I mean, they are probably okay if all you use it for is boil a pot of pasta or heat some soup. If you actually like cooking they are pretty much useless. It’s like working with one hand tied behind your back.

Lots of high end restaurants, full of people who actually like cooking, incorporate or even exclusively use induction.

It's one thing to have a preference, and another thing altogether to lie about the things you don't like to bolster your preference.

  >It's one thing to have a preference, and another thing altogether to lie about the things you don't like to bolster your preference. step back for a moment and realize that you're calling another human a bullshitter and a liar about their preference in cooking equipment. They're explaining their anecdotal position on the matter -- not teaching a college course. I'm a big cook, i'm always in any cooking related thread on HN -- I never see the crowd rile up as much as when induction hobs are ever mentioned. It's strange to me that induction hobs create so much conflict and illicit so much passion from both sides of the aisle..

    But they werent actually saying anything about their own preference, they were claiming that people who like induction don't like cooking, and that induction is worthless for people who like cooking. That is a claim that is provably false, and therefore by definition is a lie.

Or if you're on the Great British Bake Off, where they are very clearly using induction to cook.

    You realize they use the induction burners for something, right?
