How to clean electric glasstop stove? Other tips?

[Anonymous]

We just moved and I'm having trouble adjusting to
this new stove. Any suggestions would help. Is the
pan supposed to cover the coils, or leave some
exposed.

Can I use baking soda to clean?

any tips would be greatly appreciated!

There are special cleaners you can buy at the grocery store but I always use bar keepers friend on ours.

I use Bar keeper's friend, too, or Comet when I run out.

The pan should not overhang the coils, otherwise it won't heat as fast or evenly. It's okay to leave some exposed.

Another tip: if you're trying to reduce something to a simmer quickly, move the entire pan off the burner for a short while to help it cool off. The glass top retains a lot of heat so finding the exact temp setting for a simmer can be a little difficult. You can also just move the pan to an entirely different burner that you've preset at a "simmer" temp.
