[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are renovating our kitchen soon.  We had always assumed we would get a nice gas range top (we have gas now but it’s a cheap range).  We have looked at induction and are torn about whether to get an induction cooktop instead of gas.  We like that it’s easier to clean and that it’s more energy efficient and that it doesn’t have the same air quality concerns of gas.  But we are kind of disappointed to not get gas as that is what we’ve always had and liked and we know that we would enjoy cooking with it.  We are worried we won’t like induction and will be frustrated.  But it seems like the right thing to do as states and cities are starting to ban gas in new builds.

We would get a high end induction cooktop if we switch.

Have you switched to induction and did you grow to like it as much as gas?  [/quote]
Switched this fall. Already like it the same (possibly more) than gas. It's less temperamental, meaning the pan doesn't get overly hot as quickly as it does with gas. I feel like I can pick a setting and just keep it there. For example, after about 2 Saturday mornings, I now know which setting to use for pancakes with my cast iron and it just... is always pretty perfectly hot. We have the GE profile and switched from a low end gas range. So it may just be that it's a nice range. Anyhoo, no regrets here, and I was a reluctant convert. (It was my husband, not me, who pushed for the switch during a reno.) We did have to buy a few new pans, though I love cooking with cast iron now and never really liked it before.[/quote]
