Spending some time at my folks' place and using their glass-ceramic electric cooktop.

Let me tell you folks, once you start to get the brain nugget that gas stoves aren't that great you start to even appreciate bog-standard electric stoves.

It is so nice to be able to stir a simmering pot without the exhaust (!) flying around the pot and searing your hand a little.

And you know what? I even ran into that problem where you can't just turn the burner down because of the thermal inertia. Nearly had a pot boil over.

But upon reflection, I think I would rather get used to that then deal with the indoor air pollution. And, like I said, it is legitimately easier from a heat-on-skin perspective cook with an electric stove. That's kinda cool, actually.

@TechConnectify Yes, but induction is king.

@snazzyq @TechConnectify

Don’t you need to get special pans for induction stoves?

@JohnDongle @snazzyq @TechConnectify Not necessarily. Aluminum pans won’t work with induction, but stainless steel and iron does. If a magnet sticks to it, then you can use it with induction.
@transcendentape @JohnDongle @TechConnectify Not to mention almost everything is ferrous as of late since they’re increasing in popularity. My aluminum All-Clad have stainless steel ply in order to make magnetic. Also, obviously cast iron works. It’s most stuff out there save for the cheapest of cheap cookware!
