[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just moved into a new rental with an electric cooktop. Have always had gas prior to this. I am vaguely aware that I'm not supposed to put hot/cold dishes/pans onto the stove - is that true? My landlord said it's fine but I'm concerned that the top could crack. If you don't put hot/cold things on there, do you have a ton of trivets? What do you do after, say, straining pasta - does the pot go onto a trivet elsewhere?

I realize these are dumb questions. TIA. [/quote]

Your landlord told you that it is fine - this should be more significant than your vague awareness of another recommendation, OP.

You can put heat-safe things on the cooktop. If the burner is on or has recently been on, that part of the surface will be hot. Keep this in mind when setting down utensils, pot holders, hands, etc.

It is a lot more important to keep the stovetop clean with a glass top electric range than any other type, in my opinion. In our old house, the gas range did not need to be meticulously wiped down after every single use in order to facilitate the next use - once a day was totally fine. I use the Weiman glass cooktop cleaner or whatever it's called. It's expensive but works better than anything else.[/quote]
