I have tried scraping and propriety cleaners such as Hob Bright, Mr Muscle etc, but nothing seems to shift it. It looks almost as if it has fused on the surface. Does anyone have any ideas?

I know this may sound too easy but just place a wet cloth on the spot and leave overnight, in the morning gently rub it with "bartenders friend" a gentle scouring powder or something similar and I'm sure this will remove it.

The thing is that the sugar turns to glass and sticks to the ceramic hob. You need to try and melt the jam away from the hob (but it probably will leave a mark) One of those steam cleaners with the tiny nozzle is about the hottest water you could use. If you haven't go one try boiling water. You need a sustained head to melt the sugar. I made marmalade yesterday and I use the steam cleaner for the splashes.

Sugar is the main enemy of ceramic hobs.
Nothing you can buy will shift it. It will have fused itself to the ceramic surface. Scouring or scraping it will just make things worse.
My only suggestion would be to call in one of those cooker cleaning companies who might be able to help. You can find them in Yellow Pages. The only one I can think of is Cookerburra which is a franchise but I have used them once and found them to be fine.
Good luck.

hi i know exactly what you are going through.you say its ceramic glass i have tried it a couple f times but i don't know exactly how badly it has been burnt.soak the hob in a container with loads of lemon juice mixed with sea salt and water.see to it that the water is nice and hot.hot water along with the citric acid and sea salt will help break the hardness leaving the burn loose and easy to wash off.let it soak for about 20 minutes app/ and then wash it off with liquid detergent like easy bam or something.

The only thing I can think of is to simply allow it to soak for a LONG period of time. It sounds as though the sugar in the jam has caramelized, and chances are good that it will simply take a long period of soaking, preferably in HOT water, to get it off. If it's boilable, you might try that as well.

Washing powder. Sprinkle some on leave for an hour or so, then wipe off using hot water. Try it. It works.

Boiling water.
Boil up the kettle and just pour it all over the place. Don't be stingy with the water. If it doesn't melt it it will lift it right off.

Simple, boiling water. it dissolves the sugar as it does when you make a cuppa. i know this coz when i was a kid me n my 2 brothers tried making somthing similar n we dropped it onto our kitchen floor which was ceramic. we covered it with paint n hoped mum wouldnt know. she did n she just used boiling water then cleaned as normal.

Have you tried heating it to try and melt it again then wiping it off whilst its runny?
