I never had a glass cooktop. When we were remodeling the kitchen I looked at them. They are very pretty. But I love my cast-iron so that took priority :-) I ended up getting a Viking want to be, about half the price. Absolutely no bells and whistles, I don’t even get a timer! But I love it and it hasn’t broken yet. You can tell my expectations are fairly low :-)

Hey, I need that plate covering! Where did you get it? I’m always having to clean splatters out of the microwave. I try using paper plates but they don’t necessarily fit over everything and they also get dislodged.

Oh, I can’t remember having seen a plastic butter dish in a while. I just take mine straight from the fridge, guests have to deal with the wrapping and everything :-)

Plate covering, micro safe, purchased in housewares at local WalMart...as was the silicon piece for the two corning ware pots. Cheap cheap, but it does work well and saves a lot of clean up effort. But WAIT! it’s not been broken ..yet. (knock on wood).

These have not been seen again. Just lucky the one was found on the day I was searching. Held up very well, clean with a little soap and water, dry and ready for use again.

Class cooktop - if I had only known. One question never asked and knew no better. Very disappointed in this one. Oven element had to be replaced, first the lower, then the upper. Being black, not as easy to clean as anticipated. Believe, me - never again. But, we learn and we become wiser, hopefully.

There are several shops in my area all run by orientals that sell things for a dollar or two ('China-Marts').

Most of them have the microwave splatter cover for a dollar.

It looks something like the top of a Tupperware cake carrier and is usually available in several sizes.

Ours is 10" and we use it to cover all different size plates, bowls, etc.

You can buy them on line if you don't have a China-Mart store near you but of course they generally cost more.

I just checked e-Bay and see quite a few there.

Also - Just found this one at Target on-line for $1.79 (free ship with $25.00 purchase)
