A. Most do. Some models of course offer more storage space than others.
5. Q. Are Hot Pans Harmful to the Porcelain of the Work Surface of the Range?
A. Yes. Sliding hot pans from the cooking unit to the porcelain work surface may result in scratches. An inexpensive pad may be used to protect the work surface.
6. Q. Will the Porcelain Surface of the Range Be Harmed By Large Pans Which Extend Over the Unit and Contact Directly?
A. Yes. A good example of this is a large pressure cooker. The recessed bottom on some pressure cookers has caused considerable damage to the porcelain cooking top on ranges because the heating unit does not come in contact with the pressure cooker resulting in excessive temperatures adjacent to the surface unit. When such utensils must be used, it is well to raise the unit from the surface to insure direct contact.
One make of Range has available a metal ring which slips in under the unit and raises it about 1 inch to prevent damage to the porcelain top.
Care of the Electric Range
1. Q. Why Is It Easy to Keep Electric Ranges Clean?
A. First, electricity is the cleanest of all fuels. Second, one piece ovens eliminate cracks and provide round corners—work surfaces with coved backs and cooking units that are easily removed for cleaning. Porcelain in itself is one of the easiest of all surfaces to clean.
