I fail to see why you can't do that with induction - indeed I do that all the time with induction. The cycle is just a lot shorter with induction. Waiting for integrated temperature control to become more of a thing with induction - hi

Lack of fine control isn't a fault of induction, but of a cheaply made cooktop. I too made that mistake on my last house. My mom's induction range has half steps and they make all the difference. Getting a new house next month

How is induction any less responsive than gas? My gas stoves had big metal grates that themselves heated up - and took forever to cool down. There is way less mass on my induction stove cooktop for any residual/carry over heat than o

If you are concerned about instantaneous draw you can always start low and ramp up. You don't always have to start out with every burner on high!

If you are running the burners flat out. Which you only do when getting water to boil or preheating cookware. Once up to temp, induction requires far less energy to cook with since it is way more efficient - directly heating the pan. So ye

Also if you are performing true restaurant style wok cooking you doubly want to be outdoors for the offgassing/smoke. Restaurants have hoods that are paired with make-up air systems. That 600CFM (being generous!) "hood" bui

I've never once had hysteresis be a problem with induction - especially any more or less than with gas or traditional radiant electric. If you like to cook invest in good cookware. The biggest problem with induction is cheap cookware

250 miles is far from short. Pretty sure Tesla uses heat pumps for heating. Maybe not always, but they have for a while. Heat for the battery packs is indeed a significant issue for colder climates. Glad I don't live in cold countr

What is more meaningful? A letter grade with no context, or written feedback/commentary on your work? A dialog around improving your work? Seems like a far superior concept than simple letter grading. Also as you get better, the need

Third party clients are a must if you are going to screw with Twitter. You can filter out all the noise and topics that aren't of interest. That people use the native Twitter interface at all constantly amazes me.

The act of filtering still exposes you a little. Using tech to wholesale blackhole "wrongthink" is probably one of the worst aspects of social media. Frankly I think terms like "bubble" dramatically trivialize just how
