Thanks, Samuel, That was a good explanation. I searched the topic, and learned a lot quickly. There is a lot of easily found information. I saw a video in which a chef cooked something and explained the process. Basically, you are cooking with more power and heat, and more quickly. You can buy anything from a $150 countertop unit, to a full stove for several thousand. I didn't search the talking one you mentioned, but, will get to that, just to know. This was fun searching and learning.

It is electric, but most of the hob around the pan stays cool. This means you can touch the surface of the top without burning yourself.
