    Gas stoves also emit stuff like benzene, which has been linked to cancer, and NO2 which has been linked to asthma.

    But ignoring the health issues, induction is faster for boiling stuff, and arguably more precise. You likely don’t need new pans either. Flat bottom, cast iron works fine and stainless works fine for me.

    It just takes some getting used to.

      You have special stainless then, most won’t work.

      If you can stick a magnet to the bottom it will work.

        I mean, I bought the set in aldi. It was in the bargain bin for something like 60 euros for 10 pots and pans. Was worried it wouldn’t work when I moved. Tried it. Worked just fine. Apparently plenty of stainless steel stuff works just fine.

        This isn’t particularly interesting.

        But just to say, before buying new expensive ones that claim to be designed for induction, try the old ones you already own. Chances are they’ll work just fine.
