Personally, I gotta disagree. I do have a Bosch induction, and while it is far better than electric, it is still not the live flame, precise control, instant even temperature way to cook. Especially roasting the peppers (yes thanks Coffeebean, we do that also) and toasting tortillas. Induction might be fine for the French or gringos or whomever fancies themselves Chefs (Cheves?), but not for us
