Though I do like the stainless steel as it would have suited my oven which was stainless steel. I choose a black ceramic top when we went electric because my kitchen is mostly black. Re: Do you regret getting a ceramic cooktop? 18Feb 25, 2011 9:30 pm In the old house we had a free standing gas oven/cooktop which I loved. Moved into our temp accom while we built and had a black ceramic electric cooktop which I detested! I felt I couldn't look at it without it marking or scratching in some way. I used Cerapol as well, which was great, but I felt I had to scub and scrub and scrub. There were scratches on it too. I MUCH prefer gas stainless steel....but I might try the Cerapol on the glass in the oven! Henley - Wilshire Mk 3 ... I love my house!!

Oh well. Maybe it's the black. I tried the cerapol stuff and it helped a bit but wasn't anywhere near 100%. They do a protective coating too. ( same company) but they've never had any in stock at my local shops. Re: Do you regret getting a ceramic cooktop? 20Aug 13, 2017 11:18 am TOTALLY YES. I know this is an older post, but maybe, like me, someone is looking for opinions. Bought mine just over 12 months ago - it turns off when it thinks it is overheating so temperature fluctuates all the time. I was super aware of scratching it and was diligent in using the RIGHT products for cleaning and sealing, BUT it still scratched and I have regretted the decision almost from day 1. The child-lock must be held down for 5 seconds before it will turn on - drove me nuts, so I disabled it. There is a chip out of the centre back glass at the edge - how that would happen is a mystery...we didn't have the option of gas but I would NEVER do ceramic again. It looks lovely and streamlined, but SO impractical. Stir-fries always end up boiled vegetables because it never gets hot enough. Good luck with yours - maybe mine was just a dud. My daughter and son in law are about to start building, they are having a 600mm induction cook top and 900mm oven.
