Since you have electronic igniters/ignition you don't have pilot lights. Make sure to turn stovetop valves to spark position (usually high) then when burner is lit turn knob back until igniter (sparks) stop. If a stove top burner is blown out there is no safety so you must make sure there are no big drafts. The oven won't get gas unless the glow coil or igniter is red hot and ready to light it.
...... as with any stove you must keep water or oil in pan to prevent burning/sticking.
P.S. I hate those wheat noodles.
I always thought this too... that is until I tried my brother's new GE profile gas range... if the flame goes out... the igniters kick in continuously until the flame reignites...

I've probably heard that. I'm afraid I've fallen behind the times. Should have been expected as it's doable with electronic ignition system. Each burner would need a temp sensor ( maybe a simple thermocouple)(no that would involve having a gas safety valve for each burner) or some sort or a flame switch that sees flame. The kids bought a new one recently it might have it.
BTW, I haven't bothered to mention ... I have left a burner going and eggs boiling which exploded all over the ceiling about 30 years ago. Then I woke up. Far worse ....in just the last couple months or so we got back home from an outing. When I opened the door I smelled heat (best way to describe burning smell). Walked in the kitchen expecting to see flames somewhere. Wife keeps these metal covers over the burners, one over each two burners. The burner was on under one. Either one of the gkids or our monster mutt somehow turned that burner on. We were lucky. The pan was blackened and no damage was done otherwise.
Whew!

Our range does the same thing. Sometimes it can be a little aggravating as if you have the burner on the lowest simmer, it will occasionally click the spark as it thinks the thing has gone out when it hasn't.
Thanks. I threw out the Pyrex dishes before we moved because they have a tendency to explode. We bought all new pans, including casserole.
I agree with the wheat noodles. Decided it isn't worth it. We eat enough fruit, vegetables and fiber anyway, might as well enjoy the white noodles.
You exploded a Pyrex dish? Wow, that is actually impressive.
In all of my 53 chronological years and my 30+ years of cooking experience I have only known of one Pyrex dish that exploded and it exploded because it had been dropped and had a hairline crack in corner of it and was put into the cabinet like nothing had happened.

Recently I set one on a towel that I didn't realize was slightly damp and it... well, it didn't explode, but let's say it "shattered violently".

There's a whole thread about exploding pyrex dishes.
