I got gifted a G-bag of yummy bread today... seed loaves, garlic cheese
foccacia, heavy dark rye, some sweet stuff and on and on...

I double wrapped everything in two directions with Saran for the freezer.
And I discovered that that surface of my stove has the exact amount of
"cling" to hold the Saran flat without bunching or wrinkling. Works like a
hot damn and eliminates a whole lot of frusterations !

(I have used 6o metres of Saran in the last two gifts !!!)

Hey I'll have to try that! :-)

I use my glass top a lot for photography as the overhead lighting is
perfect.

Hmmm. This could be a good thread. Innovative uses that make
the glass-topped stove almost worth having. :-)

Indeed! :-)

I personally love it for food prep as well.
It acts easily as an extra counter surface as my kitchen is very small.
I can use all the prep space I can get when I'm doing an elaborate
recipe. <G>

I grew up with gas stoves, and as an adult, I haven't had one...
So, if electric is a given, I would have no other than a glass-top...
For cleaning ease if for no other reason.
Yes, it is also a delight to have that extra space to park groceries while I
stow 'n' store...

It's nice to have a stove that can be used as a counter top
temporarily..... :-)

About fifteen years ago my uncle's house burned to the ground from
doing that.

Can't help it if your uncle was stupid enough to use it as a countertop
with the burners ON!!!!!

I don't do that. ;-)
I pay attention to the indicator lights...

If you're ever without your glasstop, try Stretch-tite plastic wrap.
Over the years, Saran has aged me 10; Glad, 5. With Stretch-tite I'm a
kid again.

I really like Reynolds clear plastic wrap, but I have been buying
K-Mart's own brand (American Fare, I think, in a yellow box) and it
works just as well. I always found Saranwrap to be too thick to cling
well.
