I do cook on indution since years, simply I have to say that it does work but it's not on par nor better than gas in cooking terms, for me suffice, I like the ability to move most electric appliances around also, I like the easiness to clean the induction plate BUT I understand people who don't, that's is.

Having built a new home I do not have gas at all and I have a p.v. system so no interest in gas "extra comfort/regulation", in air quality I have a VMC so...




Just curious: what about induction is not up to par? What sorts of foods does it fall short at?


On frying mainly because with plates I've used/tested (as pointed below in the conversation) is next to impossible keeping a certain temp constant, or it's way too hot or is a stop&go with cycles around 1.5 or so seconds that making good frying very uncomfortable.

Limits in kind of pot (for instance no earthenware some like here in southern EU) or some aluminum classic fryer can be also added to the cons list.

The pro is the easiness of install, for electric appliance in general their move ability around the house without special intervention, for those like me with p.v. of course the self-consumption option.

That's is. As pointed by another user below top-of-the-line plates can do frying at a substantially constant temp, but for me 3k+ buks for a plate is simply excessively expensive for my cooking, illogical to buy, some might consider that an investment.
