9 Dangerous Glass Stovetop Habits You Should Never Do

By [Your Name], [Date]

Glass stovetops — sleek, modern, and easy to clean — have become a popular choice in kitchens around the world. But while they may look elegant, glass-ceramic cooktops are not invincible. In fact, the wrong habits can lead to scratches, cracks, or even fires.

If you own a glass stovetop (or are thinking of getting one), it’s important to know what NOT to do. Here are 9 dangerous glass stovetop habits you should never do — and why breaking them could save you from costly repairs or safety hazards.

🔥 1. Using Cast Iron Directly on the Surface

Cast iron pans are heavy and rough on the bottom. Using them on a glass stovetop can cause:

Scratches
Cracks from sudden impacts
Uneven heat transfer

👉 Tip: If you must use cast iron, lift instead of sliding, and consider using a heat diffuser.

💦 2. Letting Sugary Spills Sit Too Long

Boiled-over syrups, caramel, or fruit juices may look harmless, but when left on a hot glass surface, sugar can bond to the cooktop and cause permanent etching.

👉 Tip: Clean up sugary spills immediately after the stove cools with a soft cloth and cooktop cleaner.

🍳 3. Sliding Pots and Pans

Dragging cookware across your glass stove may seem harmless — until you notice deep scratches and scuff marks. Over time, these can weaken the surface or make cleaning harder.

👉 Tip: Always lift pots and pans off the surface instead of sliding.

🧽 4. Using Abrasive Cleaners or Steel Wool

Glass cooktops require a gentle touch. Harsh scrubbers or abrasive powders can destroy the glossy finish and leave permanent marks.

👉 Tip: Use a soft cloth, non-abrasive sponge, or a cleaner specifically made for glass cooktops.

❌ 5. Turning a Cold Glass Top Hot Too Quickly

Going from cold to high heat in seconds can cause thermal shock, which may lead to cracking — especially if there’s moisture trapped under the cookware.

👉 Tip: Gradually increase the heat setting, especially with delicate cookware or when using oil.
