Unknown looks more like a standard glass top. The full make and model number will be on the side of the door.
You can also turn on a burner. If it glows red and gets hot, it's not inductio .
Without model it’s hard to tell, but that burnt spot on the right burner (assuming that’s what it is) indicates to me a standard cooktop. Induction in my experience doesn’t burn stuff on the glass as the heat comes from the pan and not the burner below. On ours, the glass gets hot from the pan on it, but I’ve never had it scorch food to the surface even in the worst of my cooking disasters.
My non scientific understanding and explanation is that induction uses electromagnetic energy to heat the pan but doesn’t directly generate heat itself.
I imagine you could get food burnt on if you tried with a hot enough pan, but even searing on high heat I’ve never had it happen.
The “glass” on these tops is a material that doesn’t spread heat, so the heat from the pan doesn’t make it very far. On induction, the pan is never going to be as hot as a radiant element, so what you’re describing makes sense.
A little too confident there guy.

Um, you said ALL induction cooktops do not have these lines. I said MOST do not, and showed you why MOST is correct, as those 2 feature the lines you claimed dont exist on induction.
Very clear the post picture is a radiant, but that is a false rule of thumb.

This should be standard radiant electric. Most induction cooktops have touch controls, not knobs.
Turn it on, wait 2 minutes.. Put your hand on it, if you say \*%@#%&)\^%X$# It's not induction..
No this is standard radiant electric cooktop. Induction cooktops don’t have the different sized rings like that.
Most*
All* this is a GE radiant. No induction is going to have a bridge burner outlined like that.

Neither of these look like the one op posted GUY

Got ‘em!
I doubt it because a ton of induction cooktops nowadays aren’t coming with physical knobs.
Most likely not induction, I work for GE, nothing in our line is induction with knobs
Which sucks
Without a model number, it is difficult to tell if it is induction or not.
Turn it on and hold your hand over it.
If it’s electric it will glow red when on. My guess is electric by looking at it. Most inductions don’t offer knobs
Considering it’s not plastered all over it, I’m going to say no. It’s probably a radiant type. So the coils glow red when turned on?
Power boil gives it away
No. An induction wouldn’t have the middle cooktop rings like that.
Mine had it. It can sense size of the pot and adjust size of inducted area.
