What were you doing with a plastic lid on the boiling pot? Explain that first and maybe, just maybe, I can come up with a way to get the molten plastic off you surfaces!

You idiot!

I have about every solvent known to human kind, I just don't want to damage the surface(s).

I'll try a razor on the glass first so I don't wreck the burner outlines.

The counter may be a little trickier, it's formica. I do have a Teflon scraper, but I'm not sure that will get under it well enough. We'll see.

Now you know why I only use the Microwave now and I keep all children and pets far far away when I'm nuking..

I'm afraid to let you handle dangerous chemicals to get the plastic off now....just paint a rose with stems it and work around it.

Check this out - I love barkeepers friend - it's the only thing that keeps me from putting a hammer through this stupid new stovetop. "Easy to clean!" they told me. Lying snakes!

For the counter - it's worth a shot.

I claim no liability for any bad reactions, damage, fumes, etc. If anything bad happens, blame Cheryl.

Blame me! Remember, I am the one who lived through dogs washing dishes at your house. Remember, Greta, I have pictures!

Um, yeah - but none of them incriminate me! I'm not the one dancing in my jammies or sucking down the Chardonnay. I'm a good girl

I use Barkeeper;s friend too, and I too, hate my stove top. Why O' why??? Gimme that old gas hummer, that was cooking!

Thanks Gret, I'll check that one out. I think my belt sander might do the trick.


Oh, and du-uh, of course I'll blame Cheryl! It's her fault I had the candle blaze last night!

As usual I'm the odd one here

I LOVE my smooth cook top but I have never melted plastic on it. I save plastic melts for the pot and pans....(don't ask )

AMN ~ hook at small fire extingisher to yourself.....it might come in handy

Well, I recently read what to use, but do you think this brain of mine could come up with it. Glass cleaner was what eventually arrived front and center. So, then I googled and first answer was nail polish remover.

I've not tried either, but try on less obvious surface in case of damage appearing, have a towel for quick removal. I wish you lots of luck and please, be carefuler.
