For a wide selection of used electric stoves, come to PG Used Appliances in Lanham, Maryland. We deliver to Prince George’s County, Montgomery County, Washington DC and the Virginia suburbs. You have options between stoves with ranges that have coil burners, smooth-top models and induction models.

Used Coil-top Electric Stoves

Benefits & Features:
  • These are the least expensive to make and therefor the cheapest to buy
  • White or black porcelain enamel coating and sometimes stainless steel
  • Indicator lights to tell you when the burner is on
Negatives:
  • Don’t distribute heat as evenly as the other models
  • The coils are slower to cool and heat vs other electric stoves
  • Cleaning is harder because you need to remove the coils to clean properly
  • Potential to burn yourself since the indicator light turns off when you turn off the burner, but the coil is still hot

Used Smooth-top Electric Stoves

​Benefits & Features:
  • Easy to clean because cooktop is one smooth surface of ceramic glass
  • The heating elements are a solid disk under the glass which makes the heating more even
  • Indicator lights tell you both when the stove is on and when it is still hot
  • Ovens include options of convection ovens and self-cleaning features
Negatives:
  • Although popular, it is also more expensive than the coil type
  • The ceramic glass can scratch more easily since the pots are right on the glass
  • Stainless steel and copper are the pots/pans to use. Cast iron, stoneware and glass cookware are not advised because they scratch the surface
  • Possibility of a metal pot bonding to the glass ceramic surface when overheated.

Used Induction-top Electric Stoves

PG Used Appliances sometimes get these but they are not as common as the used gas stoves and other used electric stoves. If you aren’t familiar with induction-top stoves, they cook very fast. They use electromagnetic pulses to heat the pot or pan on the stove and not the stove itself. It only works with pots that have iron in them, so cast iron or steel will work, although the cast iron may scratch the glass surface. If a magnet is attracted to the pot, it should work.

Features and Benefits:
  • Cook faster than gas or other electric stoves. Water boils 50% faster.
  • Doesn’t have any dials or knobs, just touchscreen control
  • Glass ceramic surface makes cleaning easy
  • Inexpensive to operate because of its energy efficiency. In other electric stoves 65% of the energy goes to cooking, 50% for gas, but it is 90% for induction-top stoves
Drawbacks:
  • Induction stoves are the most expensive type of stove
  • Only iron based cookware will work on an induction stove.

Ovens

Many cooks prefer electric heat for ovens because it is a dry heat which is better for baking. Whatever type of range / cooktop you have, the ovens will be essentially the same. There can be different features such as also having convection cooking or self cleaning.
