Help please, plastic melted on cooker

To get grease stains out of clothes, you put paper over them and iron with a hot iron, and the grease sticks to the paper. Wonder would the same thing happen to the plastic?0

my suggestion is this but you will have to be very careful
switch the hob on to medium then when its hot slowly pour coke over the burnt plastic and let it sizzle away then pour a bit more on
cant say ive ever had to do this but i have heard that the coke gradually gets the plastic off
good luck ( open a window as the burnt plastic could give off slightly toxic fumes )0 -
wow! ive never heard of the coke thing before! my ds will have a fit if he gets home and finds empty coke cans in the house! we never buy it cause it terrifies me, and if it gets the melted plastic off my hob, then i'll have been proved right, that it really is the devils liquid!You lied to me Edward. There IS a Swansea. And other places.....

god nothing! yesterday i tried star drops and scrubbing, and the coke thing... the only thing i can think to do, is just open all the windows and the back door (wide) and let it just burnt off itself. the smell of coke mixed with plastic yesterday was just about the worst thing ive ever smelt mind you.... !You lied to me Edward.

Sounds like you need one of those really thin blades for cleaning the insides of microwaves/ovens etc. I've only seen them in the kleeneze catalog though
