Hi everyone, we are renovating our kitchen. I currently enjoy the timer/keep warm feature we currently have in our induction stove. Our new kitchen has gas. I am collecting feedback on which one is better. I do a lot of cooking. Thanks in advance.
There are those that swear by gas/propane. There are others who only know electric and have no relevance to gas. But, that’s about “cooking”.
If you want to talk efficiency- induction is the answer. More of the energy created is used directly to cooking. And since it’s quicker, less energy is consumed.
well I like gas because you can still use your stovetop if you have a power outage. Our water heater is gas - so we will still have hot water. And we have an old fashioned wall heater in our bathroom - 1920's house - that can still be used if power is out
An induction stove uses about 15A per burner. This means a 4 burner stove could conceivably use 60 AMPS. That's a whale of a lot of electricity. Granted, it's for a short time period, but that's still enough to run 2 houses with air conditioning...
Using that much power might heat up more than just the stove top burners...

It really helped during the Snovid in Texas.
I've really appreciated being able to cook and especially boil water during power outages. I have a camp stove, but using the range is easier.
Yep gas would be my choice as well . I cant wait to get another gas stove so i can use my stainless steel pots and pans . I cant use stainless steel on my smooth top stove which i hate .

Not always. There are induction cooktops which only require 30 amps connection.
We couldn’t decide, so we’re going to pair a 24” gas cooktop with a 24” induction cooktop.
