I just moved from a house with a gas range - I’ve had gas cookers for more than 20 years - to one with an induction stove. I’ve never used induction before but it’s really great. For every minor niggle with the induction unit, like the odd noise, there seems to be a matching benefit, like not scalding myself on the waste heat from the gas.
The best part is that it gets every hit as hot as a gas stove, maybe even hotter, and as I discovered just yesterday, you can set the temperature below boiling to keep something warm. I’ve never been able to do that with gas.
The fact that it can be made to be green makes me very happy.
- BostonEnginerd 5y agoI love our induction stove - on the same burner that I can boil a full pot of water in 2m, I can keep a soup going at a precise simmer. I could never get our old gas stove setup that precisely.
- chadlavi 5y agoMy concern would be this: cheap ass landlords are going to just install horrible, low quality electric ring ranges in apartments, not nice induction ranges. Gas is millions of times better than those electric ring ranges.
- loeg 5y agoThey already do that.
- CydeWeys 5y agoYou can't charge luxury prices if your apartment has a shitty stovetop. This is something the market will fix.
- coffeefirst 5y agoOh, you absolutely can. A lot of "luxury" buildings are superficial branding with low-end appliances. Sometimes they're fine. Sometimes you wind up with an oven that takes two hours to pre-heat, and when you tell maintenance it's broken you discover they're all like that. Granted, most of those places didn't have gas to begin with.
