Electirc cooktops = smooth surface = need advice suggestions

Hi Everyone -

The time has come to replace our old coil cooktop from 1967. It was in the house when we bought it a couple years ago.

I want to get a smooth top but looking around this weekend it was so confusing. So many choices, options etc.

Between the single burner sizes varying so much - anywhere from 6 to 12" and then the dual or tri-ring burners and then some have a powerboil burner but I'm not sure if that burner can only be used for boiling or I can use it for normal cooking too.

Any suggestions or things I should look for that you enjoy most with your cooktop or things I should avoid?

These cooktops sure are expensive and I want to make the right choice but I"m so confused!

My old coil cooktop just had 4 burners and 2 were 6" and 2 were 7 1/2".

Thanks for your help!! Smile
