Hey kids,
Okay, I gots another question.
I did a another stupid thing and bought a black gas stove. I was wondering if anyone knows if they make any kind of cover for the top. That stupid black shows EVERYTHING.
My last stove was electric and had all the features and was white except the top was light gray and very easy to clean
this new piece of junk doesn’t have anything on it no self-cleaning convection no nothing just the basics which admittedly that’s all I need as much as I use it however I would like a self cleaning oven. My friend said why don’t you get this one so I got it I didn’t look at it hardly I just got the blasted thing. It was cheap all right I think only $600 but moving the gas was $1600. I might’ve got a decent electric stove for 2200 bucks which I didn't need it but I listened to my friend who said it didn't match my new refrigerator.
Anybody got some swampland they need to get rid of?
Thank you,
Jake

Oh Jake, I feel your pain! I too have a new, supposed-to-be-shiny black & stainless gas range. I'll be watching to see what tips you get - I have learned to keep all food prep away from the stove (I used the old one as an extension of my minimal counters) but other than that, I must clean it every day.
@loribmt You cracked me up when you said " I always look at dust as a protective cover anyway." I didn't realize how much cover our living room had until my husband got fed up and started dusting - I can probably count the number of times this has happened in 49 years! But I'm grateful because he also moved all the furniture and steam-mopped all the hardwood floors. Ta-da! Spring cleaning done in that room.

@jakedduck1 Oh my gosh, Jake, you never fail to crack me up! We also have a black gas stove so I feel your pain. It’s all good until the sun comes streaming in the west window, shining a beacon directly on the stove, highlighting every piece of dust, ubiquitous greasy spot and crumb. Every night after dinner we wipe it down with a washcloth and quickly dry with the dishtowel and call it a day. “Good enuf” unless we have guests coming...thankfully with Covid it’s a non issue. I always look at dust as a protective cover anyway.
We have a self cleaning oven but still put a piece of foil on the bottom shelf to catch drips from pizza.
How long have you had your new stove? I’d say after a week or two you’ll become less vexed with your decision. After all, it matches your new refrigerator!! LOL
