Electric stoves
i have an electric stove that i want to take out and put in a couple of cabinets and replace with a counter top stove and was just wondering if the counter top is plugged in like the electric Stove or if it is hardwired

Cooktops are usually harwired. An electician can easily move the outlet for the stove into the area it would need to be for a cooktop. Since the cooktop will probably require a smaller circuit than the range, he may recommend changing the breaker as well; also an easy job.
