I keep seeing people say this as a benefit of glass-top electrics, but this has never been the case with any one of those I've used. A boil-over invariably leaves a grimy black ring that can't be scrubbed off even with hours of scrubbing. So they end up looking grimy.
Meanwhile, my sealed gas burners are easy to get clean. I just sweep up the crumbs and then dump some boiling water and a couple drops of dish soap and wipe it up.
I just spent almost two weeks on vacation in an apartment with an induction stove. I've had gas my whole life. I was impressed. It heated the pans faster and more evenly, the temperature was more tuneable and it was easy to clean.
While standard resistive stoves do get those rings, the inductive one almost certainly wouldn't, because the glass only gets heated by the pan, rather than the other way around.
The only difficulty was the Samsung UX. It was a bit of a chore to get the pan centered on the coil, and there was insufficient feedback when you got it right or wrong and if it wasn't in the right place it just wouldn't work. I got used to it, but I'd have liked some better markings, and an LED ring that would show when it was on. It also didn't automatically heat the pan quickly on startup. You had to set it to 9, then back off, otherwise it would heat the pan on a duty cycle.
If I were to upgrade my kitchen, I'd absolutely go with induction. However, even beyond my usual research, I'd make damn sure I got the best option on this. I love cooking too much to screw it up.
We were going to go with induction, but it was just too expensive.
My main beef is that I have pretty thorough knowledge of appliance warranties and induction stoves are near impossible to repair. I think it's partially because the techs don't know how they actually work, so getting an accurate diagnosis was rough. Most of the time they had to be replaced outright.
If I were to get one I'd probably get a countertop one with a single burner so that if it fails I don't have to replace the whole induction range, I can just replace that single point of failure.
You also need specific cookware and we'd have to replace a lot of ours.
You mean no aluminium or copper? Im not sure if that's difficult tp remember or do. Am i missing something?
No glass either. We have a bunch of glass pots.
Pick up a portable induction HOB and use it on the side. Even though the cheap ones are pretty crappy in many regards, they still work great for what they are and give a good idea of what to expect from a high quality one.
Side note on cost, the inflation reduction act provides rebates to switch to induction.
What were you using to clean? I've been able to get those rings off with the regular glass cooktop cleaner and a little elbow grease. You could probably use something a little more abrasive but still glass-safe if you wanted.
My main issue was it's harder to get greases off completely instead of leaving a slight streaky film, but that's mostly just an aesthetic concern.
I'm using a non-scratching scrubbing pad and the recommended stovetop cleaner. I can get most of the worst of it, but there's always a ring of carbonized food that just sticks around.
I expect it would depend on what cleaning product you use. Bar Keepers Friend does wonders on stainless steel; perhaps it's safe for glass as well?
Admittedly we've only had it about a month now, but it's been fine so far.
A word of warning: if it's a Samsung appliance it will fail within the first year, or right outside of it. Samsung appliances are garbage, their electronics are solid.
Even the electronics are kinda crap, the number of samsung monitors I've seen die on people is absurd, and then they try to weasel out of the warranty
It's a GE.
