Usually, nowadays, gas stoves have electric
ignition, so you never need to worry about the
pilot light going out. I've had a stove like this
on and off for the last thirty years, and no
worries. I'd encourage you to find a gas stove
with electric ignition. Oh, in case of a power
outage when you'd desperately need to use your
stove, the pilot can be lit manually.
Happy shopping and remodelling!

Hi Kim, I agree with Regina's approach. I use a
similar approach for my stove which is also a
glass cooktop. There are no mtactile markers to
indicate where the burners are, and for me, as
long as I can feel the heat when the burner is
on, I use this to center the pan. I noticed if I
try to center the pan on the burner before
turning it on, it doesn't work as well. I'm
remodeling my kitchen, so I will share what
stove and oven I buy if that would help anyone.
Nothing is worse than those induction stoves
they have in parts of Europe. I lived in Madrid
for several years, and had to use one of those.
That was just awful, induction is based on a
magnetic coil, not allowing you to turn on the
burner before centering the pan. THe pans used
for this type of stove have special coils in
them, and are generally more expensive than
regular pans. The point to my longwinded story
is with induction stoves, if there is nothing on
the burner, the stove won't turn on, either that
or it will turn off very quickly. My favorite
stoves are gas, because there is no guessing
that the burner is on, but I'm nervous about the
pilot light going out. I hope my explanation was
useful. Dolores A cat's purr is the sweetest

have a flat-top stove, and I love it. Almost
everything on the stove is accessible, including
setting the oven temperature. I can even use the
timer. I had to make labels for the panel, but
it was quite easy. The stove has convection,
which I use a lot. It took me a while to figure
out that the broiler works only if the oven door
is closed. > > Carol Ashland >

There is no engraving, but you can tell the

is even around the outside of the pan, you have
it centered, or close enough. Then you turn your
burner to the temperature you desire it to be. I
don't know how you center your pot if you lack
feeling in your fingers though. Maybe somebody
else has a better suggestion, but that is the
way I do it. The other thing I do is make
certain the flat surface of my stove is clean
and dry and free from all objects before I turn
any burner on for any reason. For me that is the
best safety rule I can think of for the flat
topped stoves. I love mine because it keeps
cleanup so easy compared to other stovetop
choices. >> >> Pamela Fairchild >>
