We preferred gas cook stoves until we picked up a used glass top range to use while gutting and rehabbing our house. I liked it from the beginning because for starters, no well beneath burners having to be continuously cleaned and scoured etc. It also had the control knobs raised at the back of the surface and that eliminated the need to remove the knobs placed in the front which collect grease etc and which also require constant removal for cleaning. We used all of our old cookware, which included much loved and used cast iron skillets, because the surface was already pretty well scratched. We replaced all of the old appliances with stainless and black and got a beautiful black glass top range with knobs at the back. Replaced all the cookware, including spatulas etc. with Teflon and it all works beautifully together. No cast iron because it would scratch the surface and I would probably sooner than later drop a heavy piece and break the glass. Costly replacement. I love shopping for household stuff, so much new and improved to look at. I especially appreciate our now silent diswasher. Have fun when spending big bucks on your big and expensive kitchen appliances and knowing you are taking bread out of the mouths of hungry liberals.

Love that bit about the liberals.

This is the first time I’ve had a glass topped range and it has its advantages. The knobs are in the back on this and I do like that. It is quite easy to keep clean.

These types of cook stoves are very valuable when kitchen real estate is scarce.

It has a very respectable way to track a “hot” stove top. The little red dot stays on until safe to use the surface.

Right now, what with sauce plans and Cuisinart cook ware I’m thinking maybe I should think about what I’m cooking in before thinking about new stove.

It would be a pain to go gas on a new stove. I had gas for many years. I’m not particularly wed to it.
