My landlord just replaced the old stove with stoves that have
glass/ceramic tops. The thing is that I have water boiled
in a metalic pot. To me it seems to pick up a metalic taste.

The other thing is that I can figure out from the directions
whether or not it is OK to use a glass teapot on glass topped stove.
Also if I do use it, do I use the circular metalic thingy ( that came
with the pot ) that you are supposed to use with an electric oven?

If not are there nonmetallic alternate pots that can be used?
