    We recently switched to induction at home. The benefits are awesome:

    • no smell
    • much higher efficiency
    • automatically turns off when there are no pots on the stove
    • a special mode for frying which regulates the temperature of oil to prevent it from burning
    • no heat leaking to the sides of the pot, so the handles remain cold (of course until heat conductivity comes to play) Absolutely no regrets.

      I think the only downside is the parts are astronomical should something break or need replacement. Otherwise I’d love a cooktop.

      Induction is amazing. No downsides compared to any other technology (maybe except price, but it’s not that crazy anymore either).

      I cannot understand why anyone would use anything else in a new kitchen.

      Which brand did you pick up? I’m shopping.

        I just checked, this specific model seems to be unavailable in the US - the cheapest option from Bosch is Series 500 for ~$1,800 (woah)

          Yeah, that’s ok maybe the IRA here can help offset. I don’t know if they include anything for electric appliances.
