So many people think that it is not really Italian to use btter in sauce but it gives it a richness and brings the flavors together better than anything.

I have never had it "seared" -- always 100% uncooked.

I have had cheap GEs since college (in rentals and then in my apartment) and I have never had a problem with them in terms of cleaning or repair. The only issue is noise. Fro $1000 more, are these others completely silent? Else, who cares if you want a standard sized under the counter SS?
