New cooktop? Don’t cook on it until you read this 👇

Cooktops almost never crack from drops. They crack from two things you probably do every day without thinking: thermal shock and abrasive cleaning.

Here’s how to avoid both:

1. Skip the steel wool, scouring pads and powder cleaners — they leave micro-scratches that turn into cracks.
2. Let the surface cool down before you wipe it. A cold cloth on hot glass is exactly the shock that splits it.
3. Get a proper glass cooktop scraper (under $10) and hold it at a 45° angle.
4. Wipe spills while the glass is still warm — not scorching, not stone cold.

A cracked cooktop runs $400–$800 to replace. A scraper is $10. You do the math.
