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.
Honesty it is, I feel bad for anyone struggling with poor tools but once you really learn to cook, you can turn any source of heat into good cooking.
I lived for nearly a decade with a rusty old piece of shit from the 80’s, loose coils that only worked when you pressed down on one side, weird temperature controls that I eventually had to override, lots of problems to overcome. Did some of the best cooking of my life on that thing.
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.
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.

Bullshit

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

Seriously, give me a goddamn heat source and I will turn it into the finest shit you ever ate.

Either gross incompetence or lack of proper pans is at cause. Electric stoves are perfectly fine.
Curious how taking 20 minutes for a pot of water to boil could be “gross incompetence”.
