Fisher's Mom said:I keep a little plastic scraper with a razor blade set in next to my stove all the time and I'm embarassed to say, it gets a lot of use. I don't have a ceramic cook top but I sure burn a lot of things onto other things. I also keep Goo-Gone and Goof-Off in the kitchen. (I even keep extra floor tiles to replace the ones I manage to burn, although that hasn't happened in about a year. I take that as a sign my kitchen skills are improving!)
I laid commercial vinyl tiles in my kitchen so yeah, they do burn. Only the white ones show the burns - (next time all black instead of black and white checkerboard). Anyway, my old stove went all the way down to the floor and I seemed to have a lot of fires in the broiler. If I didn't notice it right away, the flames would burn the tiles around the stove. Then a friend told me that you're supposed to leave the broiler door cracked open while in use on old stoves. I don't know if that was it but when I redid my kitchen recently, I got a stove that is raised up on legs so there's a space between the bottom of the oven and the floor. I haven't had any fires yet, but then again, I've been afraid to use the broiler!keltin said:Floor tiles.....as in on the floor.....at your feet? As in hard rock or ceramic type tile? How did you manage to burn a floor tile? I didn’t know tile could be burned!
Or are you using the tiles as trivets or something?
