9 Dangerous Glass Stovetop Habits You Should Never Do

Indeed, glass is a poor conductor of heat. So when a hot object is placed on it, the glass can be stressed and weakened. When the hot lid is placed face down on the glass cooker, it can create a sudden and significant temperature change, which could cause the glass to break.

To avoid this danger, it is important to always place hot lids on a heat-resistant surface, such as a trivet or countertop that can withstand high temperatures. It’s also a good idea to let the lid cool for a few minutes before placing it on any surface to reduce the risk of thermal shock.

7. Ignoring Cracks or Chips

If you notice a crack or chip on your glass cooktop, don’t ignore it. Even small cracks or chips can develop over time and cause the cooker to shatter. Replace the range immediately or have it repaired by a professional.
