Spending some time at my folks' place and using their glass-ceramic electric cooktop.

Let me tell you folks, once you start to get the brain nugget that gas stoves aren't that great you start to even appreciate bog-standard electric stoves.

It is so nice to be able to stir a simmering pot without the exhaust (!) flying around the pot and searing your hand a little.

And you know what? I even ran into that problem where you can't just turn the burner down because of the thermal inertia. Nearly had a pot boil over.

But upon reflection, I think I would rather get used to that then deal with the indoor air pollution. And, like I said, it is legitimately easier from a heat-on-skin perspective cook with an electric stove. That's kinda cool, actually.

@TechConnectify you should try induction (or rather your folks) - it’s far more controllable and the heat is even more directed to the base of the pot or pan. I’d say you could find a videos worth of material in it - there are nuances to get accustomed to with it
