There’s a huge difference between electric and induction cooktops. I just redid my kitchen and went with induction. My outdoor kitchen is propane. The induction is just as good, and actually heats up faster. Unlike regular glass electric cooktops, nothing burns onto it because the glass doesn’t heat up. The down side is that it’s glass, so you are always a little worried about breaking or scratching it. And they ain’t cheap.
GE makes one that takes a probe that makes your cooktop a sous vide cooker.
“”I would get a headache whenever the gas was running,” he says”
Sounds like likely CO poisoning from running too rich to me.
But I’m Peach [aka White], so what do I know?
Induction plates are huge in Asia, where it just sits on the countertop.
It would be good for a camper.
“I would get a headache whenever the gas was running,”
Try running the exhaust fan that most kitchens are equipped with.
All electric stuff quits when the power goes out; but at least with gas it’s always there.
“gas is the best stove top, electric is the best oven, induction sucks.’
Agreed.
No Chef works with electric by choice.
Absolutely the worst idea ever! Don’t buy it!

I looked into them. Good for small pots & pans but use more electricity than regular elec burners for larger pots & pans.
Flame rules.
That’s the limitation. But we use a lot of LeCruset enameled cast iron and they work well. It’s fast, hit the boost button and you’ll have a quart of water boiling in 90 seconds.
Gas stoves are way better the author is just another climate nazi poser.
I think you can still buy basic gas ranges. If nothing else, from Lehman’s. https://www.lehmans.com/category/ranges
“That’s the technical term for efforts to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels.”
Doesn’t it make you feel all Sciencey when the cognoscenti educate you about these special technical terms? It’s like a special privileged view in to the world of smart.
Not a chance.
All that needed to be done was the heating oil tank be 2-3 feet in elevation above the furnace fire box. Nothing would then stop lighting a nice furnace fire! Never had problems in MN winters decades ago.
Electric use will require electrical generation way beyond our abilities, given that Jane Fonda pushed pushed the United States out of Nuclear generation. With everybody recharging cars, using electric heat and electric stoves, and charging power tools, we have no way to generate that kind of power. Transmission lines will need to be beefed up. Everyone is listening to Biden and going at this whole hog without thinking. No way we can do this without getting into Nuclear generation. And no way unless we start right now enhancing our transmission capabilities. We better start or slow down the transition to electric power quite a bit.
Exactly.
I hate my electric stove. Can’t tip the pan sideways to finish the omelettes over the flame. Nothing bakes quite right, despite years of trial-and-error.
you know more than whiney energy boy...
