    Marcia check out the Maytag glass top stoves. Easy to clean and no grease can get into your burners. The glass stays cool, the burners of course glow red. And the oven door doesn't heat up either, a real blessing in the summer. I think mine was about $400 at Best Buy. Lowe's and Home Depot also had good prices. Good luck and I'll be there for dinner Sunday

    Nana we must have been posting at the same time...lol.
    My oven door doesn't get hot and my burners glow red when on, when they are truned off and they are still hot but there is a light letting you know the surface is hot.

    Being born and raised in MI on gas, moving south was difficult to find everything electric. Very few places had gas. Finally got used to electric and now love it. I too am leary of gas now.

    Me too. I wouldn't have known to purchase the flat glass top electric model, but it was brand new in the house, when we bought it.

    I love it! Easy to clean.

    Glad you like your new stove. It has been so long since I have used gas I would probably burn everything. But I know when I had it many many years ago I did like it. But your right if you loose power they still work. That is the bad thing about electric.

    I have used both, and I DETEST Electric stoves. I always burn things when I cook on them. I would much rather have a gas stove. the stove we have now is gas. I like the cool to the touch oven door. I dont have to worry about Chloe burning herself. I dont know how many times when I was younger I would burn myself on the oven door while I was cooking on top of the stove and had the oven going too.

    Angie,
    What are you doing that I am not? Mine is horrible to clean after like say, something boils over. I use the "special" cleaning stuff and its still horrible to clean. Makes me want to use a brillo pad.

    Re: Electric or Gas???

    YankeeMary, I have a glass top and mine isn't so bad to clean. I use the Cerama Bryte to clean it with and the book that came with mine said to use the Scotch Brite Multi purpose no scratch scrub sponges on it to clean it with. The are a blue sponge on one side and a blue scruber on the other side. You can find them with other dish cleaning sponge type things. My book also said for things that are really hard to get off to take a Utility Scraper to scrape the stuff off. That is a razor in a handle thing to scrap with. If it is bad I will use that just be careful you don't scratch the top doing it. Then I use the cleaner and the Scotch Brite on it the scrubbie side.
