Yes, but…

Cooking itself also does this. If you are searing or frying that will also release dangerous particulates. Make sure you have and use a vent hood that vents outside the living space when you cook regardless of fuel.

I can say from personal experience of using every kind of home stove, that gas is both the worst and slowest. Boiling water for my morning coffee is fastest on induction, which takes about half the time as resistive or radiant electric, and gas takes nearly three times longer than that.

Though it might just be the american style of burner that directs the flame away from the center of the pan. I’ve not yet tried any other kind.

How lomg does boiling water with a good kettle take? It takes like 60s to boil water for me.

  What heat source are you using? In my experience induction about matches electric kettles.

    In poland before kettles, we used to boil water using gas and that always took ages

It probably has to do with the type of burner I’m going to guess.

We’ve had both induction and electric stoves for our whole lives. And the home we recently moved into has a fancy dancy natural gas stove with star shaped burners.

It is night and day compared to anything else we’ve used before, water boils so much faster, I can actually sear a pen full of vegetables now instead of just making them mushy.

Honestly I love it. I just wish the hood wasn’t so shitty and actually had a hood to capture all of the output from the stove.

  I’ve got a gas stove that I love, but my shitty little induction hotplate that I hate for anything other than searing is better at searing. It’ll get a cast iron pan up to 700-800 degrees and my carbon steel gets to like 900, which is perfect for searing.
  
  But the damn thing turns off when I try to toss anything, and it can’t maintain a low temperature because the pulse-width modulation is 1Hz.

  Check and see if you need to change the filter in the hood.

    You can wash the oil out of metal hood-filters, in the dishwasher.
    
    (Extra: Heat-pump(reverse-cycle) air-conditioner filters can be washed out with water, takes 5 minutes)

    Oh dear Lord. The hood has a filter???
    
    Yeah, that’s probably fucked up, none of the filters in anything in this house had been changed in years when we got the place. The filter for the furnace was black.
    
    And it’s been over a year since then I’m sure if the hood fan has a filter it’s absolutely disgusting.
    
    But I also meant that the hood could have a shape to it so that it collects air from the front burners which it doesn’t.

    Yeah, fam… airborne grease particles. They’re the reason for hood fan filters, and the reason they clog. I would recommend getting a full box of nitrile gloves. And definitely clean the screen cover over the filter.
