this is why big gas is cranking up the propaganda on stoves. induction stoves are better, don't believe them

Why are they better?

While I don’t agree they’re better, a key feature over conventional electric (and one of the main benefits of gas) is that the stove surface doesn’t inherently retain heat. They get hot, but only because the pan is hot. When you turn down the heat, it’s immediate, like a gas stove.

I don’t know about how fast they can heat; gas can output a ridiculous amount of BTUs, but at 240v I wouldn’t be surprised.

I don’t know about the US, but in Germany it’s common that the individual or two plates of the induction stoves have their own 380V cable and breaker.

The US often has some appliances wired for 240V; I assume stovetops are, but IDK. Large appliances have their own breakers. I was told that if we wanted to install a built-in microwave, it’d require a new, dedicated wire and breaker.
