misconception about glass-top stoves.
They’re made to handle everyday cooking, so it’s tempting to assume they’re basically bulletproof.
They’re not.
A glass cooktop can withstand normal cooking temperatures, but impact damage is another story entirely.
Dropping a heavy pan onto the surface can chip or crack it. Sliding rough cookware across it can cause scratches. A damaged surface may then be more vulnerable to further stress.
And once glass-ceramic develops a significant crack, continuing to cook on it can be dangerous.
