I’ll eventually get over the fascination with this stove but I love it. Here are a couple of features I like best:
Here’s the little control panel area and it stays black til I turn on one of the knobs.
As soon as I turn one of the jobs on, this happens. Isn’t that cool? Yes, I know . . it’s something else to break. Some day I may wish for a plain jane stove when all this starts going haywire .. and you know it will.
See this burner . . on medium or high or anything in between, this is how this burner looks.
If you turn it to anything lower than medium, this is what you get. It’s a low simmer burner. I can’t wait to make tapioca pudding using this burner but it will be a long time probably before we lose enough weight to make tapioca.
The two center burners can be turned on both at the same time and use a long griddle, that came with the stove or each burner can be used independently.
Pretty cool stove, huh?

I have the older(3yrs old) model of this stove! I also went from electric to gas and I love it! My middle burner is different but also has a griddle I can change the gear out for. Hope you enjoy yours as much as we love ours!

I’m so glad you recommended it. I think I’m going to LOVE it!

Looks great! I don’t have gas, so have to deal with electric. We’ve got lots of natural gas in the area and most people use it, but we’re far back off the road, so running a gas line would be cost-prohibitive. It does look like lots of fun to learn all the new buttons and all. 🙂 Better you than me! I bought an air-fryer a couple of weeks ago and haven’t used it yet because I haven’t read through the instruction booklet!! LOL

There’s not much to learn. It’s pretty intuitive. If turning it to the left doesn’t work, turn it to the right. It came with a manual but I had already read it online, read it again online while they were installing the stove just as a refresher.
I love reading instruction manuals for gadgets and that’s usually the first thing I do because, while I can almost always figure them out, there’s ALWAYS some neat little feature I would never have noticed without reading the manual. For me, for the most part, if I’ve thought about it long enough to invest money in it, I know I’ll use it – usually within five minutes of bringing it into the house.

I have the same stove and the best thing to clean the top is bartenders friend….it works like a charm on the stainless

Beautiful stove, Judy! I just got a glass-top stove last year and I love it. It takes me a while to get it sparkly clean and shiny, but I am ok with that. I don’t cook nearly as much as you do. Also, I have an antique gas stove in the basement that I use if I want.

In my opinion glass tops are fine for those who don’t cook a lot but for those of us who cook two, sometimes three meals a day and love to use cast iron or do canning, well, some may still like them because they do sparkle when clean but for those of us who cook like I do, gas works so much better. I love being able to take a big, heavy cast iron Dutch oven out of the hot oven and stick it on the stove grate. I love being able to take a hot lid off a pot and sit it on an empty spot on the grate. I love knowing I can cook with or without electricity. Having the gas stove in Texas last winter when Vince had no power for three days made a believer out of him. You have a backup gas stove so you know you can still cook with the power off.
The good news is that everyone can have whichever stove makes them happy. I do remember when I got my first glass top and I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread because it was always clean and sparkly. That honeymoon didn’t last long for me but I know I’m not always normal. 🙂

I have a question: When the gas burner is on high, do the flames touch the grill that the pan sits on?
I remember when the gas flame would curl up around the bottom of the pan sitting on the grill. Seems like the flames no longer even reach the grill nowadays.

If the flames curl around the edges of the pan, the flame is too high. I’ll do a post with pictures.
