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.
