I agree about the cleaning of electric (I'm talking about the old electric
though with the pull out elements, metal rings etc., really old) I hated
that, so I had gas piped to the stove and replaced the electric with a gas
stovetop which I have been happy with. For myself, I did prefer ovens with
the bare element because they heated faster and also when they did burn out,
I could replace it myself. In the new one, no way.
