Please explain this! It's a smooth sheet of glass - you clean with any cleaner or a special glass stovetop cleaner. How can this be harder to clean than a gas stove, where there are different parts and food can get crusted or burnt on?
Oh yeah, that is not unique to the induction ovens. Glass stove tops are hell to keep clean. Especially the black shinny ones.
Any spills or splatters and splashes bake right into it and you need to do acrobatics to clean it without scratching the surface.
While the surface is very hard, with time the top glaze gets tired just like tooth enamel and those micro abrasions that you can not even see with your naked eye do cling to the hot food for their dear life. So cleaning is more and more difficult and the result is less and less spectacular.
It does not apply to people who do have kitchen for decoration and socializing purposes only and who do not cook in them and
the extend of use of their ovens does not exceed boiling water, reheating left overs or having a wild sex on the top of the countertops without special attention where the countertop ends and the stove begins, ever so easier when they started making them without the knobs
Having said that, the said glass cook tops, regardless of the heating technology do look good for couple of years, after that you will see the tired part. But don't we all work that way.
