Two things here. I was forced to go induction when I moved house about fifteen years ago, and I love it. It's just better than gas. I'm terrible at many things, but I'm a good cook, and I can say, there's nothing I can do - nothing - that isn't better on induction. Admittedly, not crazy about the waste of new things, but even so, worth it.

Also, turns out, Big Natural Gas lied to you. It's dangerous (which the article states). This is a carrot and stick. I'm all electric, and working on solar soon.

this is why big gas is cranking up the propaganda on stoves. induction stoves are better, don't believe them

When people think of electric stoves, they think of resistance not induction. If people had more experience with induction, I'm sure they'd be less resistant to the change.

This should be required watching for every moron who claims gas is better.

If you need that instant temperature drop, remove it from the heat??

Also, induction is even better. Hopefully they become affordable and not priced like fancy appliances in the next decade.

Induction is great, switch 1 yr ago. Most cookware works, not just cast iron.

Pro tip: if want to know if your pan works with induction, take a magnet and see if it sticks to the pan. If it sticks, it will heat!

People here seem unaware that there exists a 3rd option that isn't either gas or induction - a ceramic hob is electric, heated coils under glass, but you can use it with any pot or pan, so there's no need to spend all that extra money replacing all your cookware, and the hob itself is cheaper too.

Spent the first 1/3 of adult life with gas and the latter 2/3 with electric. It's not hard to adapt cooking methods. Food still comes out just fine. It also makes one more adept at cooking when say, traveling and having to use who knows what terrible stove/cooking object.

I'd much rather figure out how to adapt to an electric cooking device that I could 100% self-power if need be, than continue to use an explosive cooking device pumping chemicals I don't want into my home because the natural gas companies don't processed the gas to remove them.

Gas had a place in homes in the 19th and early 20th century when we didn't know better, not anymore.

How many tons of co2/methane are emitted annually from residential ovens and ranges?

I feel like this number is small and am curious if anyone has chased this rabbit.

I love induction, myself, but if you need a flame, there's countertop burners to help with the transition. No need to pipe gas through the whole city. There was just a gas explosion in an empty house (two days after closing!) down the road from us.

There is a lot of tall about everyone replacing their stoves but it's expensive and really not needed. You can do 90% of your meals with counter top appliances and be good to go.

We have the following: portable induction cooktop top, 6 and 3 qt instapot, 5qt air fryer, and electric hot water kettle. These devices are used nearly everyday and if we need to use the gas stove we do, but it's pretty rare.

When the kitchen is renovated, an induction stove will be purchased, but for the last 5 years our counter top chefs have been great.
