I’ve seen some beautiful kitchens with gas cooktops, sometimes made out of antique cooktops; and electric wall-ovens for baking; and I like that idea.
I haven’t explored all of this sufficiently, but I don’t think I’d ever get the Husband Unit away from his love of cast-iron hitting actual FIRE ;-)
I’m the same way, the kitchen here is all electric so I grill outside on gas whenever I can invent a reason to do so. But, given that the kitchen is all electric, a countertop induction cooktop brings a lot to the table, it behaves somewhat similarly to gas as far as precision and speed.
I’m with your husband unit! I want my fire back! My cast iron is on induction. Ugh.
