    There’s a whole lot of people for whom “electric stove” means “giant metal coil that heats up in an uncontrollable way and contacts my cookware unevenly.”

    When my gas stove fails, I will almost certainly replace it with an electric induction stove. I have never used one, but my understanding is that they are just as easy to cook with as a gas stove.

    However, old style electric stoves are still about half the price of induction stoves, and gas stoves are even cheaper. I can’t fault someone for having to replace their range with something they can just barely afford instead of with something they can’t afford at all.

      Having used all three types a fair bit, holy shit yes a good induction hob is leagues above the old electric coil ones

      There it is. Lol very controllable. The only way it doesn’t contact properly is if you have warped pots. You also missed one of the electric stoves, is that the one that killed your parents?

        Which one?

        Now I’m thinking you read someone else’s comment and not mine.

      you never used one, yet you have opinions about how it’s gonna be just as good as a gas one. Spoiler alert: it won’t. Oh, and ofc, buy a cheap induction stove for added suffering.
