A girl and her glass top stove

h1 February 4th, 2007

Well. This is kind of embarrassing. My apartment has a Jenn-Air glass top stove, and I’ve been having a hard time getting it as clean as the day I moved in. But, thanks to the power of the internets, I just spent my Saturday night reading the Southern Living message board’s “Cleaning Glass Top Stove” thread.

During this time, southern ladies with handles such as “emptynester” or “2kidsmom” offered their opinions on razor scrapers, discussed the merits of Ceramabryte vs. Weiman cream polishes, comiserated over annoying “MILs” (Southern Living speak for “mother in law”), and recounted tales of scraping off boiled-over hot pepper jelly.

I felt like I entered into a different place… a place where people say “ya’ll”, actually make their own jellies, and are delighted by grandchild-proof burner switches. And, while this has been very educational and will hopefully lead to a cleaner range, I think I might be turning into a 57 year old woman from Texas.
