What sort of kitchen cooktop do you have ? Electric (what sort) ? Gas? Something different ?

Mine is a four element standard electric open coil type linked with a normal size fan-foced oven.

The cooktop and oven are quite old and have been here since I started renting the house in mid 2018 (I bought the house last year).

I'm considering upgrading the cooking appliances but have no idea about modern stuff. I can't get gas unless I go for gas cylinders as there is no street gas supply here.

So only feasible option is electric.

Electric. It's disgusting at the moment and needs cleaning but there are no women around to clean it :(

This is the current one. Got to be 20+ yrs old.

@zonavar68 Look. If it still works for you, fine. But my wife was having memory lapses, some years ago, so when the kitchen was up for updating I insisted on the induction for safety. And its been great, once you adjust. Of course, those old electric elements can be replaced. The cooktop is a single unit, so there is that. But so far no bother..😷

Electric induction. We had to got that way when wife started forgetting those things were on or off.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Induction cooktops seem a bit scary.

@zonavar68 Actually way safer and more accurate to use than gas or coil electric. No chance of burning the house down. But you cant use cheap aluminium or non ferrous pots and pans..A rule of thumb is if a fridge magnet wont stick to it, it wont work..😷
