Looking for a new range (split from General Chowhounding Topics board)
Off subject, but I am looking for a new range. What model is your GE?

Actually, I meant to say, "my *white* GE gas range..."
It is similar to this:

The only thing I *don't* like about it is those damn little rubber feet on the bottom of the grates. You really have to watch out when you clean, so you don't lose them.

That Kenmore is close to the one I have and on sale right now for $679 - I love the 5th center burner, and mine has a griddle plate that I use more than I thought I would for heating flour tortillas, making quesadillas, grilled cheese, etc. Mine has more oven-based features (that I never really use) and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Well, maybe I should keep looking, but love those two features. Can't be worse than the cream Whirlpool from probably 1987 (based on the color) that came with the house and has a very capricious oven.

Ha - you're looking to replace the exact stove I cooked on for 15 years. Like Al B.'s, mine has a power burner and simmer burner as well, and they're great features.
But, yeah.. the black is a pain. But, on the bright side, it forces me to pay attention to not letting the rice boil over.
