So like I know certain things can’t be cooked on electric, but like I watch YouTube cooking videos and the guys with electric stoves just use like a small propane burner thing that goes on the kitchen counter to use like a wok or Moka Pot. I don’t know when people need 4 gas burners specifically, and I don’t think gas/electric matters for oven…. So shouldn’t that just be the end of the debate.

Like just buy one of the little gas stove things for those specific recipes, and then you won’t get cancer…..

    Wait really? I've never had a non electric stove and they always seemed to work fine with all food. I figure heat is heat when it comes to a pan or pot.

      Do the ones you’ve had turn off when the pan is removed? Mine does and it makes cooking anything that requires removing from the heat source for a brief period a massive pain.

      As others have pointed out, it also messes with heat distribution.

      That being said, unless somebody is a hobbyist/has worked in a kitchen before I don’t see too much of a problem with induction stoves.

      Definitely going to check out those portable burners though. If they’re cheap enough I’ll be able to finally learn a Cantonese recipe I’ve been interested in.
