    Agreed, but I really miss the sheer power of gas stoves. Wondering if they make (or if I can make) souped-up versions of electric or induction stoves. Or do I just have a really weak electric stove?

      My induction hob can heat things up faster than gas

      It’s a combination of high power and high efficiency

        Yeah same. Water in a pan begins to sound like it’s going to boil soon pretty much as soon as it’s turned on.

        Those that prefer gas over induction must have had some crappy induction hob to compare to.

          My wife has a pacemaker, Induction stoves are not an option.

    • Or do I just have a really weak electric stove?

      I think you might just have a really weak one, or poor compatibility pots? I’ve had both, and if anything my gas burners feel a little slower and cooler than my induction stove did.

      I found if the pot makes solid contact with the electric elements the electric can actually heat up water faster than gas. But if the bottom of your pan isn’t flat or the element is warped, they are really, really, really slow.

      My experience has been with gas (fast), electric resistive with exposed and warped elements (slow), electric resistive with a glass top (fastest).

      Our induction plate rivals the power of the electric range in this apartment. Our previous induction plates were on par with our gas stove. Am hoping for even more power when I upgrade to a built in induction range that’s wired into 240v.
