Love this cook top. Easy to use and control. Especially like the instant heat of gas. Plenty of burners for big projects, and it has a cook cast iron griddle we use for pancakes. It is a little harder to clean than a glass cook top, and I wish there was some kind of high temp mat underneath to help with cleaning.

Great stovetop

This is the stovetop that, during the build of our home, I moved from the island to the counter beneath the window and back again about 5 times. One of the great selling points is the light on the knobs to warn you that a burner has been left on, but if you put this in the island that doesn’t help you since the stove is now facing the kitchen and not the living area. Learned that after we moved in. Anyway, I love the cooktop and I love how fast I can get things done. I’m still learning just the right setting to heat something fast but not burn it, so I seem to be always tweaking where the knobs are turned. But we’ve only been in the house for a month and we don’t cook a whole lot. One of my big pet peeves is the grates of these getting sticky and not being able to get them clean and not sticky. I talked with the appliance salesperson about this and she gave me some ideas that will hopefully prevent that from happening. It’s too new now to have developed that problem. I wipe the surface down with a Lysol wipe after each use, and it’s looking good. Weekly we take a stainless steel wipe to all of these appliances as well as to the front of the apron on the kitchen sink.
