The Surprising Mistake That Ruined My Glass Stovetop

Glass top stoves are a cook’s delight, with their elegant design and smooth, wipe-clean surface, but I learned they’re not as sturdy as they seem. One careless moment in the kitchen left my stovetop cracked and taught me a lesson I’ll never forget. I’m sharing my story to help you avoid a mistake that could ruin your stove and create a safety scare.

While cooking dinner one night, I removed a hot lid from a pot and set it face down on my glass stovetop to free up space. Minutes later, a loud pop startled me, and my heart sank. Cracks had spread across my beautiful stovetop, all from a habit I didn’t know was dangerous. That moment turned a cozy cooking session into a costly nightmare.
