Induction can have the crown as soon as appliance designers stop giving them infuriating capacitive touch controls that are a fundamentally bad input method for a fucking stove.

Give them knobs. The UI nerd in me is so angry at the slow death of competent design as its cannibalized by marketing and branding people, and the penny pinchers they serve.

Electric coils suck. They never make even contact with the pan, creating hot and cold spots.

Electric radiant is better. But it's limited by lower burner output.

Gas solves both problems, but creates an additional problem that it measurably reduces indoor air quality with combustion byproducts.
The simple easy solution to that SHOULD be require a vent hood, and wire it so the fan automatically turns on low when the burners are lit. But that seems to require more brain power than the construction industry (or regulators) possess.

Induction solves all problems. No combustion byproducts, even heat distribution, high output.

There's also a company called Impulse that makes an induction cooktop with a 3 kWh battery inside- crank that guy up to 11 and it'll dump 10 kilowatts into one burner so you can boil a pot of water in under a minute. Put in contrast, most gas and electric burners put out 2-4 kW. Obviously with only 3kWh it can't sustain that output continually and once the battery is dead you're left with whatever your electric circuit is good for, but that's still plenty to get a pot boiling.

I have gas now. If I ever redo my kitchen I'm getting induction.

Induction has just gone from "cool, but for the rich folks" to simply an undisputed king of stovetops.

Much like solar and other green technologies.

Fast heating, wipe clean, works off clean electricity, roasts me less in the summer, doesn't care about the air coming from a window, starts the first time every time, what more could I ask for? I got this cheap plug in one and it dropkicks my installed gas stove in basically every metric.

Within two weeks my gas stove and oven are getting chucked out the door. Replaced with an induction stove top and a convection/steam oven/air fryer.

Induction is the best cooktop tech for daily use, and that's a hill I'm willing to die on. I live in a rented place and cannot simply get rid of our gas range. However, it has a piece of kitchen counter placed on top of it and is only in use for its oven, which thankfully is electric. On top of the counter though? An induction hob.

Deyre goin to take muh gas stowve

Cannot roast marshmallows OR light a joint, literally what is this used for???

I love the idea. I hate the shitty unreliable overly digital implementation. Induction came around after everything was already well on the way to enshittification. Components are sized to last through warranty, not to last 20 or 30 years.

My gas stove, which has certainly many issues, hasn’t got a chip in it, and with occasional replacement of igniters will likely outlast me, unless we choose to replace it. This is a unique stove though, I will admit.

Sometimes I have to go back to cooking on a ceramic or gas at someone else's house and it always annoys me how long boiling water takes.
