How to adjust, especially braise, with an electric stove? Best pots to use?

Help! I just moved & new house has an electric stove, specifically, a Verona. It is glass-topped electric. I have only used gas & am finding the transition really difficult. I used more than anything else in my old home enamel pots, kind of small Dutch ovens, which could start out browning/braising on the stove, move to the oven, then to the table. I understand enamel is out with electric. I have a few stainless pans & want to get more, but I want stainless that can function as my enamel did--lidded, can braise, & go from stove to oven to table. Is there any product like that? Techniques? Spouse picked out the house. I didn't see the stove till I moved in, so it's really thrown me. It has multiple broil functions & fans, which I gather is European, but I don't really understand that either & am not getting clear info online. I'm willing to invest in good pieces that will last, but I'm not sure what kind of pots or brands would work for what I want. Bonus for Italians or Italy-lovers out there who can tell me what pot would make Sunday gravy on an electric stove.

No personal experience, but there are reviews and lists of, for example, the ten best lines of cookware to use with electric stove.
Included are two or three versions each of all-clad and lagostina.
Look for independent or well known reviewers like Consumer Reports and America’s Test Kitchen.

PS congrats on the new house! And remember it’s usually better to buy individual pans for the way you cook than sets.
