What's the best way to clean ceramic stove top (with burned-on food)?

1) Sponge down with Dawn and hot water

2) lightly rub stubborn traces with 0000 grade steel wool

3) windex wipe

all done

Try bar keepers friend with Mr. Clean Magic eraser.

Try baking soda+ water= paste http://www.hometalk.com/diy/clean/ovens/how-to-clean-your-ceramic-stovetop-606415?expand_all_questions=1

i used Ceramabrite on my smooth top and it worked great. It usually comes with a razor wrapped in a plastic encasement that you can use to scrape off burned on food. Follow the directions and your smooth top will look great. Ceramabrite can be purchased at Lowe's.

I wet a washcloth and put a few drops of dish soap on it. Then I squeeze over the burned area and let it sit while I finish the rest of the kitchen cleanup. Then I use scraper that has a razor blade in it. Cleans up beautifully.

I use oven cleaner

I use Cook Top Cleaning Creme and it has kept my 16 year old stove looking like new. I bought it at Amazon. I've also used it on Formica when I couldn't remove a stain from rust. If there is a lot of build up I first use the razor to remove it.

I use baking soda made into a paste after as Sherrie said scraped with a SHARP razor blade. I usually use a windex product with the baking soda and rub it around with my fingers to cover the area, Let it sit a bit then wipe off and then finish off with the all surface windex and buff with micro cloth. I have a relatively new stove and I am very particular with it,
