The home appliance industry would like you to believe that gas-burning stoves are not a risk to your health – and several companies that make the devices are scrambling to erase their prior acknowledgements that they are.

    Non-induction yes. Induction no.

    Non-induction ones don’t count as modern stoves, they are last century’s tech.

    But if you know what you are doing, the uneven heating can even be an advantage. You basically get different heat zones for free, so you can use part of the pan to brown stuff and the other side to keep things warm without burning them.

    But yeah, get induction. It’s the perfect technology.

      Except it doesn’t work with every pan. I love induction but some pans I love don’t work with it.

        True, but there’s a simple fix: replace that one or two ancient pans that you still have hanging around.

          I’m curious how cast iron pans work with induction. I feel like I’d be constantly afraid of scratching/breaking the glass on top.

          Makes sense, but also no

          (we have a standard flat top and a separate induction hahaha)
