Glass ceramic scraper - what is it?

A scraper is used to clean the glass ceramic plate, which consists of the following elements:

• A handle that is made of metal or durable plastic.
• Sharp blade made of stainless steel. There are two types - fixed or mobile, which can be advanced.
• The screw used when replacing the blade and for fixing.

Most often, the scraper is made of steel with removable blades. In addition, there are cheaper tools that are made of plastic, but such scrapers are less strong and durable. Many well-known manufacturers, such as Whirlpool and Electrolux, make their own scrapers and replaceable blocks for blunt blades.

Important! Scrapers with a plastic handle and a fixed blade have a much shorter period of use than tools with a steel holder and a movable blade.

Unsightly spots left by splashes of grease and water greatly affect the appearance of the electric stove. To remove them, you can use tools that are specifically designed for glass-ceramic surfaces. There are severe cases when you have to use drugs that are used to care for steel.
