inductions great electric is bad they’re different technologies electric hobs are just a thing that gets hot and they’re very inefficient induction does it through magnets they’re very efficient and responsive getting hot really quickly and cold really quickly when you turn them off which also makes them safer electric takes forever to heat up or cool down though and also from what I remember I might be wrong is actually so energy inefficient that it’s worse for the planet than gas hobs
Anyways, that’s not true. Resistive heating elements are on par with gas fire elements for heating things, and much better for the environment than gas stoves. A resistive element will heat a liter of water 30 seconds faster than a gas element, while also not excessively heating the room or burning fossil fuels in your house. The old school metal coils are even more efficient than glasstop stoves and more reactive to changing the heating element. However, as you pointed out, all resistive electric stoves are slower to react than gas.
not really most pans sold now are induction pans and you’ll probably spend more in electricity on an electric hob than you’d spend on buying new pans for an induction hob and that’s assuming your pans aren’t already induction pans and induction is just so so much faster
i think the real options are induction and ceramic and i would choose ceramic every time, the induction stoves i have tried have been always horrible, the ceramic ones i have used have always been quite enjoyable to use
I’m sorry what you had to be using a terrible induction hob I don’t know what ceramic hobs are but induction is really really responsive heating up and cooling down in what feels like a near instant and able to get absolutely screaming hot it’s just so much better and then you take the pan off the hob and within seconds you can touch the hob and it’s just kind of warm induction is great genuinely what are you talking about
edit: I looked on wikipedia for ceramic that seems to be exactly what I was talking about by electric hobs literally the worst hob there is
induction* electric stoves are awful
Care to expand on that. I have an induction hot plate I use sometimes and it works fine aside from not working with aluminum pans.

Could you add some punctuation?

no I hate punctuation
No, I hate. Punctuation?
I meant electric as in using electricity
Dont those require special cookware? I’d rather stick to the regular electric than have to spend more money on special cookware.

Not really. Only thing to note is to keep the heating spot clean. Other wise, nothing really diffrent.
Every pan made out of metal should work
