Hello all.
We had a slight mishap in the kitchen last night when during drunken NYE festivities, a bit of foil was left on our electrical hob and melted to it. It's proving an absolute git to get off. We're worried that using a scourer will scratch the glass, but have no real idea about what to do. Would reheating it make it easier to remove?
Any suggestions welcome before the landlord kills us...

Cheers.

A proper old school razor blade will get that off, dead cheap from tesco, boots etc

You can buy a proper scraper tool for ceramic hobs but a razorblade does the job.

Absolutely. Most manufacturers supply one of these with the hob. I give ours the once over every few weeks.

Sadly, it was merely shisha...
