Everyone has experienced it: you’ve just cooked a delicious meal and suddenly there’s that stain on your induction hob. Maybe some water spilled or there are food residues left from your pan.
Don’t panic! This happens even to the best chefs. Stains on your hob? Totally normal. Whether your hob is brand new or has been around for a few years, sometimes those pots and pans just leave some marks. But no worries, there’s always a way to remove those stubborn stains and make your hob shine again.
Why you don’t need to worry
Stains on your hob usually come from grease, oil, or food residues that end up on the surface while cooking. And believe me, you’re definitely not the only one dealing with this. Even with a clean pan, grease splashes or water drops can remain. Oh, and those scratches on your brand new induction hob? No drama. After a while, they blend into the black surface and become less noticeable. So, take it easy, it’s all going to be fine.
With these tips, your hob will look like new again!
Let’s be honest: stains on your hob aren’t the end of the world, but they do need to go. Luckily, there are a few simple tricks to quickly tackle those stubborn stains and food residues:

Residue from the pan bottom

Sometimes you see a light residue on your induction hob, which is a common issue with induction cooking. This often happens due to friction from the pan bottom during cooking. When metal or dirt particles move between the pan and the glass surface, they can stick and form a stubborn layer. Don’t worry, this is easy to fix! Use a special hob cleaner, like the HG Hob Cleaner, to easily remove this residue. Stubborn spots can also be gently removed with baking soda.
