STOVES THAT F......G SUCK!

Do you love cooking? If you are that foodie that loves to spend time not just visiting new local digs to eat what is in, but are one that loves to cook new meals, you are the maestro behind the counter, at the stove cooking up a storm, for whoever. Now this picture to the right is a glass top stove from Frigidaire, it's a Gallery. So let me google this stove and see what's it made of, because I been using this stove off and on for cooking gigs, and I really don't like it one bit, because of the glass top surface, you need to be gentle, and the grease builds up and you need to clean it with a certain kind of cleaner/polish, and really it is too time consuming, can't stand these types of stoves, give me the gas ones, or the old school electric stoves with the coils, and some Fantastic or 409 to wipe it down. Yay for the old school stoves, Nay for this sucker from Frigidaire!

Cooktop finish Black Porcelain
Door finish stainless steel
Door handle stainless steel


Here's the pain in the butt for this type of stove, the stove top is made of Black Ceramic Glass and when grease gets on there, and if you don't tackle the cleaning duties ASAP, that crap stays on there like gunk. And the only thing to shine this piece a crap stove is this....


WEIMAN GLASS COOK TOP Heavy Duty Cleaner and Polish 15 fl oz.; and a soft scouring pad.


If you don't clean your stove top soon, it takes some sweat and time to clean it, and I really don't find life enjoyable after cooking an awesome meal, only to spend f........g lots of time f......g cleaning a stupid stove. Call me a little bit Pig Penn from Peanuts, or Oscar Madison  from the Odd Couple, maybe not as bad, but man, to clean this crappy stove and make it shine all the time when done cooking? No way Jose that sucks!


Most of my cooking gigs are in someone else's condo and I'd say 90 % of people have this type of electric stove set up in their kitchens. 


Don't like it, though Frigidaire does make fine kitchen tools and equipment, I'd settle for a professional style gas stove hooked up in my home, well if I did own my own home. But I really don't like this stove, just because you gotta put elbow grease in there. Now I think when they invented this piece of crap, they were in cahoots with Weiman, you know, the more glass stove tops Frigidaire sells, the more Weiman cleaners they sell, a win-win situation.
