I grew up using traditional electric (not even inductive; just the normal 1970s kind) and it was absolutely fine. Where I live now has gas (the first in my 50+ year life) and I don't think it's something amazing; I actually find it kind of irritating to be honest. I think it's just what people are used to. Going to electric from gas is irritating, but so is the reverse.
- Spivak 4y agoNon-induction electric has the huge huge advantage of being user serviceable but is absolutely garbage to cook with. The coils heat non-uniformly and pans aren’t perfectly flat and so make uneven contact with them. Now there are “radiant” cooktops but for some dumb reason they encase them in glass which I’m sure is for safety or efficiency but also makes them annoying because, again, pan aren’t flat. We are perfectly capable of making literally a gas stove but with electric coils just like ovens but we don’t. It would solve basically every issue with them except the speed to adjust temperature but I could live with that.
