This trick will finally help you get rid of those rings on your induction hob
The horror: a pot of water boiling over. And no, not just because it splashes and makes scary noises. The real horror lies in those awful rings that appear on your induction hob as a result. Say goodbye to that gleaming, shiny, shiny cooktop of yours. Or maybe not?
We recently discovered a very interesting trick with a very promising solution: no more rings on your induction hob. Naturally, that makes our ears perk up.
The magic trick: lemon and baking soda
All you need is lemon and baking soda. So no expensive cleaning products or fancy tools. Here’s what you do: cut a lemon in half and dip one half in baking soda. The lemon half should be well covered with the baking soda. Then rub the burnt-on rings with the half lemon dipped in baking soda. Press firmly so that lemon juice is released and the area you’re treating gets thoroughly wet. At the end, squeeze the lemon completely over the ring.
You’ll see that the baking soda reacts with the lemon juice: it starts to foam a little. Let it work for about fifteen minutes. Then wipe the area with a dry microfiber cloth and a tea towel. Tada! The combination of baking soda and lemon juice ensures that the rings slowly disappear from your induction hob.

How to make sure your pot of water never boils over again
Now that your induction hob is ring-free, you naturally have just one goal in life: keeping it ring-free. And you do that by making sure your pot of boiling water doesn’t overflow again. Luckily, there are several tricks for that. For example, place a wooden spoon across the pot. The spoon makes the bubbles burst instead of allowing them to build up into a kind of boiling-over lava flow.
Also spotted (and written about): coat the rim of your pot with a thin layer of oil. Water and oil don’t mix, so that layer holds back the hot, rising water. In any case, no more nightmares about rings on your induction hob!
