Well, I can not speak for everybody, but I love our ceramic glass
cooktop, and this is the 3rd one that we have had. When we sold our
house in Louisiana and moved into this house, they had electric and we
replaced it with ceramic-glass.

Here is what I do not understand. The ones we have had, were a breeze to
clean, but my late mother's was not. I read that ceramic-glass cooktops
can be composed of different amounts of ceramic and glass, so I am
wondering if that is why ours have been so easy to keep clean, but hers
has not. I clean ours each time we use it, maybe other people do not?
