It’s a balancing test. Cooking on electric stoves is a far worse experience than cooking on gas. Induction stovetops are somewhat better than the classical electric tops that generate heat through resistance, but only somewhat.

I am stuck using an electric stovetop, and will replace it with an induction one soon, but I would switch to gas in a heartbeat if it were available.

Induction is not electric in English? Btw my induction stove heats up everything way quicker than any gas stove which I ever used.

Yes, the "let's heat a plate of metal" -type ancient electric stoves suck.

Ceramic ones suck a bit less, induction is pretty damn good.
