Burns can be brutal. I recently got rid of my 50 year old stove and got a stainless steel black glass top stove. one Burner goes from cold to hot in 30 seconds. My mind had to adjust from 3+ minutes on old to 30 seconds on new. Of course, you have to test a new stove to see if burner is warming up OUCH Won't do that again. Blisters on sewing hand, packed in ice for 24 hours, gone. Please be careful, its not fun.
