Gordon Bakke Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Some of the stoves available for purchase in Panama come with a very nice (and I assume expensive) glass top that folds up & down. So far, I have found zero functionality for said top. In fact, it seems to be a very good collector of grease and dust. What am I missing??

Roger B Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Gordon. That glass top is merely decorative. I does not have any real and/or practical use, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WryAwry Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Stoves with glass tops shouldn't brown scones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another thing to clean. And if you forget to lift it up when you turn the gas on, there will be trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcelyn Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I don't own one of these stoves, but one advantage to this glass top (especially if the glass is tinted) would be to hide any food run-over mess around the burners. My friend Naomi is a great cook but hates cleaning her stove top and oven. I think she would appreciate this glass top gadget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Woolford Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) I always thought that in a minimal kitchen with limited counter space the glass top could provide a work surface for light prep and other tasks.

Marcelyn Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Good point. Might need to be careful with pressure and weight, but useable work space always helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maria Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 The glass top serves several purposes in my small, totally Panamanian kitchen...............extra prep space for sure, a place to cool baked goods and probably, best of all...........it serves as a back splash that is much easier to clean than a plaster wall painted with cheap paint. Actually, you can get this helpful attachment on reasonably priced stoves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
