    The gas being faster than electric thing is not relevant with induction. Induction DESTROYS gas for responsiveness, it’s literally digital and nearly direct heat. There’s no competition and it isn’t even close. The only thing more direct would be if you ran electricity directly through the pan and it started glowing.

    If you want to compare gas vs induction, talk about cooking technique and the ability to lift, tip, and move around the pan, and the needed sweet spot for induction being teeny tiny and safety first so if it detects the cookware leaving the sweet spot, it turns off.

    The two cooktops are extremely different. I hope nobody in here is taking this seriously other than maybe the corruption of the natural gas companies.

    There was a study recently that found breathing in burning oil and food smoke is nearly as bad as smoking cigarettes. Which, if you stop to think about it, isn’t surprising at all because you’re just breathing in carcinogens (burnt stuff and particulates are bad for you). So cooking at higher heats at all just in general isn’t great.
