Like the rest of my house, the kitchen is heated and I don't rely on a
stove or cooktop for heating. For practically all of my life, i have
used electrical burners and ovens. For the last 40 years, I have been
pleased with the self-cleaning feature of the ovens, which unlike gas
stoves, actually work. My current glass top stove has burners that heat
up quickly and are all thermostatted. I like them too!
