I wouldn't be surprised if the market is unready to provide something professionals are happy with, and that could be a disaster - but if it's mandated throughout the state, the demand will exist for a supplier to try to do better.
I can say that for my own home cooking purposes, electric coils have always been acceptable, and that's really where my attention is with the ban - I already know I won't feel direct pain from it; whereas restaurant food as a consumer service is a case of "just make something good and I don't care how you do it if it's in line with laws and norms", and the rest is a matter of how much has to change in operations, cooking style etc to make a technology switch. Gas cooking has only been around since roughly the 1850's, following heating and lighting introductions; coal stoves remained popular well into the early 20th century, but coal in cooking today mostly conjures up backyard barbecue. It could easily turn out that the gas-centric styles become a "flash in the pan" niche if we make the switch.
- marak830 4y agoIt's all about the heat transfer, previous to gas we used bur ing wood, so a high heat transfer without physical contact. I'm not sure if there is even a way for a ln induction cooktop to provide heat over a distance. But sure, if it's mandated then chefs will have to change their cooking style, which -with plenty if grumbling from chefs - won't be the end of the world.
- jolux 4y agoSure but resistive stovetops could probably do this. They don’t all have to be induction, right?
- fuzzfactor 4y agoI would imagine the vendors of propane & propane accessories would be licking their chops at the prospect of going into all these restaurants.
