    My last apartment had a new stove with a glass top and it worked decently. I like how the glass top makes it extra counter space, it's nice to have in a small space.

    I have a cheap induction thing that fits one pan and it works well, but not with any of my nonmagnetic pans. If I could I'd buy all new pans and an induction stove, but that is probably quite expensive. Those cheap Lodge cast iron pans work well with induction, though.

    I just looked it up and induction is 85-90% efficient, compared to 65-70% for gas or electric. That gas part doesn't sound right, but induction uses magnets and I don't know how the fuck those work either.

        i bought some tin foil type liners at the dollar store, a half dozen each small and large for $4.99, when enough shit falls on them and burns, i just replace the liner. its more expensive i guess but i replace one liner a month because im a messy bitch

      House I'm in has one of these, the glass top is really nice for cleaning since all you have to do is hit it with some soap and wipe it down. No more scrubbing funk off of those iron things that hold your pot above the flame spouts.
