What do people find is best?

Glass or stainless steel?

No, it's either copious quantities of WD40 (if he's got his head stuck
in his cooker) or an urgent visit to A&E (if he's got his cooker stuck
in his head).

From a claning point of view - glass. Stainless steel is a pain to keep
looking good

but glass shows every fingermark and grease splotch too. Dark painted
enamel is much more forgiving.

We've got various stainless steel things - Barkeepers' Friend is what
you need. It is a mysterious white powder which on a damp cloth cuts
through all dirt and immediately makes stainless steel look fantastic.
Whatever you do don't let anyone with a strong belief in elbow grease
and scouring pads anywhere near stainless steel.

OTOH if you have a brushed finish it works fine and restores it.

Its just as hard to polish up a glass surface after scratching it as a
steel one.

It's not scratched, it's "distressed"

The message

Well, actually a stainless steel razor blade works very well on my
wife's hairy legs -- broken glass tends to cut her :-)
