Induction Hob or gas ?

[jdouds]

My pal is a kitchen designer/installer and says induction is now the way to go.

Never had induction, so won’t ‘miss’ it so to speak and we like cooking on gas. Don’t like gas ovens though, so having electric there.

To be fair, cooking on a ceramic or halogen hob is absolutely nothing like cooking on induction.

Im not saying that you said that, its just that some people seem to get mixed up between ceramic and induction

gas. im old school and love gas cookers. cheese on toast isnt the same on electric grills, in fact electric grills just arent great IMHO.

Gas.
I can’t get on with induction. I need to see a flame to judge things.
Also, I’d trash induction with all my banging around and shaking of pans.
Plus, how would I char peppers, aubergines etc?

i've tried induction a bunch of times at various cottages and places we've stayed at, and i *hate* it

maybe its because i do a lot of wok cooking, but every time i've tried induction cooking, i've ended up frustrated with it.

being easier to clean isnt really a selling point for me, i'd rather have a dirty hob and enjoy cooking on it than having something wipe clean that i hate using...

*edit*

just read the post above



this is a very good description, and probably explains why i struggle with it so much

I char things on my griddle on the induction hob...no problem.
The only thing I can concede would be an ‘issue’ is the wok, but then I have never used one, so dont miss it.

Changed to from gas reluctantly 8 years ago to induction but would never go back to gas. Like being able to set the timer so don't have to worry about walking away from the hob and it is just as quick to reduce heat as when turning down a gas ring.

But I rest them over a naked flame to burn them. That wouldn’t be an option.
