Reply to comment by Scuka1 in LPT: clean your stovetop after using the oven. The heat loosens grime for easy removal by Cando232

If you can at all, get an induction hob. It's actual witchcraft. All the power and accuracy of gas burners, with the cleanliness of an electric one. Nothing ever gets burnt onto an induction hob.

Everyone talks about how great induction is but I absolutely hate the one in my apartment. It feels like a worse version of electric cooktops

The stove in your apartment is likely to be a flat-top, infrared stove. This is not the same as a true induction stove.

Infrared stoves are far cheaper and suck Satan gonads.

Infrared may suck in comparison to induction, but it's still better than traditional electric (with the big fat exposed coils) in my experience.

Neither traditional electric nor infrared is very good at providing a lot of heat. However, infrared adjusts very quickly and heats more evenly, and it's way easier to clean.

Yes, but they're both terrible at heat management. Their elements are either off or surface of the sun hot with no in between.

Does it light up red? Does it get warm without a pot on it? Then it's maybe an infrared one, and those suck, but not as hard as resistance heaters.
