If you're thinking about upgrading your ceramic cooktop and don't know where to start, let us guide you through the process.

If you're thinking about renewing your ceramic cooktop and don't know where to start, let us guide you through the process.

There is a wide variety of options, although the main types of ceramic cooktops include induction ceramic cooktops, radiant ceramic cooktops, and gas ceramic cooktops, offering a wide range of choices to suit the needs of each user.

Discover them in detail below.

What is a Ceramic Glass Cooktop?

A ceramic cooktop is simply an appliance designed to perform cooking functions using electricity or gas, depending on the model, with the sole purpose of preparing our daily meals. By using this energy source, we will have a clean environment, without strong odors, and it will also be a simpler use.

What Types of Glass-Ceramics Exist?

You might think that there is only one type of ceramic glass, but we, as industry experts, know that there are quite a few more. That is why we present them to you below so that you can choose the right one in each case.

Gas Ceramic Cooktop

If we choose to install this option in our kitchen, gas vitroceramics is an excellent choice for cooking enthusiasts, as it allows for maintaining an authentic flavor as well as cooking times that are more aligned with high cuisine. You should keep in mind that gas vitroceramics will be useful if you have a prepared installation, as otherwise, you will spend a fortune to set everything up.

Induction Cooktop

One of the most popular options in the Spanish market for years has been induction cooktops, which operate on electricity and are capable of reaching high temperatures to allow us to cook any recipe we desire.

At GroupSumi, we have a wide selection of brands for you to buy the ideal induction cooktop.

Advantages of ceramic glass

  • We will save space in the kitchen since it is a modern system.

  • It heats progressively, allowing for a gradual boil while preserving the freshness of the food.

  • It is an economical option, cheaper than its rivals and with greater savings on supply.

  • Greater ease of cleaning, since, without gaps or slots, we only need to wipe it down with a cloth for total cleaning.

  • It allows for programming the shutdown time, so it will turn off according to our settings when finished.

How to clean the Ceramic Glass

In order to have a kitchen that is always clean, it is essential to have a cleaning set for the ceramic cooktop, so that we can extend its lifespan while maintaining an unprecedented shine.

First step: Surface cleaning

If we have just experienced our "chef moment," we should let the ceramic cooktop cool down and then proceed to clean it with a cloth and warm water. This way, we will take the first step towards a thorough cleaning.

Second step: Use a scraper

It may seem like a reckless move, but using a scraper to remove dirt that is stuck to the surface and cannot be removed with a cloth should be done with utmost care.

With an approximate angle of 30º, we should make superficial passes to avoid scratching the plate or damaging it. This step should be sufficient to get it ready; if not, we recommend going back to the first step.

Third step: Time to polish

With all the work practically done, we should use polishing products available for any food surface.

Although here we leave you a trick so you can do it with products you will find in your kitchen:

We should mix vinegar with water while using a dry cloth and dampening it in the created solution. Once we have it ready, we should make several passes over the ceramic cooktop to leave it well soaked so that the small scratches we have, as well as the wear, can close up.
