Cleaning ceramic cooker hobs

[ShampooEfficient]

Hypothetically, if someone had been an utter moron, and managed* to melt a plastic bucket of wallpaper paste onto a ceramic hob, now it's cooled, what's the best thing to remove the residue and make it safe to use next time without gassing myself? I've managed to scrape the larger lumps off, but there's a few thin bits of veneer left on it, I'm loathe to just scrape it until I'm told there's no better way. Can I soak it in anything, or will that knacker the hob?

-* I may have turned it off at the wall last night, without turning all the rings off, then in the absence of space put the bucket atop the ring I'd been cooking pasta on.
Cooking bacon for breakfast, turned the cooker on at the wall grill on... thought the sizzling was a tad enthusiastic, looked up from the paper to see the bucket starting to become rather more liquid than I'd prefer...

Razor blade.


Now if it had been an induction hob, you could put a bucket of paste on it at full blast and absolutely nothing at all would have happened.



Actually you could get one for next time

Mmmmmmm, warm wallpaper paste. Brings back happy memories of student days.
Or was that porridge?

Induction hob is on the "nice future things for the house list". I'm too buy spending house money on cars instead... Ta muchly!

Not really a razor blade - more like a stanley knife blade. You can get a little plastic handle for them, looks a bit like this.

Or the cheaper version is the blade in a holder used to remove paint from glass
