1. Type of cooking surface. The cooking surface can be covered with glass ceramics or enamel (pig-iron rings). The glass-ceramic panel has the mass of advantages: high heat conductivity, usability, it has ideally plain surface therefore the pan will not be able to overturn. Usually such electric stoves have electronic control and various indicators (for example, the indicator of residual heat). But glass-ceramic plates are much more expensive, in comparison with pig-iron.
2. Size and form of rings. They have to correspond accurately to bottom of ware in which you prepare. In some glass-ceramic plates rings which can change geometry of work area are used. It allows to use various ware.
3. Type of heating coils. Pig-iron rings can be standard power, the express (the increased power) and automatic. Electric stoves with glass-ceramic surface can have normal, halogen, induction or rings of Hi-light. The standard ring quite slowly heats up and cools down.
