"Glass top" does not mean induction. We had an old glass top ten years ago. It had resistance could that got hot underneath the glass top provide heat. They aren't different/better than the old electric stoves that we probably saw when we were young that had the red flowering electric coils.
Induction is magnetic and requires ferrous cookware. You can turn the tap on high and put you hand on it and you will never be burned.
The get instantly hot (actually the put gets hot not the cooktop) and when you turn it off it's essentially instantly cool enough to touch with your hand.
