I use what is recommended ( glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner ) after each use, never had any problems keeping it clean. Going on 10 years.

AARP plastic card I get in the junk mail. When it is really stubborn, I grab a regular razor blade. I use the plastic to scrape counter tops, floors, etc, so it is always close at hand. Like a couple of others, I have no qualms about using the steel razor blade on the glass stove top. It is just not already close by when I need it.
I tried not believing. That did not work, so now I just believe

The kit came with a scrubbing sponge and a plastic “razor blade”. I agree, use the manufacturer’s recommendation. Most times just a damp rag is required on an induction top, which does not fet as hot as a conventional top. It only gets its heads by transference from the pot or pan.

we have a cook top cleaner that is essentially a razor blade in a plastic handle. I haven't had issues with it scratching the cook top

Thanks everyone! I always thought a razor blade was taboo for the surface. it did the trick and with relative easy work.

Use it with some soapy water so the stuff you're scraping off will float off the surface. Depending on how long it cooked, the burnt stuff might be harder than the glass.

Easy-Off HEAVY DUTY Oven Cleaner [yellow top!]
Let it "cook" for awhile and then attack it with a single-edge blade.

Or or fold a bath towel to the size of the cook top and saturate it with water and leave it overnight.
Or put some mayonnaise on the spots and leave it overnight and wipe off. Mayo is about 90% oil and does not flow. The oil will soften most baked on stuff.
Both of the above are very safe to use for the operator and the equipment.
