QuestionWhat is physical/operating difference between "Black" cooktop and "Stainless Steel" cooktop? I assume that the Black is made of different material, but what is it? Thank you.
Asked 5 years ago by Curious.
- Answer "Black " is black glass, I think to the edges. "Stainless" is also black glass with a very narrow stainless steel edging all around.
