Cook top stoves are terrible

I don't care what anyone says this is the worst invention for a cooktop stove anyone has ever created. They don't come clean. Have tried everything. A pot boils over and your stove looks hideous. It's so bad by mom is getting a gas cooktop in the new house. The

Yes they are horrible and ugly and when I was married for 50 days well I lived married in the house for 50 days to the narcissist I boiled over something and he flipped out about his stove, at that time I tried to get some things to clean it and I did not understand he already had the cleaner but the bottle looked different I thought he was going to kill me over that and I said I will buy you a new stove...............I hate them and they are ugly and they do not come clean it takes forever to burn off. Worst invention I have ever seen.

I like mine because I can use it for counter space, of which I have too little. I don't cook on it; I have an induction burner I prefer for cooking.

Do you mean a built in cook top? I enjoy mine and have had one since I've owned my home. Most homes have them now days.

Glass top? Oh I LOVE them so much more than my gas range top! If you happen to boil something over on a glass top, as long as you get at it right away, its a breeze to keep clean! You have to experiment with products that work right for you. My stove came with a cleaner that they recommended so I stuck with that. Mine was a showpiece until the day we moved. In fact, many women couldn't believe I even used it when they walked through our house. I have gas now and find it a heck of a lot harder to keep clean! Ugh!

If you mean the glass top stove, I also love mine. No problem at all keeping it clean. For heavier spills, etc., I use the cleaner that I got from Sears. It's wonderful for anything I've encountered on my stove top. After cleaning, I then go over the top once more with Invisible Glass to bring it to a "like new" shine. Love mine! (Except that I wish we had gas in my area!)

I've had a glass top stove for 18 years and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

It still looks like it did the day we bought it.

Every night I tell it I love you!!

Nothing will ever replace a gas free standing stove/oven for me. I was raised and taught to cook with electric, but have had a gas stove since I was in my 20's and I'll never go back.

As for built ins, I'm no fan of them. They tend to be very expensive to replace, and even though they are designed into new and modern kitchens, they always make me think of the 1950's and being very dated looking.

I hate the glass cooktop. I've been cooking with gas for years, then moved back to the family home to take care of my elderly mother. I haven't cooked on that thing yet! I love a gas cooktop -- not freestanding but built in. I love to cook and really miss my gas cooktop. Mom doesn't want a gas cooktop, even though the kitchen is plumbed for gas already.

The glass electric cooktop is black and a biyatch to keep clean. Seems as if no cleaner in the world will keep from streaking. It always looks dusty and dirty. I can use a clean, lint-free cloth with cooktop cleaner on it but the streaks come back.

@ccassaday

Cooktop stoves have been available for many, many years. I really don't understand your post complaining about a stove.

Yes I mean a glass cooktop. You can't clean it right away after a boil when it's flaming hot. These stoves are ridiculous.

My mom had a glass cooktop.

I remember her saying not to clean it right away. It had to cool down. She had a special glass cooktop cleaner. I think the brand was Weiman. There never was a problem cleaning it.

One time I tried to clean it when it was still warm, and I had a hard time. She told me it has to be completely cool.

I prefer to cook with gas. I have a hard time regulating electric stoves and ovens. They never seem to bake right either.

I am a dinosaur that recently bought a new coil electric range. Love it.

I've had natural gas, too, and honestly, I like electric better, but didn't see the need for a glass top or an induction.

Of course the range itself was inexpensive, but it was the receptacle installation by an electrician, to meet current code, that cost a bit more. Like I could open the bottom drawer and unplug it faster than running to the breaker panel!

I've had a gas stove, and regular electric stoves in my lifetime. My last three stoves have been glass top, and I wouldn't go back.

I've never had a problem keeping mine clean. Much easier to clean up a spill than pulling out individual burners. You should use the special cleaner frequently, but it's no big deal.

I love my glass top, it is 10 years old. I cook alot. It looks like new. Dawn for light mess, earthbright for heavy burnt mess, Mr clean eraser for boil overs. Windex for shine.

No more of those of those awful burner pans.

I'm on my 2nd glass top stove in 20+ years, and I don't think I'll ever have anything else! I have a spray cleaner that came with my 2nd one for daily cleaning...gets grease and light soil right up, with NO streaks---and my stove top is black. I also have the Weiman cleaner for heavier, cooked-on spills, and it works great--be sure to let the stove top cool completely before using it. A razor blade can be used for really stubborn stuff, just use with caution.

Re: Cook top stoves are terrible

ccassaday — Mon, 13 Feb 2017 15:33:05 GMT

My mom is going to pick up that Weiman cleaner. Hopefully it will I'll work. I saw a YouTube video using it with a razer blade.

@Mominohio Sometimes I think we're sisters from different mothers. I so wholeheartedly agree with you about gas stoves that, when we were house shopping, I would not look at houses without gas capability.

A family member has a built-in that she wants to replace. Her challenge is finding the right size so as not to turn it into a major destruct / re-construct project.
