pardon my typo: 2 times the cost, not 3. Still more expensive. Both of us use our stove a lot. I miss the one that was in the house when we moved in. Early 70's vintage true stainless steel cook top. Alas, the thermostat gave it up and we couldn't find a replacement.

The original was released in 1971 and was ruined stateside as it was used by Coke as an ear worm ad that Christmas.

This is a beautiful rendition you have shared.

Stove originally came with those. They cracked and then rusted. Replacement set also cracked and then rusted. And around here, you have to special order them these days for 3 times the cost of the metal ones. Maybe I'm just rough on my appliances when I cook.

The 6 inch ones did not. I brought one of the rusty pans to show the difference. Upon looking on the shelf, the 6 inch ones all match the ones in the non-GE set. So, they've got a serious supply chain issue. I guess I'll have to go back to Orange Big Box Store later in the week. (2/3)

I was just wondering if you were still active here. I'm guessing my feed simply keeps missing your posts. I'm glad to see you remain active!
