I have induction at home and it is fast but not faster than gas. They are comparable. What gas has is a better visual cue for how much power you’re putting out. With induction it’s all invisible and you have to get to know your stove dials, and even then the performance is partly determined by the pan itself so there is a little more guesswork.

We got induction because it’s better for indoor air quality, the stovetop is glass and easy to clean, and it’s electrically powered so in theory our solar panels can offset some of it.

Common sense will tell you heat control is instant, just think about it. If you turn the gas off boom no more heat and nothing but the pan itself to hold heat. Unless you're using car iron is as instant as it gets
