Looking into it and getting apprehensive. Some sites and friends said they've used cast iron on theirs before and it works fine, but then some reviews of similar ranges say it's bad to use cast iron, and a similar range's manual (can't confirm it's the same model) recommends against cast iron.
But the only major issue I can find is that it's easier to scratch the cooking surface.

You might wish to check with ol @
Sapphireho , no doubt he has experience up there, cooking with cast iron on stoves -
All I know is that our GE electric stove with a glass cook top had worked good for several years - then the main burner burnt out. Just as I got a new element ($100), the glass stove top cracked in several places, plus it looks like someone took an electric grinder to it.
A new glass cook top is $250, so, it's new stove time -
