The home appliance industry would like you to believe that gas-burning stoves are not a risk to your health – and several companies that make the devices are scrambling to erase their prior acknowledgements that they are.

Yeah induction is a totally different and in my opinion superior technology. Unfortunately, some electric stoves can look quite similar but perform very differently, which leads to confusion.
My parents are snooty foodies who badmouthed electric stoves for decades even when I explained that gas was bad for the environment. But once I showed them my induction stove they were sold and never looked back.
The only downside is they can be a bit expensive, might require electrical work, and you may need to change out some pots and pans. But for me I found it very worth it. Cooking with gas annoys me now whenever I’m forced to.
This is/was me, and you’ve given me hope I will beable to adapt to induction, whenever that day comes.
I’m just trying to learn now from a recent conversion and I’m amazed at how quickly pans heat up compared to gas. I have this one pasta meal down to a science, knowing exactly what I could do while waiting for the water to boil and the skillet to heat up, but now my process is out of wack because it was so quick.
Price is coming down a lot. A cheap induction one is well within the price range of a regular one. Sometimes even cheaper.
You definitely want to look at the reviews though. When I started looking a couple years ago, the few less expensive models had really bad reviews from too small coils cooking slowly and unevenly
True. For me the main cost was the electrical wiring to bring the needed voltage to the kitchen. Which no one told me I needed until after I made the purchase. Oops.
