I turn on the vent hood and enjoy my instant heat.
Convection cooktops heat instantly as well, without needing combustion.
*induction
Convection is a fan that runs in your oven.
Oops, you’re exactly right
I've had both, I find gas much more responsive to temperature changing. But you do you.
Sure. I find inductive cooktops are close enough though, and without the dependence on fossil fuel.
Wasted heat is the worst part. The sides and handles of any pan not oversized for the burner gets blazing got and the kitchen spikes in temperature. Gas takes forever to boil water as well.
What do you think powers the house that powers the stove though? Coal is still the first option in many places.
I get my energy from entirely renewable sources. Besides, the electric grid gets cleaner over time.
Really? I have gas and a 50€ IKEA induction plate I use for frying outside and the latter heats oil up surprisingly quickly
