We are looking at new electric stoves. Does anyone understand the options?

Specifically wondering the types of surface units (burners). Are there various options or modes: constant current (constant heat flow), or temperature control (on/off cycling, or variable current). The old stoves were mostly constant current surface units. The new flat top stoves seem to cycle somehow (temperature controlled?). I have no idea how inductive works. We have gas now which is constant heat flow of course.

Why I ask is I’m not very interested in this cycling stuff at all, and temperature control only.

Thoughts, recommendations, or experiences?

Thanks.

    I have one of those single induction stove things.

    It gets very hot. My wife never goes above level 3 or 4 out of like 10 when cooking. The only time she will go higher if she is boiling water.

      Agreed, 3-4 seems to be a sweet spot, 10 seems to be pretty much only for boiling water. 🤣
