    I’m not trying to flambe in my kitchen. I don’t need what gas provides.

    I have a gas stove right now. It sucks. It likely helped give my wife asthma, and the temperature control is for shit. I bought an induction plate to play around with and it lets you set the temperature in the pan in terms of degrees in 10 degree increments. It detects when the pan has been removed from the cook top for a while and automatically shuts off. It’s cool to the touch a minute or so after it shuts off.

    Induction is like cooking in the future, gas is like cooking in the Fred Flintstone past (using dinosaur farts).

    I have a gas grill, and it’s good for its use as well (yabba dabba do), but if I want control over the heating element it’s induction all the way.
