Smooth Top Stove Update
#22
I like the smooth tops because I am prone to let pots boil over and this is a lot easier to clean. And I don't have to deal with those pesky "burner trays". I hated cleaning under those electric burners.

One suggestion I would give...if offered extra warranty beyond what comes with the unit, take it!!!! My top had a factory flaw, which you couldn't see, and it cracked for no apparent reason....about a week after the original warranty would have expired. Price of a new top? $350.00!!!! That was about 10 years ago, so likely a bit more now. :( It was replaced for no cost to me.

A company named Weiman makes a pink scrubbing pad and also a Glass Cook Top cleaner. I have also used Cerama Bryte and never had any trouble cleaning my stove top. Its 3 1/2 years old. They are available at your local Wal Mart!!

I fell in love with and bought a new set of pots and pans. When I was unpacking and washing them I stopped to read the package insert and found out I couldn't use them on my glass cooktop. It said if they got too hot they would fuse to the surface and there is no way to get them off. So now I check the labels before I buy to make sure they are compatible with my cooktop. Expensive lesson learned but not as expensive as replacing the stove.

Thanks to everyone!

My son and his wife bought a glass top stove and someone they knew put a plastic bowl on it to heat some chile! Needless to say the bowl melted and before it cooled down she poured water on it!! The top cracked and son didn't have a warantee. It cost them $400 to replace the top. That was about 5 years ago it think. However "most" people wouldn't be that dumb!!
