As another commenter said, it was electric but "vitro ceramic", so terrible performance and pretty dangerous. This actually gave gas a "better rap".
Now I honestly only use gas at the moment because I moved in recently enough that I haven't bother to change - but it's getting higher on n my list every day...
- formerly_proven 5y ago> it was electric but "vitro ceramic", so terrible performance and pretty dangerous How exactly is that dangerous?
- mikeyouse 5y agoAs one anecdote, since there’s no flame (vs gas stove) and the surface is happy to heat whatever is on it (vs induction which needs a magnetic metal) — my cousin burned down their family home by setting her book bag on the stove after school one day. It’s unclear how it got turned on but the end result was pretty terrible for them and likely wouldn’t have happened with a different stove.
- UncleMeat 5y agoA gas burner will happily light a book bag on fire.
- mikeyouse 5y agoRight, but you'd notice if there was a flame burning when you set your bag on it, unlike the electric element. This was 20+ years ago though, and I believe they all have the illuminated cooking positions when the burners are active now.
- worik 5y agoWe have one of these. It is a nice flat surface in the kitchen, and too many things in my household have been burnt by being placed on it. They are easier to clean....
