I want an induction cooktop but my friends all say gas is better. However they all have housecleaners and I am sick of scrubbing my stove every day. Any thoughts?
I love the look of walnut butcher block but I have heard this is a nightmare to maintain?
So excited as I have been saving for this kitchen for years.

your friends have probably never cooked with induction. Most people haven't.

Induction is way better than gas. Ability to keep consistent low temperatures much more precisely, can heat to high temp very quickly, much more predictable overall, and dreamy to clean.

NP. We're going induction when we replace our gas stove. Do you have recommendations?

I have a Wolf induction cooktop and it's great.

Amen, amen, amen. LOVE induction and will never go back. If you have kids who like to cook, it's also really safe and easy for them to use and learn to cook on. Also more environmentally friendly overall. We have a GE Profile range, but will probably upgrade to a 36" induction cooktop when we eventually renovate.
