    It’s funny because while I didn’t comment on the previous post about the superior burner location, I do happen to have an induction range that has the big coil in the front right. So I get to have a side in both conflicts!

    Seriously though, induction is the undisputed winner. We’ve had this thing for years, and whatever price premium I paid to move up to a lower priced induction model was totally worth it.

    That big “burner” plus my big nitrided carbon steel pan is my go-to now to start like 80% of things I cook on the stove. Not counting heating up water in the kettle daily, though. That uses the small burner behind the big one. Then there are two mediums on the left. Or maybe it’s small, two large, and one XL.

    Within two weeks my gas stove and oven are getting chucked out the door. Replaced with an induction stove top and a convection/steam oven/air fryer.

        Call me a dumbass, but until a couple of years ago I had no clue anything was unhealthy about gas.

        CH4 + O2 + fire -> CO2 + H2O

        I suspect most of Gen X and earlier still believe gas stoves to be harmless.

    Can’t justify it. I run one burner on my gas stove for about seven minutes a day. That’s it. It’s paid for and gas is dirt cheap here. Seven minutes a day gas fume exposure is not what will end up killing me.

    Sure, if you cook all day, reducing big pots of stock for hours at a time, etc., then it makes sense. But, it’s not for everyone.

      They definitely make induction stoves that are just the countertop part. I have one on my boat. Theoretically you could put one of those over a “regular” gas oven, but the gas ovens almost always have a stove built in.

        Faster pre heat? Gas puts out more BTUs but Induction stoves are great because they heat the pans directly, where gas heats the air under the pan as well as the pan. Baking however, requires you to heat the air in the oven, so gas is faster and more efficient for baking than it is for heating a pan.

        I bet if you made the induction coils stronger, it could work on aluminum

        (Imagines an induction stove surface powerful enough to induce heat in non-ferromagnetic metals. Shudders in fear. Twitches in excitement)

        People with proper stoves.

        And I’ve got a lighter, it weighs 200lb, has four burner heads and gets my hair for me at the same time.

            Dr says the fumes are good for my mental health.

            Handheld lighters are fine for beginners or if you really need to be able to move your lighter, but if you look at any enthusiast or professional setup you’re gonna see fixed / static lighters most of the time. Handheld lighters just don’t have the stability or lighting capacity needed for more serious applications.

    My neighbor’s daughter bought an induction stove for her best friend who happens to be a trans dwarf porn star. She goes by Munchkin Cock Jenny and let me tell you she can cook a hell of a good meal on that thing. She hosted us all for Thanksgiving breakfast last year and made Vienna sausages with coconut rice and strawberry rhubarb pie, all mixed together on the stovetop. None of it got hot because she just placed it all on the surface but at least she tried. She died of meningitis about 4 hours after we left which is unfortunate because whoever had to deal with her estate had to clean the stovetop.
