I don't have a fancy temperature control, but I had just moved from gas stove to glass top electric* and and I got tired of waiting sooo long to hopefully get to a good cooking temp, only to ruin things by finding out the answer was no.

So a bought a hand-held laser-pointer-temperature gun at the hardware, wow, it's fantastic. Now I know what temps are for what (it's remarkably similar to the oven, 325 to 450) and I know how to find them and how quickly on my stove.

*what is with Miele appliances, they all suck, range, convection oven, microwave. the UIs are impossible.

Great idea; I've used an electric hob my whole life and hate my glasstop electric for everything but cleaning it.
