The nice thing about gas stoves is they get hot instantly. I now have an induction stove and it’s a lot slower.

    Every study I've seen comparing gas and induction stoves shows induction stoves boiling water more quickly. Have you measured it?

    Edit: Are you thinking of electric or induction? They're different.

    I have measured it. I have to change my coffee preparation technique depending on the stove.

    On resistive or radiant electric stoves, I turn the heat on under the kettle, then grind the coffee add the filter. The water reaches a boil in about the time it takes to do those tasks.

    With induction I have to turn on the stove last because its just too fast.

    Gas is by far the worst and involves waiting around for minutes for the water to get anywhere close to temperature.

    I measured my water on a scale, and timed how long it took for to boil water for my morning coffee. Same water, same kettle. It was a while back, but as I recall it was around 8m to boil on gas, about 4m to boil on electric. Resistive or radiant made no noticeable difference, and induction took around 2m.

    Why do people praise has for being so quick to get hot then? I guess maybe for more precise things?

    A stove should have range. Boiling water is testing the top of the range. Gas is also worse at simmering. Resistive electric delivers much more consistant low heat than gas.

    Fuck gas stoves. Takes more than twice as long to boil water compared to induction.

    In my experience its twice as long as resistive electric, which is twice as long as induction. Gas is 4 times slower in my testing.

    Please give details on your testing because your results are completely opposite from everyone else's.
