Which electric stove, though? Induction or resistive? Sure, neither will kill you via massive explosion (unless you really use your stove wrong), but inductive has better performance and is more forgiving if you spill soup etc on the element, whereas resistive stoves are cheap and don't require you to buy new pans.
The correct answer depends on your budget, so your comment cleverly disguises a class war within it.
Resistive heating elements are more efficient at heating things. It just takes longer to heat up because the heating element has to heat up instead of just applying flames directly too the cookware.
Resistive heating is very efficient at heating the bottom of the pan. Inductive stoves are more efficient at heating the food though.
Even induction ones can be had for relatively cheap nowadays. They are just the best way to cook imo.
Never as cheap as a piece of crappy wire though. I agree they're the best, but they cost more. Especially when realistically you already have all the pots/pans you'd need for resistive, but will likely need to buy new ones for inductive.
I mean if you have relativel okay quality pots and pans (not the cheapest stuff) and they are not 30+ years old they should mostly just work. My parents changed to induction over 15 years ago and we only had to switch out a couple pans. Most pf the pots were fine to stay.
Everyone keeps saying this, but when my stove died last year I tried to convince the landlord to go induction but they are still twice as expensive as the cheap glass top resistive stoves.
Landlords gonna landlord. Just checked you can get an induction stove at IKEA for abojt 200€
I mean they did send me links of what they were looking at and involved me in the selection process. They really weren’t wrong about them being twice as expensive. And the one they went with was really nice except the fact that it wasn’t induction.
But yea I moved out of that place because I was tired of having a landlord lol.
Sure but going from 100 to 200€ is not that much for such a nicer experience. But I guess landlords have their reasons. Regardless of whether induction increases the value of the property
It was the difference of $600USD vs $1,300+USD and the oven in the induction units was crappier at that price range as well.
Neither. Radiant heating with a ceran hob, which is very common where I live. Electric stoves are pretty much the default anyway, so this isn't really a class war over here.
Maybe the class war is whether it is inductive or not.
