Yes, there are induction stoves.
These use magnets to heat the pan directly, instead of heating an element which then conducts heat into the pan.
Since they don’t rely on resistive heating, they can actually be controlled in a much more precise manner. Maybe under the hood this actually involves cycling of the heat, but the result is something that for all intents and purposes “maintains temperature”
You can only use pans made of certain metals, which is the main drawback besides expense. No aluminum




My gas stove has one really big burner for when you need extra heat, and one really small burner for super low heat. It’s pretty nifty.
