it's hard to find gas here in the mountains and I hate my electric glasstop stove. such a pain in the ass to clean. the slightest boil over creates a huge mess.

We got an electric induction stove top and it’s awesome. Energy efficient and also responsive, ie it heats up fast and cools down fast so there is little wasted energy. I think it works based on magnetism rather electricity heating a coil. You need special pots and pans that react to the magnets.
You don't want a boilover? Do this: do not cover the pot but place a wooden spoon across the top. No more boilover. Works like a charm. Who knows why? But it does. There have been no boilovers in the years since we started doing it.
In what scenario is placing the wooden spoon a functional substitute for covering the pot? Why not just leave it uncovered?
When we bought our house I told the realtor during the due diligence period that if we couldn’t convert from electric to gas on the stove we didn’t want the house.
Cool that you choose an article that quotes a wake professor
