@Westcoastmaven@mastodon.social @davidho@mastodon.world possibly overstated. Whilst there is some risk. British heart foundation have this to say: “Induction hobs do generate electromagnetic fields, so keep a distance of at least 60cm (2ft) between the stovetop and your pacemaker. Most people should be able to use a hob if they follow these precautions, but if you are choosing a new cooker, it may be easier to pick one that is not an induction hob.” There remain electric options that, whilst maybe a bit slower than induction, are still perfectly good and better than gas.

@Wifiwits@infosec.exchange Induction is pretty much the standard here, and is frequently used by people with pacemakers. Ceramic tops are definitely not better than gas when it comes to cooking, but I would still rather have that than gas in the kitchen. Gas is for outside, on special occasions, when grilling. @Westcoastmaven@mastodon.social @davidho@mastodon.world
