coil stoves are okay provided they have glass tops, i have a coil stove with fucking cast iron plates on it which are IMPOSSIBLE to clean and they stay hot for ages after i'm done cooking..

still perfectly fine to cook with, though. it's just that anything else is even better.

i thought coil stoves with glass on top were induction stoves? i have the coil stove with the coil exposed. its a peice of shit but i have no choice since i live in a apartment.

no, you can tell whether it's an induction stove if it doesn't get hot, induction stoves heat up the pot by vibrating the magnetic metal atoms in it.

regular coil stoves are resistive, that's why transparent-topped ones glow, the coil is literally glowing hot like an old light bulb.
