I will never forgive my landlord for replacing the perfectly good gas stove with ceramic glass garbage.
I can’t even boil pasta properly because the damn thing switches between off and on every couple of minutes so it goes from a rolling boil to barely a simmer repeatedly.
I hate it vehemently.
It’s also impossible to clean. After one use a layer of grease seemed to meld with the glass and nothing will remove it. I had to use heavy duty oven cleaner on it after every single use and it still didn’t work. I’ve given up now, i’d rather replace it than spend hours scrubbing it every day.
The gas stove was a major reason for choosing this house to rent and I will not get over it. I don’t have asthma and I don’t have kids. I’m looking to buy a place and I am looking for a gas stove.
We wanted our first house to have a gas stove, but we ended up with a house with a nasty old electric stove. It lasted about a year, then quit, so we started looking for a new one.
We pulled it out, and there was an old capped gas connection. We had the gas company inspect it, and they said it was fine, so we got a gas stove and hooked it up!
People switch from gas to electric often, but I’ve never known anyone to go the other way, as much as they’d kike to. It’s just too much trouble and expense to run the new gas line.
I think that’s also an advantage of induction. Admittedly I haven’t used an electric glass top, but the induction glass top doesn’t get hot except directly where the pan touches. So far it’s been trivial to keep clean
My house has a gas stove with a glass surface and it does get stuff stuck to it like you described but the cleaner and the razor blade scraper both help
This is a razor blade based tool that came with the stove. I don’t think we’ve ever had to change out the razor blade. looks kind of like this, highly recommended.

Try induction. You’ll go back to “electric” faster than you went to gas.
You should look for a place with an induction stove, so much better than gas.
I would hazard not many landlords are going to be putting induction stoves in over the cheapest electric.

Do you have the razor blade?

I tried using a metal bench scraper on it but I’m not willing to mess around with razor blades, I’m too clumsy for that.
