One week induction stove assessment:

  1. Absolutely stellar performance for my use cases, which are
    A. hash browns
    B. boiling water
    C. eggs

  2. Biggest issue:
    A. cookware compatibility

  3. Biggest benefit (aside from energy/no gas burning emissions):
    A. extremely controllable temperature

Note: Getting other folks to try the induction stove did not go well; I am a technology early adopter and willing to experiment, no one else here is. They are comfortable with using what they have used, even if there are issues (lousy burner design here, for one).

End result: Likely will switch at home, might have an interim step with a portable cooktop.

ai6yr,

Based on research, the issues to conquer are:

  1. Availability of reliable ranges is unclear; lots of good things to say about Bosch online, but those are definitely high end ($3500+).
  2. More availability of cooktops, but most homes here are ranges (combined cooktop/stove). Unclear to me how you decouple the two.

@ai6yr I am very happy with our induction range. One benefit I would add that was part of our decision: if you have very young children who might go around curiously turning knobs, buttons, etc. the induction is far safer since there isn't a risk of gas emitting, an open flame, or any electric burners getting hot.

Does a watched pot boil (on induction cooktop?)

question:

Has anyone recently switched from a gas to a new induction stove? What do you think of it? How responsive is it compared to gas?

I'm remodeling the casita in back and wondering if I need to replace the gas lines or if I can go with electric.

Note: I already understand everything relating to indoor air quality, fossil fuels, cost and safety. I'm looking strictly at usability right now, compared to gas. Reports on modern units are important because I'm told they've improved a lot lately.

Thanks!
