My parents are snooty foodies who badmouthed electric stoves for decades even when I explained that gas was bad for the environment. But once I showed them my induction stove they were sold and never looked back.

This is/was me, and you've given me hope I will beable to adapt to induction, whenever that day comes.

I’m just trying to learn now from a recent conversion and I’m amazed at how quickly pans heat up compared to gas. I have this one pasta meal down to a science, knowing exactly what I could do while waiting for the water to boil and the skillet to heat up, but now my process is out of wack because it was so quick.
