❌ The #1 Mistake: Using Warped or Damaged Cookware
Yes — a bent or uneven pan bottom is the most common reason glass stoves fail.
Here’s why:
🔍 How It Happens
When a pot or pan has a warped base, it doesn’t sit flat on the cooktop
Heat builds up under the raised edges, creating uneven thermal stress
Over time — or suddenly — the glass can crack from the pressure
Even worse? Some pans (like older cast iron or cheap stainless steel) expand when hot, worsening the gap between metal and glass.
💥 Result: A loud pop… then a cracked or shattered cooktop.
