Induction stoves heat water far faster than gas stoves do.
My gas stove is so slow to heat water (even with its largest burner) that I have a separate electric kettle I use to heat up a liter of water and then I put that into a pot on the stove, useful when I want to steam something.
- quasarj 5y agoThis is absolutely not my experience. Can you share what induction stove you're using that's so great?

Nearly 100% of the energy from an induction cook top ends up in the pot.
- pandaman 5y agoThe trick in the videos is to use a narrow vessel. I suspect that if they used a bigger pot or, say, a kettle it would not be as impressive. In the second video it's a gas stove from Thermador (you can tell by the star-shaped burner) witch is usually 5K watt burners in the front. I don't know what induction stove they have but seeing that they have multiple "burners" that come together to 10-11K watt max, I'd say it's 3K watt tops. The gas stove is losing way more than 50% heat to be almost twice slower, which is not a surprise since the pot is smaller than the burner.
