Induction Vs Gas - Which is better?

[@hydrojet7x70]

Yes induction is fast but it would help if you used the gas stove properly. You’re supposed to match the size of the pot with the burner. A lot of the heat from the gas burner is going out the side of the pot not underneath. That combined with a more scientific method by using a temperature probe to measure the temperature of the water versus just eyeballing it, there is a lot of gray area in this video.

[@rhonielgeorge5872]

Exactly

Hello, we had the option a 5 years ago and went with induction. I have worked in many commercial kitchens and love gas, but I have come to absolutely love the induction cooktop. The cost usage is actually much less minimal than you would think. For our brand the massive draw is only when on high, to bring to a boil, but almost all cooking we do is at a medium range. At a medium setting the electricity usage drops significantly. The consistency and precision of the cooking is also a plus. Finally no gas fumes and the kitchen overall never really warms up as there is no wasted heat energy.

Use a more durable material to cook with. Something like cast iron or carbon steel where you can season it yourself.

[@aaronnone987]

@Mas-ud Al-hassan Yes! Cast iron can be used on induction, gas range, electrical range, over a camp fire, charcoal, put in the oven... It's heavy, but very versatile and will last forever if you take care of it.

[@darkengine5931]

I'm impressed by how fast induction can heat things up but a lot of my newfound interest is actually how slowly and steadily it can do it. I've always found gas quite fiddly when it comes to simmering dishes for long periods of time and even with a heat diffuser (I got one of those gas stovetops that goes to super high heat but the lowest setting is still way too high to simmer without a heat diffuser). I often have to fiddle quite a bit with those to get the flame just right to get to precisely simmering point and not boiling, and tend to have to make small adjustments every half an hour or so. I tend to use the slow cooker instead for such dishes as a result but I'd prefer to reduce the number of tools I use in the kitchen. The induction stovetop seems like it might be the right fit as something which might be able to replace both my slow cooker and gas in most cases... I might still favor gas for high heat foods like steaks but I tend to make a lot more roasts and stews and things of this sort which like to be cooked long and slow.

Induction is a hell for slow cooking. Turns all your food into a coal. I have never burned a single meal until started to use induction. If you want to make something fast, it’s good, but if you want to simmer, it will destroy your food and pan. Total garbage and not worth the money

​@@tko9753because most of the heat goes directly into the pot or pan. Anything that lands on the glass top easily wipes up...or at most scrapes off with a single edge razor blade. We like the Method All Purpose cleaner and paper towels. One example of the quick response to temperature adjustments....we make coffee in a Chemex carafe. We put the carafe in a water bath at the 2.8 setting on our cooktop. Keeps the coffee at the perfect temp without burning or overheating. We "got use" to induction cooking first by purchasing a portable single element unit. Fell in love with that thing. So, when it was time for an upgrade to our main cooktop, it was an easy decision to go with induction. Cheers!

That gas burner was way too big for the pan. There’s not much in it usually time wise. Positives for an induction are the cleaning which for me trumps everything, I hate cleaning gas hobs. Gas is the best for controllability and that’s why for years I never got an induction, but induction isn’t bad, they are way better than an old school electric hob. One thing to consider is that a lot of inductions (most but not all) require a high current supply so can’t be plugged into a regular 13A socket on the ring main, they need dedicated wiring. If your building a new house that’s no big deal but if you are just upgrading your hob it’s something to consider as you will need an electrician to install some new cables. Depending on the setup in your house that might not be cheap.

@@stevewilson4321 are you in the US by any chance? We have 230V single phase supplies that are generally 100 amp rated in the UK. The house will be split into different circuits, generally there is a circuit breaker for 32 or 40amps on a cooker circuit, 20amps for your general sockets (outlets). Our appliance plugs are all fused to generally either 13, 5 or 3amps depending on what it is. Therefor if you have a high powered induction hob you can’t plug it into your general outlets as they are only good for 20amps. Most induction hobs are 32amps, you do get some that are 13amps and can be plugged in but they aren’t great, they limit how high you can put the rings on so it doesn’t go over 13 amps and blow the fuse. I thought US 220V supplies were also single phase so surprised to hear you mention 3 phase, I thought that was generally for industrial applications machine tools etc or things like electric car chargers if you want a fast charger, same as it is here.

Induction does not have instant control as people claim because the glass/ceremaic top will be at the same temperature as the pot. So even if you have reduced the power, the heat is still there. This is why after cooking, the hob is still hot and my induction cooker has a warning light/message. With a gas stove, only the flames are in contact with the bottom of pot.

The biggest thing that is missed by most is that with gas you have a constant flame (in theory) so that maintains a steady heat that will be at that temp. Electric will ramp up, cut off, ramp up cut off. Not sure about induction but probably the same. Boiling something faster isn't usually ever needed in a kitchen. Once water reaches 212F it can't get any hotter, so it is just a matter of speed in reaching that point. And having a constant flame with gas, which means steady and constant temps, is much more desired in the kitchen.

I began using gas, since a toddler, knew to put my hair back. Yes, touch it, OUCH! Electric, I've gotten more 3rd degree burns on my hands, it's awful! Gas burners begin to cool off, as soon as you turn them off! 3.5 is 350 degrees, BTW, on most gas stove tops. I make a mark on all my stove tops on the regular burners, for pancakes. I put the kettle onto the burner, that I just cooked on. I just wipe it down with a sponge, spot clean, as it were, with light sudsy water, then dry it off. Simple green, at the worst. 2)What is another thing you can do on a gas stovetop? Puff my flour taco shells, directly over the heat. 3) I can light the range, without electricity, heat my water, cook spaghetti, the meat, make food. You can't do that, with either electric or induction! What can I do, if there's none of the above? HOOK a propane tank up to my stove, with the shifting of some parts! Better have some great ventilation, but you most certainly can''t do that, with the other two stoves. In actuality, I'd use the BBQs, outside. But during the rolling Blackouts in the summer in California, my apartment complex is gas stoves, so we all are set, for cooking. Go ahead, point out that the gas ovens now have heat induction, on the oven, or one of the ovens, and Air Fry. Still uses gas, to power it. The BEST RANGE to BUY?

This is all very well and good but boiling water is not cooking. I've had induction cookers a couple of times in the past and you just can't stir-fry, make pancakes, get a pan as hot as hell to do a steak, or perform the subtleties as you can with gas.

[@chuckjames8685]

I suffered cooking on a induction stove for 1.5 years I just installed a new gas stove and I will never look back for cooking with gas is the only way for me. I don't just boil water.

Hi Chuck! We are glad to hear that you have found a stovetop that you love.

I just moved into a new house and it has induction. Half the time the buttons don't work, I'm looking at switching to gas as well. You're still happy with your move? Even with cleanup being more difficult?

I know that inductive cook top is faster then gas, but how about the cost of energy which use?

[@BoulevardHome]

If you are looking at only energy consumption gas is more efficient because it does not need much if any energy to run.

Depends on how much you pay for the gas vs electricity, in most areas the difference is probably negligable.

If the the guy who ran this test had used cast iron pans, the result would be different (even though cast iron has a lot more thermal mass - thus slower to heat - compared to lightweight pans). What he didn't realize is that the shiny (probably polished) stainless steel bottom on that pan reflected a lot of the energy from the gas burner because a significant component of that heat is radiant heat (infrared) and polished SS is an excellent IR reflector. This problem is even worse with a polished steel pan on an "all-glass" electric stovetop because an even higher percentage of the heat energy from those cooktops is infrared.

[@richiestyles5143]

Induction stoves are literally made to be used for cast iron pans so it still would go to Induction.

[@danhunters8226]

That's would be point for induction then, since you don't have to worry about that. But i seriously doubt it makes a big difference, you have metal in direct contact with the heatsource. Almost all heat transfer would be by conduction, radiation would be a tiny fraction.

[@beemaxb4358]

Did you check the temperature and volume of water in the pan was the same on both hobs? Not scientific 🤪

[@pyro3rg]

I recognize induction being able to heat things up faster to a high temp, for me though gas is better because I often use a wok and being able to get heat across a wider diameter matters more than speed. Super specific, but that's my thought.

[@daniel89123]

I had the same thought after I got an induction stovetop and ended up buying a standalone portable induction burner specifically to fit the wok in. Works pretty well and frees up space on the cooktop.

[@aS-eo5uu]

What about the cost of power

[@BoulevardHome]

If you are looking at cost of power it’s not a far comparison. Gas cooktops do not require any power even though many of them us it to light. The induction cooktop usually requires a 220 volt outlet.

[@creaturecore13]

@@furyrift No one can answer this for you, it varies significantly by area and by year. It depends what your current gas and electric companies are charging which always changes. Just assume its a negligible difference either way.

[@FrostSoul-qs6kq]

[@davoid7914]

Jeez, harsh criticism in comments. I think it's clear induction is faster than gas. If the gas burner uses 3MJ/hour on low (max. 9MJ/hour) and it takes 4 mins to boil 250ml, that equals 0.2MJ. If the induction cooktop is 1000W for 2 mins for same amount of water, that equals 33W. Based on 2 cents a MJ (Australia) the gas cost is 0.4 cents. Based on 21.7 cents per kW the electricity cost is 0.7 cents. If the induction cooktop was set to 2000W then the cost is 1.4 cents. A 1L 2400W electric kettle will boil 250ml in 35 secs at a cost of 0.5 cents for comparison. So based on these rough estimates, the cost is 1.7 times higher to 3.5 times higher Using gas also incurs the electricity cost of the range hood fan (approx. 45W on low) for 4 mins: 0.065 cents. If normal use is one 250ml cup per day, then cost per month is: 12 cents for gas 42 cents for electricity (2000W setting) 15 cents for kettle (2400W) So if boiling water quickly is your main aim, then a kettle is best. But if you only have an induction cooktop, it's not too bad. Personally, I am looking at induction cooktops/kettles for the quiet. My range hood fan is next to my living room and is annoyingly loud on low. Using an induction cooktop/kettle would be: 1. quieter 2. quicker 3. better air quality

My induction stove is quite the opposite, it takes forever to heat up. and when it’s heated and i wanna lower the temperature, it takes forever to go down.

It works initially. It won't cook twice faster than the gas one, because when the water boils the temperature won't go any higher than 212 degrees, therefore for cooking it saves energy but not 100% as for boiling water.

Comments online are getting heated on this topic (no pun). I have only one opinion about induction: You simply cannot lift the pan like I do most of the time in most situation when I cook on gas or even on regular electric glass tops. I like to finish a meal hovering the pan over the flame to get exactly where I want to. But thats just me. I know the newer induction stoves are better than the previous ones so I will stay open to the idea but I fear I won't ever quite like induction stoves for actually cooking. One thing I can definitely see, tho: Small portable induction plates are an *excellent* device to use for deep frying (no flame. precise temperature control and auto shut off).
