Finally had the GE induction cooktop installed after waiting almost 3 months after the order. COVID delays are hitting many manufacturers.
I'm already seeing a few very tiny scratches in the glass/crystal surface of the top. I quickly realized that the glass is no match for cast iron. One source on the internet recommended putting a paper towel underneath cast iron to protect from scratches, and that seemed to work, but I wonder if even this thin layer separating the pan from the surface reduces the efficiency?
Today just noticed a new scratch from a stainless steel soup pot that I thought was nearly spotless underneath. I'm not attached to the cosmetic beauty of having a spotless shiny cooktop surface, but I want my investment to last. Perhaps others who have experience with induction cooktops could weigh in and give counsel.
thank you,
