Yeah induction is a totally different and in my opinion superior technology. Unfortunately, some electric stoves can look quite similar but perform very differently, which leads to confusion.

My parents are snooty foodies who badmouthed electric stoves for decades even when I explained that gas was bad for the environment. But once I showed them my induction stove they were sold and never looked back.

The only downside is they can be a bit expensive, might require electrical work, and you may need to change out some pots and pans. But for me I found it very worth it. Cooking with gas annoys me now whenever I’m forced to.

Induction stoves are really common in the UK I first got one ~10 years ago, a quick Google shows a 4 zone induction hob in B&Q (Home Depot in the US) can be had for £89, single zone portable worktop ones are around £30. The current one in my kitchen cost £479 recon (normally ~£720) super fancy

It's different to gas, I prefer it now. Having used the other terrible types of electric hobs/stoves and gas

Except it doesn’t work with every pan. I love induction but some pans I love don’t work with it.

The fact that literally everyone else in society refers to an electric glass top as "glass top" and induction as "induction" tells me you're being needlessly pedantic in order to feel superior to others.

Apologize for ruining the humor with pedantry but …

You’re probably on that puny ~110-120 volt supply.

Assuming this is a dig at the US, major appliances like stoves use 240v circuits. I think there are a couple possible but my new stove circuit is 50a 240v, the same as my car charger.

Induction stoves are something where you can still make fun of us though. They are rare and most are expensive. I just converted from gas to induction and none of the three places I went to even had a display model so I Could see what an induction stove looked like
