Electric range

Posted by TH on February 11, 2007, 2:08 pm

We are in the market for a new electric range. Have always had the type with
the exposed coil "burners". Many of the ones we look at have the flat glass
surface. What are the pros and cons of the flat glass ranges.

Thanks

They're neat and clean, but your pots and pans must be absolutely flat, to
make good contact with the surface, or it takes a while to heat

We bought a glass-top stove a few years back and haven't had any
trouble with any of our cookware. Flat top stoves are on our must-
have list for future homes.

Read consumer reports at your local library for reviews and comparisons.
Well worth it.

I have subscribed to Consumer Reports for years. Many times after evaluating
a product I find that the CU ratings are counterpoint to my evaluation and I
have purchased a lesser rated item and have been very happy with it.

CU makes a good starting point though.
