You’ll pry my gas stove out of my dead cold hands.

NGL as someone who jumped ship from the gas camp to induction, Induction is really incredible just how much better it is.

Everything about it is better with the exception of an annoying buzz from the induction on occasion.

- My carbon steel pans get to temp basically instantly.

- My cast iron gets to temp in a fraction of the time it took on my gas stove.

- It also works fantastically on my stainless steel pots and tbh it feels like I can get a pot of water to boil in half the time.

- Cleaning induction surfaces is way easier.

- For "specialty stuff" like woks, curved induction is so much cheaper, more convenient, safer, and more approachable than the equivalent gas setups.

This isn't me trying to suggest anyone should be forced to give up gas. It definitely has it's uses. However I really have to recommend trying out a nice, modern induction setup. They are like fucking magic.

I assumed the parent comment was a joke considering the article subject

You forgot the cost. Gas is much cheaper than electricity in most places.

Induction is notorious for warping carbon steel pans. It's supposed to be the worst option for them.

Basically instantly? How do induction hobs defy the laws of physics?

If the massive difference is the pan type, why isn't it almost instant with gas?

Or do gas hobs output way way less energy than an induction hob?

How many kilowatts is yours?
