I used a big cast iron pan on an electric stove for years. It takes a while to heat up but not to the point where it’s a large burden.

I just love cooking everything with it, including eggs.

The weight of the cast iron also helps even out cooking on electric stovetops since they cycle the heat on and off.

Unfortunately with electric stovetops, pans only get heated under the electric source. I love my large cast iron frying pan but only getting heat in the center makes cooking with it a pain/doesn't work well. Gas stoves don't have this problem as the heat from the burner rises up and around the pan heating it all up.

Induction, on the other hand, works great with cast iron.
