I would have never moved here if I could not have had a gas range, they could be giving away the house, furniture, whatever but I MUST HAVE GAS TO COOK WITH. I have ruined too many pots and pans with electric and if you watch any cooking shows, they all use GAS. Riggosmom

We have a Jenn-Air electric glass cook top range here at home and a gas range in TV.

IMHO, gas is the best choice because, as avid cooks, we can adjust the heat instantly without effecting the quality of food we are preparing. Gas gives us the ability to fine tune cooking and instantly control the heat setting.

I only use a special glass cook top non abrasive cleaner (that I buy at the local discount retail store) and a soft rag to clean the glass top. I would be leery of using a Brillo pad since glass scratches easily.

For difficult burned on stains, I put a little water on top and let it soak a while...the stubborn stains usually remove without any problem.

In extreme cases, a utility knife is used to scrape the burned on stains off...only I don't do that...I leave that task up to my husband and will wring his neck if he scratches it! Luckily this is a rare occurrence.

GAS IS MY #1 CHOICE and I'm so glad we have it in Liberty Park!

My wife is the same way - we only have electric in our TV home and my wife wants me to sneak in a propane tank so she can have gas!

The only way I could show you my cooktop is to change the picture of myself. This is it after 3 years of hard use. Actually it is not glass, it is ceramic, like a good cassarole dish and stands up to a brillo pad well. It is a GE Profile. The smears need a warm soapy rag and an absolutely clean rag or paper towel to dry it...as does all that dang granite.( a lot of work) However. test with the brillo pad on a tiny place, I would cry if you ruined yours.

Hugs,

:bigthumbsup: I'd use a Brillo pad on a ceramic top. :bigthumbsup:

In fact, I use them to clean my gas range burner drip pans...only thing that gets them sparkly clean again. ;D

GG,
I also have the GE profile cooktop. I use a razorblade widget thing to scrape everything possible off, then lightly do the brillo pad for the very little that's left. Then a quick spray with Windex and a paper towel. Makes it look brand new. As yours does.
And I don't have a single scratch, but am careful to use the razorblade on a slant.

I also use the razorblade on my granite for anything that's stuck on.
Makes cleanup a breeze.


And in our TV home in Lynnhaven, we have a gas range.

We have electric in NY and gas in Village of Belvedere. I don't cook, so I can't comment on one over the other; I'm posting just to say that Belvedere does have gas.

We recently bought a home in Amelia, which we have not moved into yet, that has gas. Oh, we move during the first and second week in June. We cannot wait.

Congratulations and WELCOME, Number 6. We are in Hadley and really close to you!
