Anyone have a Flat Burner Stove

I agree! They are a PAIN to clean! And like Nikki said they are not safe if you have little ones. They take FOREVER to cool down! Travis and I both HATE our flat top!
I have had mine for 10 years and I love it. Too keep my kitties from burning their paws I always fill a pot with cold water and set it on the burner that I just used. It helps cool the burner down and also puts something in the way so my guy can't just walk across the stove.
To clean it I use the Mr. Clean magic eraser and then wipe it down with a little soft scub and it still looks brand new.

Thanks for the idea.
There is no way Coco will go up there.
She can not jump that high.
The other Cats are not allowed in the kitchen when we cook anymore.
Here is what it looks like.

Thanks for the link! I'll definitely have to check into them. Great idea!
There must be different types. I had to look - ours is a "Ceran" top by Schott. It's usually completely cool within 5 minutes, and wiping it with warm water and a dishrag after each use is enough to keep it quite clean. I use the steam cleaner on it once a week, when I give the cabinets, counters, etc., a good cleaning, and the polish every week or so, and it looks like it's brand-new.
It's all in what you get used too! I have a flat top and I like it alot, but it takes awhile to heat up, seems like I start everything on high to get it rolling but after that it is just fine! and about the cooling down, well i think Spook may have had a come to Jesus meeting with one of the burners before, cause I found that one of his pads was really dry and cracked, he may not have got it from the hot burner, and he might just have dry pads, like my dry feet! but I wonder!???!

It sounds like there are different types of Flat Stoves.
People tend to either love them or hate them. I LOVE mine, my husband hates it with a passion. My advice is to cook on one before you buy one. Personally, I HATE gas stoves, and actually had an outlet installed in this house because I refused to get a gas stove.
You do need PERFECTLY FLAT bottoms on your cookware, or it won't heat right (people who complain that it takes forever to boil water or whatnot usually don't have the right pans).
The cleaner isn't expensive. I think a big bottle costs about $5 and easily lasts me 4-5 months. You don't need to use it every time. I wipe mine off, and if it has spots that are still dirty, then I get out the cooktop cleaner (which you can buy at any store that sells cleaning stuff, usually).
