Bump for visibility.

Your Jenn-Air heats the glass top to 750* on higher settings. That super bakes things to the surface. Induction warms up to a much lower non bake temp from heat transfer from the pan. You can clean it easily with a paper towel and a spray of any cleaner.

Your current oven glass is cleanable. It's a multi-layer system. You can disassemble the inside metal frame and take out the glass layers to clean the inside. The door can be removed to do this on a flat work surface.

pollydill, we don't have ours yet, but it's sitting in the warehouse waiting on us : ) I've read tons of reviews, making my decision based on GW/Houzz reviews. I can't answer most your questions, but regarding cleanup, most recommend the glass cooktop cleaners as excellent for it. I remember one person had a burnt milk stain that came up with the razor cleaner.

During our in-store demo of the range, cheese was purposefully burnt on. The razor cleaner got most up, followed by a wipe-down with glass cooktop cleaner and cloth. All gone. Water was brought to a boil for another demo, and the pan lifted up - I placed my hand on it 2 seconds later and it was only a little warm. Not uncomfortable to the touch.

I'm sure any glass cooktop can be scratched. I'd keep salt and other things cleaned up, not scootch pans across it : )

Rita, I should have been more specific - I said during our demo cheese was purposefully burnt on - to do that he literally had to put the cheese under the pot of boiling water. It was more melty, not black or burnt. I requested that demo to see if the razor thing would work.

2Many, I understood your point. I was referring to the OP's concern over cleaning the glass top with the induction. I'm sorry if I muddied the waters unnecessarily.

Then the cheese would melt to the pan, not the cooktop if it's induction.

Oh no, Rita, I was saying I muddied the waters! I wasn't specific. You were!

CP, as stated, I specifically wanted to see how the razor 'thing' worked so I asked for something to be 'burned on' but it was just melty on the cooktop. Yes, much of the cheese was on the bottom of the pan!

Thank you ALL for your responses!! It looks like the stove top is easy to clean--yay!

How about the oven? Does it bake as expected? Do you use the self-cleaning function? If so, does it work well?

(and dan1888, are you referring to my current Jenn-Air oven with the drip between the glass on the front door?)

I have the Bosch and the cooktop cleans up in 10 to 30 seconds depending on the grease splatters, literally. I have never used the self clean for the oven because of all the electronics, just nervous I would be the one who fried her electronics.

pollydill yes I was referring to how to get rid of that drip inside the JA oven door glass. But all oven doors come apart like that as far as I know. You can clean them all. I've had a JA and am confident yours can be cleaned pending a look at the parts diagram for your model.

Thanks Dan--I wish I had asked when it occurred. Now that the oven is soon to b replaced, I am not as eager to take on the task cleaning the oven door. :)
