People here seem unaware that there exists a 3rd option that isn’t either gas or induction - a ceramic hob is electric, heated coils under glass, but you can use it with any pot or pan, so there’s no need to spend all that extra money replacing all your cookware, and the hob itself is cheaper too.
And they’re terrible at cooking: any change in temperature, including heating up takes a ton.
They’ve served me perfectly well for over a decade.
The difference in supposed quality wouldn’t be noticeable to most while the difference in cost definitely would be. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Not unaware, just not mentioning it as an option because it’s so inferior.
I got an induction system yesterday and ripped my old ceramic one out. I mean, it worked okay apart from the fact that it was slower and would take a while to cool down again.
What always bothered me was not always having the ideally sized one and seeing all the red glow around the bottom of the pot or pan. “Fuck, I’m wasting 30 % energy right now…”
