We are remodeling kitchen and decided on induction for the fast heat/boil performance. Price of a few new pots/pans seemed negligible. Haven’t installed yet but same here, when asking around people seem to like.

Do you have induction-ready cookware? I.e., cast iron, or cookware with the required iron content? Or will you have to buy new pans too? And is that factored into your price? I see you need some new ones...

Also, when do you need it? Are both available now? Or do you need to order one? Took me eight months to get my cook top last year. Although I hear things are getting better...

Are you a "cook"? Or is this just an appliance? In which case, I would go for the cheaper one...

All things being equal, I definitely prefer gas, but loved the precision and control my induction cooktop offered at my last house.

No. Gas inside, charcoal outside.

I heard that all them spinning magnets give you the 5gs in your bloodstream.

After pining for gas for YEARS, and now finally having access to a gas range after using a flattop electric (non-induction) for the last 5 years.... I *HATE GAS*. Yes, it cooks more evenly. It's also a hell of a lot slower in my experience, and the gas oven? Jesus christ, like literally zero instructions on anything frozen are ever accurate for this oven, and using the top vs. bottom rack is the line between raw and *blackened* food. The flattop was infinitely easier to clean up as well. I would take induction (or even another glass electric) over gas in a heartbeat, even if it meant replacing every pan I have.

Induction will be night and day better than your flat top electric. I still prefer gas though and am curious about your “no option “ comment. We built in an area with no natural gas lines but bought a 500# propane tank to feed the cook top. There were lots of model options with LP conversions, if you absolutely want to go gas.

My mom's house had electric, I have a gas stove and like it better. As for induction, never tried it and maybe it's great but I just don't have time to hassle around with getting new pans, throwing old ones out and all that crap. And I couldn't cook anything on the stove made of glass or ceramic? Forget that.

Induction for the win by a country mile.

The only thing country folk would do with an induction oven is sell it.

Just switched to induction last month, do it!

Water boils super quickly, and the entire surface of your pan heats evenly.

I’d recommend one without knobs, super easy to clean.
