Interesting, as there was an article linked either from HN or Pocket about how a lot of "gas is better for cooking" was deliberate advertising campaigns:

The two things that stop us from removing the gas all together:
- A few pans that we haven’t replaced with induction compatible ones
- The gas stove came with the house and works OK
If the house hadn’t come with gas induction would be fine with us- works great.
Side question: do induction stoves have proper power levels yet? I used an induction stove a few years ago at a short-term vacation rental, and it could only toggle between on/off. If I set it at 50% power, it would cycle between being on and off, rather than staying on 100% of the time but at 50% power. My non-induction electric stove does the same thing. Is this an issue that is solved with higher end models?
No matter how stupid they may be, just because advertising campaigns say something, doesn't make it false.[0]
