The more I think about it, I’m not really sure why a high end stove wouldn’t have both options? Why not have half the burners for each? Or 2 burners gas up front, one induction and everything in back is induction?

The other thing I personally don’t like and maybe I’m just rough on cooking and cookware, I don’t like the glass top. I don’t like the feeling of a big heavy cast iron piece on it and I just feel like I need to baby it compared to a nice cast iron gas stove top.

This might also be a reason many restaurants don’t shift to induction. Then again, maybe there’s a more durable commercial grade product better suited for restaurants with line cooks that don’t give a shite about somebody else’s property.

I have both, best of both worlds but prefer gas 90% of the time. Given the weather the last week I definitely would rather have gas vs induction if I could only have one.

When my house loses electricity, it’s usually brief. The only time long term electricity loss was an issue was during Harvey.

I just used my outdoor propane burners.

Now that I’ve switched to induction, I don’t see me going back to gas in any future home. Never thought I’d be that guy.

I did maintain a 2nd home for a few years that had gas, but it simply was never as good as induction. If it wasn’t a rental, I definitely would have converted to induction.

do miss the gas especially when we have weather like this week, or worried about power outages

Agreed. Fortunately we have induction in downtown condos that rarely have power outages. During Laura we had a house in Alexandria with gas and I was thanking God for that. Otherwise, induction all the way.
