Off glass? A metal scraper and some WD-40 should do the trick.

If there's a heater element in the glass, don't use a scraper - try a fingernail.

HTH :)

I second the Hairdryer idea, especially at this time of year when ambier temp is cold.

Also if you end up with glue residue then a plastic pan scourer is a good option, just watch areas around the glass (and the glass itsself maybe)

if its breaking up try sticking some gaffer tape over it and peel them off in one go.
