I am surprised as well.  I thought those glass hobs cooked by induction 
(which is why you need a dead flat base to your pans) and as soon as the 
power goes off so does the induction effect.  Any residual cooking after 
that comes from the heat of the pan, as it would on a gas stove.

Having been used to gas I now have in my new apartment an electric hob 
with solid plates which take an age to heat up.  I thought I had given 
those up when I was ordained and now I have to get used to the darn 
things again as I don't do enough cooking to make it worth replacing 
with a more responsive hob.
