Does anyone looking at it need me to mention the seam between the cooktop and the side of the cabinet where grease accumulates? I found one and was going to use it outside, but that grease situation was just too gross. | ||

or don't cook with grease. Not many ranges back then were designed with easy cleaning in mind. Men didn't clean much, so why would they care? No sealed burners yet either. | ||

Yes, CR downrates the cleanability of that cooktop enough that you wish for the grease-catcher design to be gone, then, again what excuse do I have? (Look here:) -- Dave

Gas Cook-Top Cleaning No GCT is truly easy to clean, and on this older non-sealed Caloric GCT you can easily lift the entire top up and off the range for cleaning [ you can clean it outside with Easy-Off ], then all the burners lift out, and you are left with an easy to clean porclean sub-top where nothing burns on.
The burner grates from the Caloric go in the Self-Cleaning, its a little bit of effort but as I said no gas range CT is as easy to clean as my Induction CT, LOL.

I have to agree John L. Stains are difficult to get off the burners if they don't burn off. The grates are heavy, get greasy. A built in style collects grease and grime under the adjoining counter edge, and requires a toothpick to clean under. | ||

Yes, that is what I was calling attention to—my counter edge, that I’ll go as far as to retrieve whatever food particles fall there that I don’t want to waste or don’t fall into any unusability...
Thankfully you can give credit to the modern designs for making cleanup easier than on the range tops of old...! — Dave | ||
