Forgive me..I am only a man.


I need to purchase a new stove and I thought it best to solicit the opinion of the fairer sex and those who know more about it than I do....

My only criterion: It must be electric.

• What's the best brand on the (US) market?
• How important is the self-cleaning oven feature?
• Does anyone really use the warmer on the stove?
• What brand or feature do I NOT want to have?
• Which is better, those swirly metal burners or the glass-top ones?

Thank you Both, for the input.

Though not often, I would like to know that I can throw in a chicken (NO TURKEY) or a cake and not feel that it wil be so grungy after I am done.

Also, I kinda like the glass-tops better. they look great but I am not sure about how durable they are.

From experience on the glass-tops.....they are sufficiently durable. They don't scratch, are a breeze to clean. They come with special cook-top cleaner that you just rub on, wipe off and good as new (for after your pot runs over or whatever.)

After using the cleaner, you're supposed to buff the streaks away with a dry paper towl.

I went into the store to look at some yesterday but didnt exactly know what to look for.

The surprising and outrageous thing I realize though is that you have to purchase the electrical plug separately!!!.

And based on the new fire codes, I have to have a special grounding in my house to accomodate the new plug.

Gosh!
Now I will have to put on mi electrician cap.

Well no one else has replied here yet. But for me, my last 2 houses have had the cooktop and I much prefer it.
