GE JP3536SJSS 36 inch Stainless 5 Burner Electric Cooktop

I got this to replace an old electric stove in a home I purchased. I was a bit skeptical because it's a very high concept piece, no burner, no coil... but it is great. I like the flexible burner footprints on a few of the burners and the ability to use the top to rest cookie sheets and the like when I am baking. some notes: - use rounded edge pans that will not scratch the glass - I opted for the real dials to help teach my child how to cook, because they are much more positive - being physical --but-- the counter top and cleaning benefits of the electronic control would be a plus over this unit for me if I were not teaching my child how to manage a stove. In short it is a very nice unit

This is a very well constructed cooktop. Absolutely LOVE the "power boil" option. May be a but cumbersome to keep the knob area "crystal clean"; would suggest possible push button mechanism similar to digital drive buttons to keep the flat concept of the cooktop. AND that setup would make cleaning "around the function buttons/knobs" sooooo much easier. Overall I LOVE my new Cooktop.
