    Everything you just said was wrong. There's no feedback from the coil, no temperature sensor, just a dumb switch that uses duty cycle to control output.

    Whereas gas is a steady heat, and the heat output can be gauged by eye.

    Technically they're correct, they're referring to an induction stovetop. Induction stovetops are sort of like magic. That being said, old non-induction electric stovetops are cheeks.

    This document is an electrical schematic for an air switch on an oven.

    We're talking about the stove, or range. That's the flat bit on top where you put pots and pans, an oven is the box you put food in that gets hot.

    Youre also assuming that you cook every dish at the same temperature the whole time. Gas changes immediately, and if you turn it off, its off. Electric takes longer to change temp and continues to heat and cook after the elements are off.

    I find your elitist attitude amusing. Have you ever worked in a kitchen with a real chef?

    I can not agree more. While I will admit my electric range knowledge is limited while my gas range knowledge is pretty high. I bought a house with an electric stove I put some oil in my pan turned the eye on and let it warm while I was cutting veggies or something else it had not been more then maybe 2 minutes and the oil burned to the pan. On gas i have never had that issue. It seems no matter what I do on electric I always burn. I admit it may be my lack of knowledge.

    Elitist and I'm arguing against the flamboyant and expensive option that only exists to enrich the wealthy?

    My gas stove was cheaper than an induction cooktop to buy, runs off bottled LPG, and uses a bottle about twice a year. I probably spend a hundred dollars a year running it.

    Also, every high end kitchen uses gas. Are you suggesting they don't know what they're doing?

    Everything you've said so far has been absolutely wrong, and frankly you're just embarrassing yourself.
