Cats and stoves

Incidentally, I have a gas range and it heats like a dream! Luckily, no
one shows interest in jumping on it, though Sophie has exhibited
interest in climbing *in* it. Therefore, I no longer get the luxury of
leaving the door open to let the oven heat out once I'm done baking, as
my oven door doesn't just open a crack. Oh well...


I adore my glass top stove! I saved for one forever, it was $800.00.
Has neat timer settings and everything! The oven timer actually turns
the oven off just like a microwave. :-)

Wow! That is cool, I wish my stove did that! (I'm not being a
smart-alec, I'm being serious!)



That *is* cool. My glass top was one of the first ones. I'm sure they're better
now. I won't say exactly how old, but it was harvest gold. ugh.

Is that like avocado green?

Which things? -- my glass stove top or the burner covers for gas stoves?
If
you mean my stove top, it's remarkably easy. Just let it cool, drizzle a
few drops of cleaner that is made for those stoves, and buff with a paper
towel. After 6 years, it still looks brand-new.

My parents have one of those glass-top stoves, too. Due to the fact
that my father is both anal-retentive and retired, it looks like they
just bought it yesterday.

Heh. I had one of those, and due to the fact that I *wasn't* anal retentive
or
retired, I hated it and couldn't wait to get rid of it. Besides all the
other
reasons, if a pan is a *fraction bit* warped, the stupid thing dances on the
burner. It drove me nuts.

I have one and I'm not too crazy about it either. When we bought the house,
the glass top was cracked so the seller's replaced it. It looks good and all
but I just prefer cooking with gas. Seems like there's better control with
gas. Hopefully in the near future we'll have a gas line run and get a gas
stove.

I have caught my cats up there a couple of times. I like the suggestion of
keeping pots on there.

My glass top stove came with a razor scraper. :-)

I change the blades frequently. I scrape the stove top first, then go
after it with some windex. I then follow up with the buffer/cleaner and
polish it with a paper towel.

The razor doesn't scratch the glass?
