9 Dangerous Glass Stovetop Habits You Should Never Do
Glass stovetops are sleek, modern, and easy to clean—but they’re also delicate and require proper care.
Many people unknowingly adopt habits that can scratch, crack, or permanently damage their stovetop.
Here are nine dangerous habits you should avoid to keep your glass stovetop looking new and functioning safely.
1. Using Abrasive Cleaning Tools
Steel wool, scouring pads, and harsh abrasive sponges can create tiny scratches on the surface. Over time, these scratches weaken the glass and make it more likely to crack.
Always use soft cloths or stovetop-safe scrapers.
2. Sliding Heavy Pots and Pans
Dragging cookware across the glass can cause deep scratches and stress fractures.
Lift pots and pans instead of sliding them, especially cast iron or stainless steel cookware.
