Hot sugar caramelizes at a temperature of 200°C. When it cools off, the sticky caramel contracts. This is not the case with glass-ceramic which, due to its special composition, neither contracts nor expands. Removing the cooled caramel can leave very small surface defects, so-called “sugar chipping,” on the cooktop. Handled properly, sugar should not pose a problem to the CERAN® cooktop. The sugar should be removed directly with a cleaning scraper.
