SC - I might be getting a new oven

[Seton1355 at aol.com]

Hi Everybody!
	Perhaps someone on  this list can give me an opinion about "sealed top
stoves".  I am thinking about getting a new stove/oven.  It will have to be
electric.  I have an open coil type stove now.  A few years ago there were,
what was called, "European" sealed coils.  They were made out of cast iron and
sealed so that no dirt could get in.  Well, I found out today that these cast
iron stoves are being phased out in favor of what is now called "Ceram-top
stoves".  A sealed ceramic/glass electric top.  What I want to know is, does
anyone on the list have one and how do you like it?  Does it really heat
evenly?  Is the top really "dirt-free?"  Can you drag a heavy pot across it
with no problems? Would you buy the same thing again if you had a choice?
	Also, one model that I looked at had a convection (turbo) oven with it.  How
does it cook differently than a regular oven and is it worth the extra $120.00
they are asking for the convection part?
	Well, thanks for any opinions!
Phillipa
