Doesn't magically get rid of all risk but the fact that the stove itself doesn't heat up is great. If you haven't used one it is more efficient and the pan or whatever itself becomes the heating surface. All of them I know of even auto disable themselves if no metal is on it which is great for safety.

The pot or pan is the secondary in the circuit. They wont work without it on the stove top because there is nothing to induct the energy to. All the modern one switch off if there is no load in certain length of time.

If it is a glass top stove, a razor blade scraper does wonders

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 41 points 22 hours ago (4 children)

It is. I'll have to give that a try

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 3 points 8 hours ago

Maybe acteone and a scraper? May need a stronger solvent, depending on what burnt plastic becomes, but it may soften it up

[–] Redjard@reddthat.com 2 points 9 hours ago

Recently did this but using a sharp flat kitchen knife. Angle it almost horizontally and scrape it over the surface like it's a sharpening stone.

A plastic razor blade scraper may help keep you from scratching your stove top. They’re easy to find on Amazon and other online stores. I’m not sure about physical store availability though

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 40 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

You won't scratch your stovetop with a razor blade. The ceramic glass top is significantly higher up on the Mohs scale than the steel razor blade.

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

If GE/whatever company can be trusted it is. What isn’t though is the enamel paint that is on top of the glass that keeps the bottom of your pan from totally coming into contact with the glass.

You should really try a plastic scraper first.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 28 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

The manufacturer literally recommends you use a regular razor blade in the manual. This is from a GE manual, since you brought them up:

And so does the manufacturer of the most popular ceramic glass material used. A plastic scraper won't accomplish much, especially if the plastic it's made out of is softer than whatever is stuck to your cooking surface.

The markings are etched into the glass, not painted.

Thanks for posting this. Holding the blade at the correct angle and putting the correct pressure on it is key.

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Interesting. The manual from the GE cooktop I bought two years ago does not say this.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Just for grins, here's a manual for the oldest discontinued GE electric cooktop I could find on short notice. Note the publication date of 2017. Your card is on page 16:

This one is so crusty they're still referring to Cerama Bryte by name. One wonders exactly when that licensing deal fell through...

[–] celeste@kbin.earth 2 points 22 hours ago

Seconding the rec! I had a plastic melting incident last year and that fixed it right up.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Yeah they did. That's a perfect kitty right there.

Sorry about the stove, though.

Did you, though?

[–] sleepmode@lemmy.world 11 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Our stove is so easy to turn on. I bump into it and flip on the gas accidentally pretty often. My curly tailed dog has as well. I need to figure that out.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

is it a samsung? they sent me some clips to put on the knobs because it was easy for pets to turn on

[–] sleepmode@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I think it’s a GE. Pretty ancient. I’ll have to look for some of those.

[–] alpacapants@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Was about to say, they sell little silicone clips that fit on dang near any stove nob for child proofing. I've kept them on long after because of cats and how easy it is to bump aand accidentally turn it on. And unlike moat child proofing, not too much od a hassle to use. Got like 6 for under 10. Completely worth it.

[–] sleepmode@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

You rock. Thanks for saving me the research.

[–] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 22 hours ago

Good work Jelly. Maybe tomorrow you can achieve your dreams of being an outside cat.

Omg thank you

[–] kieron115@startrek.website 6 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Holy s, 30 bucks per knob though. I better be able to pass those down to my grandkids!

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

Oh wow, there are cheaper options, but they’re more annoying: https://www.acehardware.com/departments/hardware/safety-and-security/child-safety/5989181

(But less annoying than a burned down house)

[–] kieron115@startrek.website 4 points 16 hours ago

definitely less annoying than a burnt down house

[–] warm@kbin.earth 5 points 19 hours ago

This is at least the second time I have heard this, you could never accidentally turn mine on. Sounds like there's a lot of missing regulation in this space.
