Glass top Stove

Hope someone can help me. My husband just bought me a new glass top stove, which I have been begging him for years to buy me one. I never knew how hard it would be to keep clean. My husband cooked breakfast the first morning and he put a pan on it that had grese and burnt on stuff on the bottom of it from our old stove. It left a really bad mark that looks like it is burnt into the glass. I tried to colean it off with the glass top cleaner but it did not work. Does anyone have any sugestions, please.

laminated glass

just had new doors and windows and building regs says it needs to be toughened glass. However the glass supplier says it is laminated only. Is this safe for french doors and ajoining windows etc? Also the supplier says that there is no stamp on the glass as it comes in big sheets and they cut it to size. Is this right? Thanks for your help. Am worried for my child's safety most of all.

glass analysis

I need to find a quick, easy, and cheap way to verify that the composition of the glass I am producing is in a definite range. I am producing glass in a lab scale facility so i really need an easy and fast method. I thought about using the color of the glass, or maybe its density, but I don't know how to correlate these data with the composition. Has any of you faced this problem and found an answer?Thanks a lot.
