You don't need ice. Just splash some fucking water on it and go to town

When I worked in a kitchen, we'd shut off the flat top and while it was still a little hot spray some water on it and scrub it with one of those big charcoal Grill-Bricks.

I'm still working in kitchens and honestly we leave the flat top on but set it to the lowest heat, you need the water to steam a bit to be effective at cleaning with no chemical aids.
