    I have not seen a electric convection stove in 10 years. Aren’t they all induction these days?

    And my plate top have the controls digitally/touch sensitive area on the top itself

      Hub, I’ve yet to live in a house with an induction stove. All electric ones have either been ancient coil ones or glass top convection stoves. Would love to get an induction one someday, though.

      Induction requires ferromagnetic pans. Also, they pull a shit ton more power than standard electric why actually heating up the pan (their “efficiency” comes from getting there much faster and then not having to waste as much heat maintaining the temp). So, there are plenty of older buildings that are not wired to be able to handle induction. So, standard electric stoves are still very common.

        Think this is an issue with me being Norwegian. Here I have not seen them in ages.I know that we had to put in two of those big plugs for oven and top when we built a new house in 2021. We considers buying and every house we looked at had induction.
