items in vinegar for a prolonged period of time will remove the rust, but you'll have to treat it pretty quickly to keep the rusr from coming back.
