[Electronics-talk] tactile stove

[Snow White Dove]

I find them really easy to find.  You have to intend to look for them though.

they just don’t jump out at you.

Yes, they are much easier to clean, which is why I prefer them to the coil stoves.  

If we get to a point where we buy a home or condo and have electric, the first thing is to get a flat top stove.

Sears is also very good about their warrantees.  I’ve never had a problem with any of their appliances.

>> If no one makes stoves with coiled burners, do they at least make ones with enough tactile difference between the burner and other surface to feel the difference? I use my hand to feel the heat in order to place the pots on the burners, but its not as exact as the old way.
