    No food you eat is going to touch it + annoying to clean, so ends up lower priority than other surfaces.

      Know why it’s annoying to clean? Because you left the dirt on it for a while, and successive heat events from your regular cooking baked it into the surface.

      Source: I do this, and when my partner or my mother cook, they easily wipe the surface off every time with a wet rag. I wait ages, and have to clean it with a scrubber and Jif.

        Because there are hot bits you can’t touch for a while afterwards that stick out of it + control nobs.

        I do get the appeal of inductions because of that, would still want analog controls for them though.

          Induction cooktop, definitely want one at some point. I’ve seen what a proper one can do and now I’m finally okay with switching over from the beloved gas burner I’ve always thought was king.

            I have a regular electric stove top. I want a gas stove in my house because the heat stops when the gas stops :/
