I have a regular gas stove top - white enamel (?) base and the plate I use most always has a brown stain all around white from pots overflowing etc.I resisted using Jiff for ages, but in the end I needed to, but of course that leaves scratch marks that are now ingrained with brown.Help??

Use a bigger pot that does not overflow?

you will find it easier to remove while it still hot/warm!

Buy pots with good vented lids and they wont boil over. I had this same problem but on a ceramic top and was fed up with cleaning every day .Dont have a problem now with new pots from Farmers.

Its unlikely to be enamel if Jif sratched it enough to leave brown marks I would have thought! Unless you used a steel wool or similar. Mine is a stainless steel surface and I just use a normal household cleaner although I have had to resort to jif around the biggest gas ring where it gets really hot sometimes on the surface if using my biggest pot (its massive 15L I think). Not able to help sorry if scratched you may have to live with it.

Is it enamel, or more of a porcelain top? ingrained scratches maybe hard to move have you tried rubbing along the scratch with some baking soda made up to a paste and soft cloth nothing to harsh then wipe over with a hot clean soapy cloth, to get brown off. As someone else said invest in good heavy based pot with lid that has a steam vent hole in it.One element on mine gets a hammering always had to clean it while warm now its great with new big pot, no spills at all.
