It's a long time since I had a gas stove, so I don't think I can make a direct comparison, but I haven't had any problems with uneven heating. And mine can be set to maintain a specific temperature (rather than being set to high, medium, or low) which is nice for deep frying, or simmering something a long time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So how are the glass pots going to work for you, -t?

The elvish device is in addition to the mundane electric stove that doesn't care what kind of pots I use.

Go not to the elves for cooking, for they will run both hot and cold.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I am so confused. Elven stoves? Do the elves come in and cook for you too, or is this just a stove that utilizes elven technology? I think I need to go see what the previous posts were about.

I love the concept of induction cooktops, but they work best with flat ferrous-metal-bottom pans. None of mine are really flat any more or ferrous. The advantage is that since they heat by exciting the electrons in the metal, the temperature control is very precise and the burner area doesn't get hot.
I hate baking in a gas oven, plus I really prefer electricity, which doesn't explode. Also, the residual combustion products aren't really good for things like asthma.

SIGN. ME. UP.
Which reminds me of a recent conversation with Dad:
Me: "Why aren't we a family that got a house elf?"
Dad: "That part of the family disowned us. Plus we moved, so your acceptance letter for Hogwarts got to us a couple years late."

If you were going to write to Joseph Stiglitz, and he did not already know you, would you refer to him as "Dr. Stiglitz" or "Professor Stiglitz"?
