Current place I rent has those awful resistive heating stovetop, previous place had induction. I miss gas - for some stuff I now have to either use a small camp stove type gas thing or a blowtorch, electric (resistive or induction) simply is no fucking good at all for some cooking tasks.



Resistive sucks, induction does not. If you have induction pans, they will heat up faster than any gas stove. Boil water in less than 2 minutes. No gas or resistance electric range can come close to the energy transfer.


Yeah, boiling water on gas is so damn slow.


For boiling water I’ve almost always used a kettle to skip the age and a half of waiting for it to come up to temp.

Exception being for a few things where you need the water to start cold.

I’ll grant induction one massive win - it’s fast as heck at dumping heat into something.
