I messed up. I have a smooth-top stove and set a plastic measuring cup on one of the burners while it was still hot. Some of the plastic melted onto the burner and has hardened now that the burner is cooled. Is there any way to get the hardened plastic off? Or is it now a permanent part of my stove? I'm afraid to use that burner in case the plastic melts again. Any ideas or suggestions?

Hmmm... if you have a plastic scraper, you might try having a go at the melted bits. Otherwise, you might have to turn the burner on briefly to soften the burned plastic for removal. But that's just a guess.
If your stove is one of the glasstop ones, you can heat it just slightly -- don't even let it turn red. Then quickly use something sharp (That will still give your hand some distance -- a meat cleaver comes to mind! But then I may just be in a murderous mood. LOL) and scrap it off. Okay, a sturdy metal spatula??
found this: Good Luck!!
For other burned-on messes, such as hot grease, plastic wrap, or an item accidentally melted on a hot unit: Cool unit until fingers won't be burned; use plastic or nylon pad not treated with any cleaner, and special smooth top cleaner to remove as much of the spill as possible. If still some burned material sticks, use a single-edge razor blade as for sugar syrup. Let only the flat edge of the blade touch the surface to prevent scratching it.
I did that while frosting a cake once. Had to cut the whole bottom off the cake...
I have one of those glass top stoves also. I was given a razor blade scraper and told to scrape anything off before using the white paste cleaner that also came with it. I use it almost daily and I've never scratched the top since the blade is flat. Works great. Anything that doesn't scrape off comes off with the cleaner.
