I don’t remember what my reluctance was based on. I just did some reading. I think I’m sold on induction. Hell, electricity is so expensive up here, the efficiency alone is a huge selling point.

Induction is so good. I have a glass top electric, but I bought a single burner induction for setting on the counter, and that thing is crazy.

My only complaints are coil ring/whine with my laminated steel pans, and also it's too powerful, with not enough resolution in the lower power range.

It has 8 power levels. I use level 3 for making smash burgers (I put the whole thing on the porch to keep the grease/smoke outside. I don't have a range vent), and it's just a little too hot for that. Like a Blackstone grill on full blast.

Level 2 is just a little too cool for proper smash burgers.

Level 8 is insane, boils water practically instantly. When I first tried making smash burgers with it, I started at level 5 or 6, and literally burned the outside of the patties like charcoal. I didn't notice because I was upwind of the "steam" which was actually a horrible smoke. Ruined the first couple of patties before getting it dialed in.

Induction is ridiculously efficient. All 1500w straight into the pan and nowhere else.

I still recommend it though, it's the future. Under glass coils are annoying to cook with. You get used to it, but eh. Gas just makes the house hot and stinky, burns your pan handles and spoon/spatula handles, and makes my family's asthma act up. I'll never go gas again.
