[quote=Anonymous]We used an electric flat cooktop in the house we rented for ten years. The only reason why I didn't throw it out of the house was because it wasn't hours. Reasons why I hated it include: -when something like soup boiled over, it immediately burned, sticking to the stove, making the house smell horribly and the putting the burner out of service until it could be cleaned up. -if something small like a grain of rice fell into the burner, it caught fire and again, stunk up the kitchen. -scrubbing the cooktop after something burned onto it was hell, and it never looked completely clean as hard as I tried. -there was no simmer, the lowest setting did nothing at all. -Very uneven heat. -hard to change temperature. -you always had to clean the cooktop before cooking, to make sure nothing got further burned in (easier said than done with little kids). We bought a house last year and I told DH I was not moving into it unless we put in a line for gas or got induction. Induction won. I LOVE our new cooktop so much! It's a Bosch. It simmers at the lowest setting, if something spills it does not burn in as the cooktop doesn't get that hot, I can just pick up the pot, wipe, and keep on cooking. It even has a timer that shuts off the burner when it's done. [/quote]
