9 Dαngєrous Glass Stovetop Habits You Should Never Make
5. Cooking with dirty cookware
Cooking with dirty cookware can leave residue and grime on the stovetop, which can damage the surface. Always make sure that your cookware is clean before using it on a glass stovetop.
6. Placing a hot lid face down on a glass stovetop
Placing a hot lid face down on a glass stovetop can be a dangerous habit. The sudden change in temperature can cause the glass stovetop to crack or shatter, which can lead to serious injury or property damage.
This is because glass is a poor conductor of heat, so when a hot object is placed on it, the glass can become stressed and weaken. When the hot lid is placed face down on the glass stovetop, it can create a sudden and significant temperature change, which can 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 a countertop that can handle high temperatures. It is also a good idea to let the lid cool down for a few minutes before placing it on any surface to reduce the risk of thermal shock.
