Induction is the best cooktop tech for daily use, and that's a hill I'm willing to die on. I live in a rented place and cannot simply get rid of our gas range. However, it has a piece of kitchen counter placed on top of it and is only in use for its oven, which thankfully is electric. On top of the counter though? An induction hob.

Gas baby!

Induction has just gone from "cool, but for the rich folks" to simply an undisputed king of stovetops.

Much like solar and other green technologies.

I've had too many induction stove tops turn off too many times by moving a pan over the on button for this to be true

Which bits on, who can say. Perhaps none of it is on, perhaps resistive touch screen controls are a bad idea on the surface that might get wet. Who can say.

It's funny because while I didn't comment on the previous post about the superior burner location, I do happen to have an induction range that has the big coil in the front right. So I get to have a side in both conflicts!

Seriously though, induction is the undisputed winner. We've had this thing for years, and whatever price premium I paid to move up to a lower priced induction model was totally worth it.

That big "burner" plus my big nitrided carbon steel pan is my go-to now to start like 80% of things I cook on the stove. Not counting heating up water in the kettle daily, though. That uses the small burner behind the big one. Then there are two mediums on the left. Or maybe it's small, two large, and one XL.

Within two weeks my gas stove and oven are getting chucked out the door. Replaced with an induction stove top and a convection/steam oven/air fryer.

Sometimes I have to go back to cooking on a ceramic or gas at someone else's house and it always annoys me how long boiling water takes.

Fast heating, wipe clean, works off clean electricity, roasts me less in the summer, doesn't care about the air coming from a window, starts the first time every time, what more could I ask for? I got this cheap plug in one and it dropkicks my installed gas stove in basically every metric.

Induction can have the crown as soon as appliance designers stop giving them infuriating capacitive touch controls that are a fundamentally bad input method for a fucking stove.

Give them knobs. The UI nerd in me is so angry at the slow death of competent design as its cannibalized by marketing and branding people, and the penny pinchers they serve.
