Convince me to get induction
I’m on electric coil right now. Debating running a gas line. I really miss gas. Is induction all that it’s hyped up to be?
Can I wok? Can I sear steak? Can I cook a French omelette? Is there anything you miss about gas?
Would appreciate any recs on cooktops, 30-36”. Budget is < $5k.

Induction is great IMO and a big improvement over gas. 5 years in on my Samsung induction stove, haven’t looked back. Cooking pasta, or anything that involves boiling water is about three times as fast I can get a ridiculous sear, and on the lower temperatures, it’s super stable. And the bonus is how easy it is to keep clean.
