Smooth-top cooktops are made of smooth glass-ceramic with heating units under the surface. Electric coils are burners that convert the electricity that runs into the coil into heat. Induction cooktops use heat created from electromagnetic energy to cook your food. The element below the glass cooktop creates a magnetic field when an object containing iron is placed on top. Electric ovens use heating elements inside the oven to heat the enclosure.\u003C/p> A gas cooktop, range, or oven uses gas to cook the food on the stovetop and inside the oven. Gas stovetops tend to cook more evenly than electric, but gas ovens often do not cook as evenly as electric ovens. A dual-fuel range solves this problem by combining a gas stovetop with an electric oven.\u003C/p>","contentType":"SEO_TEXT_BLURB"}]}]},"isSmall":false},{"f":1}]],"t":["b32sI9g"]})
