Resistance electric burners really are shit. If you’ve never cooked on one, it’s hard to express just how much a game changer induction is. Not to mention people’s legacy of copper, stainless, and aluminium cookware.

Electric resistance or infrared simply doesn’t have the response time. Plus many of them don’t actually have “medium” but just do on/off at 50% duty cycle (I can’t remember what that’s called) so there’s absolutely no nuance to them. Many of the induction stoves share this problem with the added complexity of delicate circuitry. There’s a lot of talk about air quality with gas stoves and I am not going to downplay that, because electric isn’t a magic switch - most people don’t have adequate ventilation to keep the VOC and PM levels in check when cooking on an electric stove let alone gas.
