I'm still learning to cook on a ceramic top. Been about three months now, and being gone three weeks of that time. Doing fine though. I couldn't believe how fast you can turn two grilled cheese sandwiches black. But it's not the cooking that stifles me, it's keeping that damned glass surface clean!

Yeah I hear ya. We've always had electric and gas is soooo much faster

It takes a bit of practice. Use less heat than you're used to using with the old electric wire burner, cuz the glasstop "pulses" the heat. It uses short bursts of intense heat and then it "rests" between bursts. Takes a short bit of getting used to.

Also, forget about trying to keep the top clean all the time. I use the CeramaBryte on my glasstop about 1x every 2 weeks or so. It's pointless to try and keep it any cleaner than that. Unless you're a clean-freak...

Same stuff I got. I'm always wiping it down, then buffing with the hand towel. It was so much easier with the white porcelain top, the burners burned up anything that got on them. And now I've lost my method of roasting chili's for various Mexican foods. I would use crossed bread cooling racks over the top of the burner. These burners won't work that way.

I hear ya, Mike. Have you thought of trying a small gas-fired stove, say like a Coleman propane camp grill?

Mebbe even a George Foreman electric grill on über high?

Do you have a bottle of Cerama-Brite (sp?) and the souring pad??

Nevermind, just read that you have it!!

I might be able to use the broiler. Could be a pita though. though about getting a single burner electric element. Those are really small though compared to what I used on the old stove.

Use a razor to scrape/clean the surface of burned on food. Works like a charm.

Yes, this is good info! Do not try to use a steak knife or one of your Henckels, @Mikej.
Just get some razor blades from Lowe's and one of those retractable-blade holders. All good!

I just use one of these cheap ol' things from Lowe's that uses the "one-sided" razor blades...

That's what the directions that came with the stove said. EVERY household should have a "Widget" or three.

Luckily I'm pretty good about not slopping food all over my stove.

Pork Belly on the smoker. These are "burnt ends". Of course you make burnt ends from brisket, but the concept is the same using pork belly.
