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.

I've used induction cooktops that are duty cycle based, they just do it a lot faster, fast enough that the interruption in heat isn't noticeable.

You can hear them cycling on and off.
