We are looking at new electric stoves. Does anyone understand the options?
Specifically wondering the types of surface units (burners). Are there various options or modes: constant current (constant heat flow), or temperature control (on/off cycling, or variable current). The old stoves were mostly constant current surface units. The new flat top stoves seem to cycle somehow (temperature controlled?). I have no idea how inductive works. We have gas now which is constant heat flow of course.
Why I ask is I’m not very interested in this cycling stuff at all, and temperature control only.
Thoughts, recommendations, or experiences?
Thanks.
If you want to go electric, then induction is definitely the best. Be aware that you need to make sure your cookware is conductive (if you can stick a magnet to it, you are probably good).
I would stick with the gas, personally.
