I have one of those smooth top, glass electric stoves which I dislike a
great deal but Hubby, who sells appliances, insisted I had to have it when
we moved into a new house. The result is that I can't use cast iron too
successfully because every pan to to be completely flat on the bottom to
make contact with the darn glass top. I my downstairs kitchen I have a gas
stove which is what I definitely prefer.
Upstairs I have to use those non-stick babies but I've bought all Caphalon
over the past few years and they seem to be holding up well. I did learn
that you simply can't use high heat with these pans, medium to start and
then turning it down has saved the surface of the pan for the most part.
It's nice having two complete kitchens, each with it's own features, but
give me a gas stove everytime.
