I have a smooth top stove. It is my second. It doesn't keep a constant temperature. Neither did my first - that's why I got rid of it. Yesterday it went from zero to sixty and boiled over some milk. The smoke alarm went off, the dog hid, the neighbors came over ("No, I'm just cooking...") - what a hassle. Now I've got burned on crude that needs a razor to scrape off. Ugh.

So I'm getting ready to go back to the old fashioned coil type - but am not sure if they even keep an even temp anymore. Does anybody have one that they can recommend? My neighbor has a GE but it's fairly old.

Oh and get this - In searching websites I see where Sears charges extra for the power cord! Seriously???

Any recommendations would be appreciated!
