    Every elective stove I’ve used has sucked for controlling the temperature. I’ll deal with a little air pollution to have my food actually come out how I want it. Maybe induction ones are better but those are expensive.

      Yes, induction stoves are the solution. The way I went about it is I bought a secondhand hob for just $110. Works brilliantly, controls just as well as gas. As a bonus, pumping all the energy straight into the cookware makes it heat things up REAL fast.

      Regular electric stove is very inert, making it straight up impossible to do a lot of stuff.

        Never heard of these limitations. All I know is you can’t prep a tortilla the right way on gas stoves.

      I think it might simply be a matter of getting used to it. For example, i can cook well enough with an electric (induction) furnace but it’s difficult for me to use a gas stove without burning my food.

      Either gross incompetence or lack of proper pans is at cause. Electric stoves are perfectly fine.

          Try: putting it on the highest setting, Use less water (10+liter is a lot and can happen quickly in big pots), Plug it into 3 phase power Make sure to use the highest power section

          In a lot of cases ceran cooktops have higher power delivery to the pot than gas. Also read the manual for how much power each burner has.
