> They’re useless to cook on.

I'd say this is a bit of an overreaction. They're definitely terrible to time correctly, heat-wise. But they also can definitely cook. I've made a rib-eye steak medium rare just fine on a cast iron using reverse-sear between oven and the glass range.

The part I really hate is how careful I need to be not to damage the glass when using a heavy pan like that.

You've done a pretty good job listing all of the reasons that they aren't vey good. In a small apartment, with limited time, and space the extra aggravation really adds up.

OP specifically said "They're useless to cook on" and I provided an example of an excellent dish that uses an electric stove.

So, that would certainly seem to disprove their comment because I did in fact cook something, which implies it isn't useless.

I don't think that is an overreaction. When looking for a place to live. Gas stove and induction oven are a hard requirement

If it doesn't have that...pass immediately

Do you mean convection oven?
