What about a standalone gas burner?
Been using an induction range for about five years now. I’m 69 years old and like to cook. I’ve used gas and normal resistive type electric cooktops. I’ve found that induction heats much faster than gas, I don’t need a pot holder any longer to pick up my tea kettle as I did when the gas burner heated the water and the kettle. The handle doesn’t even get warm. Induction is very efficient and uses much less energy because you are only heating the bottom of the vessel and the contents within. Induction also responds very quickly to varying temp control changes much like a gas stove. Induction is also much safer for little children..you can put your hand on the cooking surface while the vessel is hot and not immediately burn your hand like holding it over a gas flame or a resistive type electric burner. You need cookware that will be compatible with induction...you can tell if a magnet will stick to the bottom. I love induction and will never go back to gas...so much better!
I have a standalone induction burner. If you look at a standalone be careful about its capability. Cooks Country did a review of them that was helpful. Try to review how much power the burner can output in your comparison. I would also make sure the pots and pans have flat bottoms. It will not work as well if the pan is not flat against the glass top.
We have a Samsung glass top stove (not induction) I cannot recomend it. The temperature is controlled by turning the heating element on and off. It has only one heating setting and tries to control the temperature by time.
