Is the scratched induction cooking plate to be changed? With this method it is as good as new in no time.
Elegant, beautiful to look at in open spaces, shiny and certainly minimal. Induction hobs are increasingly present in homes. Although they are resistant to heat and shocks, it is not uncommon to run into some scratches, perhaps caused by food residues on the hob or pan which, when rubbed, leave an indelible mark. Yet it is not certain that these signs are truly indelible. Here are a couple of methods to try and remove scratches from an induction hob.
Induction hobs, how fragile are they?
In recent years, induction hobs have become increasingly popular in homes. These, running on electricity, allow less dispersion of energy used and therefore greater efficiency. Their glass-ceramic composition makes them very resistant to impacts, so much so that they are classified as unbreakable. This characteristic means that they are not subject to food encrustations, making them undoubtedly very easy to clean compared to the classic gas hob. Yet, despite being unbreakable, their surface is not safe from small scratches and marks that can be caused in daily use.
How to remove scratches from your induction hob

For surface scratches, it is possible to use a compound consisting of baking soda and warm water. Simply sprinkle the hob with baking soda, insisting on the area to be treated. Next, you need to pour a little warm water by mixing it with baking soda, until you create a paste. If the mixture becomes too liquid, add more baking soda to make it more pasty and leave it on for 15 to 30 minutes. After this time you can clean the hob of the mixture.
If the scratches do not disappear, there is a less homemade but certainly effective method.
