"Baking soda and an unnamed liquid bubble on burnt glass before a wipe."

The science

  1. Bubbles do not identify the cleaner

    Baking soda bubbles with acid, but the clip does not identify its liquid. Fizz alone says nothing about whether burnt food is lifted, and an unknown liquid cannot be checked for cooktop compatibility.

  2. Paste and dwell do the work

    Whirlpool describes a baking-soda paste left on a cool glass cooktop, then removed with a nonabrasive pad. Stuck-on residue may need the maker's scraper or cooktop cleaner.

  3. Finish with a clean rinse

    Dry powder or leftover paste can streak; wipe residue away with a damp cloth and dry the surface before heating.

Do this instead

On a fully cool glass cooktop, use the manufacturer's cleaner and approved scraper for burnt deposits. A baking-soda-and-water paste is an option only if the cooktop manual allows it; use a nonabrasive pad and rinse.
