[blparent] What kind of stove do yuou have?

[Shannon Wells]

My mom has a flat top stove and loves it. Only thing is you can't cook with 
cast iron on it, at least not her's and it's a Kenmore from Sears. As for 
feeling the burners, just go looking around. Different brands are different. 
I looked at a Kitchenaid and the burners were rough while the rest of the 
surface was smooth. Some brands the burners are very distinct, but others 
are not. One good thing is with a flat top, you don't have to worry about 
cleaning under the caps and dropping things down in them like I'm always 
doing. Just a few thoughts and sorry if I repeted something someone else 
said.
