So use a double boiler. ;-)

No more so than chipping porcelain paint.
The pans were never a big issue. I use my cast iron most frequently.
You just cannot use heat rings, or convex pots like woks. So I got an
electric wok.

I do have an old pressure cooker I like to use that has a slightly
convex bottom, so I just stabilize it so it does not rock. I really
ought to just buy a new one.

We've had this stove for 5 years now and have not chipped, scratched,
nor cracked the glass top. I did pay a little extra to get the double
laminate that they told me was a bit stronger.

Indoor grilling on gas... :-)
You just have to make sure it's vented to the outside!

I'd love to build an outdoor kitchen with one of those!
