I've never had that problem with my new one..... :-)
It heats about as fast as a "normal" element burner, and when I DO have
to clean burnt residue with the razor scraper, I then polish it when it
is cool with the porcelain polish. The top looks good as new.

Overall, I think that regular stoves are a pain in the tailfeathers to
clean. The glass top stoves are a breeze as there are no burners to take
apart! I always hated that.
