Product review (5 stars): Cautious at first, LOVE it now
We've had this cooktop for about 3 months now. I was worried about the fact that it's stainless steel and how hard it might be to clean. Oddly enough, it seems to be easier to clean than our old white enamel cooktop. The cast iron grates are easy to remove and clean. The center section is at a same height as the burner grates, so it makes it very easy to set other hot items there. Someone complained about the decals coming off. We haven't experienced anything like that, but I will say that you need to be careful about large pots being too close to the knobs. I could see where that may cause an issue.

One of my favorite things about this cooktop is that on school mornings, I can cook something, plate it, and then set the plate on the still-warm cast iron grate to keep it warm until my daughter shows up to eat it before catching the bus.  Highly recommend this!
