Sous Chef
I lived in Wisconsin until I made the move to SW Florida nine years ago. We always had gas cooktops and loved them. This part of Florida does not have natural gas lines so unless you bury a propane tank in the yard you're stuck with radiant electric cooktops. My wife and I hate them. Temperature control is next to impossible and they stay hot (read dangerous) much too long after use.
A few months ago we decided to update the kitchen with stainless steel appliances. After reading up on induction heating we decided to give it a whirl and bought a 36" cooktop with 4 radiant and 2 induction stations. I'm hooked. Induction works almost as well as gas and I guess it's a lot less expensive, especially with rising energy prices. -- don't ask what I paid for the cooktop as I doubt there will be a saving in the long run. I avoid using the radiant elements as much as possible.
Anyone else using them?
