Best ceramic cooktop?

Answer 1

a ceramic cooktop is a ceramic cooktop is a cera--well- you get the idea.
you need to look at three things
1. price
2. warranty
3. style/appeal
the order is your choice. look for: easy to clean (do the knobs come off for cleaning) location of knobs (will splatter get on/under knobs) finish (stainless-polished-can not be scrubbed)(satin SS and porcelean can be scratched but are not a delicate as polished SS)

Answer 2

I've got a ceramic cooktop where I live now. I didn't buy it and it is the first time I've used one. It is dreadful.
If I heat something using boiled water from the kettle the circle on the cooktop doesn't heat up enough to keep the water hot. It's as though it says "ok the water is hot so I won't heat it anymore", so the water cools down instead of staying hot.
One of the circles has the option of using a small inside circle or a larger outside circle and it doesn't seem to operate as the switch setting would indicate.
All the circles take ages to heat up.
You have to be very careful with the bottom surfaces of your pans or you will scratch the cooktop surface irrevocably.
You must clean up all spills immediately or they will burn onto the surface and are very difficult to remove without damaging the surface.
It is a GE make. I don't know if I'm just unlucky or if all ceramic cooktops are like this.
