[Electronics-Talk] Accessible stoves / ovens?

[Taylor Durrett]

I wonder about this too. The stove has knobs and we put bump dots on the oven buttons, but the top of the stove is a flat top. I just wonder how, overtime, how are you supposed to figure out the difference between stuck on grease versus the difference between the edge of one burner versus another.
