Maybe there should be a thread here for smoothtop vs. induction. Boy, oh,
boy,
I can't figure out what the difference is between smooth top vs. induction.
Can you give me some lessons.
You can email me if you wish or if you want to post
here or separately, no problem. Maybe there are others as clueless as me --
and I'm getting ready to get ready for purchase.
Thank you.
