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.
You will not have a problem maintaining a boil on induction. The cycling isn’t nearly as slow as with radiant electric. And the top heat output is generally much higher with induction.
