Chief, you didn't mention that not all pots and pans will work with an induction cook top. The rule is if the bottom of the pan won't hold a magnet, it won't work.
Good point. That's a good and easy rule. I think the pots have to have nice, flat bottoms too - no wobbly old pots that work fine on gas.Chief, you didn't mention that not all pots and pans will work with an induction cook top.

Janet,
I'm in the market for a new range, too. I will have to go electric as we cannot afford to have the house switched over for natural gas in the kitchen. Have about settled on a low-priced LG carried by Home Depot...they deliver and install.

For aluminium or non-metallic cookware, you can buy an induction burner adapter from Amazon.comOr if like us you still have some of the old Corningware that is designed for both oven and stovetop. Or like my father-in-law still has, Visions glass cookware.
Gas definitely keeps one's options open.
