We've had comething very like this unit in several rentals, and I've found it very easy to clean. http://www.homedepot.com/Appliances-Kitchen-Appliances-Ranges-Gas-Ranges/GE/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xg9Zbv5rZlo/R-100641710/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053<br /><br />Sure, cooked on food is a little hard to remove, but I imagine you'll have that problem with an electric flattop as well. This gas stove we had, and I think all the new ones, have all enamel parts, and are much easier to clean than the old ones with metal parts. If you haven't looked closely at a new model, you might want to go browse them!Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285686665644896297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2338946440894587939.post-21851709567383158752010-12-17T02:30:33.438-05:002010-12-17T02:30:33.438-05:00Gas.

That said, I've heard good things about the new induction ranges...kinda the best of both worlds "they" say...Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02283783938773107355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2338946440894587939.post-46452381902048205702010-12-14T17:33:01.448-05:002010-12-14T17:33:01.448-05:00I've cooked on both gas and electric flat tops...I've cooked on both gas and electric flat tops at various homes we've lived in. I much prefer gas. It does indeed heat up and cool down faster. (The newer gas burners are much easier to clean than the old ones, btw.) And the problem with electric flat tops is that they don't really get clean! Yes, I can wipe them down quickly, but they still have trouble spots. BUT, I have some relatives who really love them. Good luck with your tough decision :)Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08674086966465203888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2338946440894587939.post-30789608762964885752010-12-14T15:27:36.305-05:002010-12-14T15:27:36.305-05:00Hm.

Also, I don't clean the house so much, so maybe i should stick with gas. <br /><br />Thanks folks!Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14925334545991188404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2338946440894587939.post-82178861452591338052010-12-14T10:20:42.918-05:002010-12-14T10:20:42.918-05:00My husband and I travel a lot for his job. We are ...My husband and I travel a lot for his job. We are always living in rented spaces with a variety of kitchen appliances. I much prefer gas ranges to electric. The first reason is that the eyes never get wonky and unlevel so your pans always sit nice and flat on the eye. To me, gas heats up quicker and is consistent over the entire eye. I do not like flat tops because I can never get them clean. I have used the special cleaners for them, there always seems to be streaks left on it. The time I spent taking the gas top racks off to clean them wasn't anymore time than I spent scrubbing and scratching off the spills on the smooth top. I am a messy cook so I always have a mess to clean. Just my take on it, gas all the way!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774689413077807877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2338946440894587939.post-269488844610525302010-12-14T09:47:27.294-05:002010-12-14T09:47:27.294-05:00I'm switching from gas to electric because we ...I'm switching from gas to electric because we are moving.
