Chefs increasingly agree with me, nothing beats an induction cooktop. You can even buy an excellent portable one for less than $100, if money is tight, we did that for a few years before upgrading the kitchen. The portables can then be used to cook anywhere. I won't burn gas inside the house now, it's methane, the combustion gases and solids it produces are nasty, and not flued at all. Plus induction cooks faster and more precisely, you get amazing and as good as instant temperature control. Add a solar system and you also cook for free, gas prices just gone up again! And so easy to clean, compared to a gas cooktop.
