Glad my new house has an induction range. I love cooking with gas stoves, and have done so for most of my life, but these studies about the emission of benzene and other pollutants from natural gas has had me rethinking this. Until recently I was using a gas range without any active ventilation, at best I opened the kitchen window and used a fan to try and exhaust heat and smoke from cooking when necessary. Now, having used induction for a while, I can say that I barely miss my old gas stove. I just hope, like smoking, any damage I’ve incurred will repair itself with time.
Keep in mind you should still ventilate when cooking on induction, even when not actively burning your food, it still generates lots of nasty stuff
