Induction is best in theory, however in practice it’s unfortunately often paired with these shitty buttonless capacitive controls that are harder to decipher that hieroglyphics as well as “”“smart”“” features

They do still sell induction stoves with classic dumb buttons but they are either hard to come buy or aimed at professional chefs, which instantly adds two zeros to their price

Mine has simple capacitive controls. Turn it on, higher number is more hotter. Very simple.

Apparently it has other features, not bothered with them.

  My stove apparently has wifi. But why I would put that thing on my network is beyond me.

    Wifire sounds like a 90s hard drive protocol.

Tbf the flat buttonless style makes them really easy to clean.

The interfaces are usually really bad, yes. The technology itself still makes up for this particular shortcoming, but they need to step up their game.

Yeah, I hate the interfaces, but especially the super-loud non-mutable beeps which seem to be common on every model I’ve seen. My two-burner induction setup has analog knobs for temp control, which is awesome, but it stills beep when you turn them, with every single temperature increase. Drives me crazy.

I’ll never go back to gas though. My new apartment came with a gorgeous brand new gas range, and it absolutely sucks compared to my $50 countertop induction.

I have a regular flat top glass stove WITH KNOBS that works with ALL PANS, not just magnetic… then I have a standalone induction unit for when I need to really crank up the heat.

Works a dream!

  That one that works with all pans is an electric resistance coil. It’s slow as molasses. But hey, more power to you if you can use it well. I have a standalone induction unit as well and it’s amazing how little I have to use anything else.

    It’s slower than induction, but not bad at all for most things! When I’m too lazy to pull out the induction burner and need to boil water, I just use my electric kettle to boil it while heating up a little bit on the stove.
    
    I need to get some more pans that work with my induction burner.

Induction also doesn’t work with aluminum items like a moka pot without an “induction adapter” which is just a steel plate.
