I can sympathize with the desire to have gas but what I can't accept is people who want massive BTU stoves with inadequate ventilation or worse none. Honestly, I'm surprised that a lot of building codes are so lax.
My preferred setup would be 4 induction burners with one or two gas burners. I understand if you have a house without gas, it does't feel worthwhile to just have one or two burners. Induction would be the daily drivers, i.e. boiling water. The gas would for occasions where I want tighter heat control or want to use a pot/pan that doesn't work with induction.
- userbinator 5y agoor worse none I've never seen a stove without a vent hood above it...?
- nightfly 5y agoI have. I've also seen vent hoods that don't actually dump to the outside, they just pass through a small filter and dump the air right back inside...
- londons_explore 5y agoWhich is okay if it's a carbon filter to remove smells and nox you're going to change every year. But many are just mesh grease filters and are never changed.
- marcianx 5y agoI've seen a bunch in NYC, especially in older apartment studios.
- raffraffraff 5y agoIn Europe (or at least big tea drinking Nations like Ireland and the UK) electric kettles are in every home, and they can boil 1l of water in just over 2 minutes. So while I have a gas range stove, I actually use the kettle to boil water for tea, coffee, rice, pasta, stock etc. Other small appliances like air fryers and standalone induction hobs reduce reliance on the has burners. And from a "green" perspective, switching to an induction stove would mean junking a 100kg stove. I'll probably never change my stove.
- silverlake 5y agoI have this setup. Gas is for wok cooking, roasting directly on flame, some pans not induction capable. Induction for 95% of cooking tasks. We use gas so infrequently I’m not sure it’s worth it for us.
