IME when my glass top was actually working, it was even better than an
open electric coil. Excess heat not being used by the pan was disbursed
thru the ceramic surface.

I do miss that stove. <sigh>

I'll eventually replace it when I want to allocate the money for it.

It's seriously easier to keep clean!

Right now it's just a fire resistant countertop to use for the plug in
appliances...

The stove top is fine. It's the oven that is shot. I had to unplug the
stove when the oven kept coming on by itself. :-(

I wonder if there is a way to safely disable the oven? I really don't
need it.
