​Baltimore Used Appliances has a great selection of new and used electric stoves. Come in and see what we have. Unlike gas where they are all basically the same and the main difference is the number of burners and a few other features, electric stoves have three main types, coil, smooth-top models and induction top models.

---

Coil-top Electric Stoves

Features:

• These are the least expensive stoves
• Usually available in black or white porcelain enamel surface
• Indicator lights to indicate the burner is on.

Drawbacks:

• Coil elements are slower to heat and cool
• Coils need to be removed to be able to clean completely
• Frequently don’t distribute heat evenly
• Easier to burn yourself because the indicator light goes off when the burner is off but still may be quite hot.

Smooth-top Electric Stoves

Features:

• The top is one piece of ceramic glass which makes cleaning these electric stoves easy
• The heating elements are under the glass and are a solid disk making heating more even
• Has lights to indicate not only that the heating element is on but also when it is cooling down.
• Options include self-cleaning and convection ovens

Drawbacks:

• The ceramic glass surface can scratch.
• It is the most popular model but is more expensive.
• Cast iron, glass cookware and stoneware can scratch the surface. Use stainless steel or copper pots and pans.
• Unlikely but overheated metal pots or pans can bond with the glass ceramic surface.

Induction-top Electric Stoves

These stovetops are known for very fast cooking. Strangely, they don’t use heat, or at least they don’t make the heat in the normal way. Only certain types of cookware can be used. The induction-top stove uses magnetic pulse technology to heat the cooking container. If a magnet sticks to your pot or pan, it will work. Since it is the pot that heats up, the glass ceramic surface actually stays cool. We get fewer of these as used appliances.
Features:

• Boils water 50% faster than gas or other electric stoves.
• Very energy efficient. 90% goes to cooking the food vs 65% for normal electric and 50% for gas.
• No knobs or dials, but touchscreen control.
• Easy cleaning since it has glass ceramic surface.

​Drawbacks:

• Some cookware will not work with an induction stovetop.
• They are the most expensive of the stoves.

 Oven

The oven will be the same no matter which type of stove top range you have. Knowledgeable cooks frequently prefer electric ovens because they are better for baking due to the dry heat. The ovens will have different features depending on the model such as self cleaning and convection cooking.
