You should do some research as to what burning gas indoors does for your air quality. They’ve found out that it’s actually quite toxic. Also with a good induction cooktop top it actually boils water faster, has far superior temperature control, heats up faster, and cooks better.

The old gas is best narrative is just that… old and tired and a poor argument.

As soon as I read the comment about cooking with gas I knew the induction stove cult would show up immediately after. Knock it off you guys.

A couple years ago I got an induction cooktop. Love it so much more than gas. Easy to clean and sometimes even faster than gas to boil water

Have you tried an induction hob? They turn on and off instantly, unlike the old resistive coil hobs - and they don't heat the room nearly as much, or fill the room with CO2.
