The disadvantages are you must clean it as soon as it cools with special
cleaners or staining can occur (tomato or other acidic liquids need
immediate clean-up or etching can occur) , prone to breaking if something
is droped on it...you need very smooth bottomed pots so you don't ware away
the painted on elements. If you scratch or crack the painted on element you
need a whole new cooking top (big bucks). Seems kinda touchy/labour
intensive for the price. Plus I ain't buying all new pots just for good
looks. There's more to life than pandering to a stove.
