| A cooktop stove, whether induction or electric, is a great way to save space in your kitchen, allowing you to install cabinets underneath and place the oven elsewhere. It also offers a sleeker, more modern look, and if it breaks, you only need to replace the cooktop itself, rather than an all-in-one range. These surfaces are also praised for their easy cleanup — especially when compared to open-flame burners or electric coils. |

| To clean a cooktop, you can typically just wipe it down. For everyday messes, a spray bottle filled with equal parts water and distilled white vinegar will get the job done. Since the surface is completely flat, you don't have to fuss over every nook and cranny. However, spills that happen midcooking can get baked-on since the glass is often too hot to wipe down immediately. Even after it cools, some cooktop stains remain stuck, no matter how hard you scrub. Thankfully, there's an easy way to get that glass looking brand-new again. |
| It's important to use a fresh blade every time you do this, as a rusty blade can result in a scratched cooktop. You should also apply a mixture of dish soap and warm water to the cooktop for lubrication. Hold the tool at a 45-degree angle and gently scrape away any burnt-on residue. Remember to work slowly and use a light touch. Once everything is scraped off, give the cooktop one last spray with your cleaner of choice and wipe it away for a crystal-clear finish. |

 | | Libbey Small Glass Bowls With Lids, Eight-Pack | | Mise en place — the practice of prepping all your ingredients before you start cooking — demands a collection of stackable bowls. While I usually reach for ramekins, they're often too small and must be covered in plastic wrap to keep ingredients fresh. These 6.25-ounce-capacity bowls from Libbey are the perfect alternative: They're incredibly durable, dishwasher safe, and just the right size. Because they come with tight-fitting lids and are made of clear glass, you can quickly identify the contents without having to open them. — Kelsey Morrison, House Outlook Editor |
