Thanks, Steve, I've been reading a lot and this is pretty straightforward to
me, too. What is confusing to me and I'm going to have to look out for it
in my purchase is for instance, I looked at maybe 15 of ranges in Sears
(different brands), and I assumed that they were all 'induction,' now I'm
not sure what the heck they were. Now that I know induction, I'm wondering
what the heck the other ranges are that have that smooth look, so I can ask,
"Is this induction, or Is this halogen, or Is this whut! I looked at the
GE online that was referenced and I nothing about what the smooth top
actually is. I can look-see whether it is coil or gas, but the smooth top
without any further description is still beyond me.

Thanks again,
Dee
