In general, I'm curious about the good and bad features of electric ranges with tops that are flat surfaces (for a kitchen with an outlet for an electric range, but no gas). In particular, I'd like to buy a model where the front and sides of the range don't get hot when only the cooktop is used.
My folks had a furniture and appliance store. We always called them burners on electric stoves.
If you need convincing, just put your hand on one that is glowing red and then tell me it didn't burn.
