When I cook, I like to look at the size of the flame. One can't do that with induction. I must admit, I am resistant to change and this induction technology is one I'm not on board with. I have my very favorite every day pots and a magnet does not adhere to their bottoms.

My daughter is going to the Culinary Institute of America next year and the Chief gave us a cooking demo and was using an induction cooktop, I guess their instructors are not good cooks.

Like I mentioned earlier, I have a lifetime of using gas, and the last 5 years I have a Bosch Induction. With gas, I can minutely adjust the flame and it is clearly visible how much or how little I have adjusted it. With induction, I get to choose setting 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, etc. I have no idea how much or how little it is adjusted between each setting.

Still prefer gas. Can't make tortillas on an induction absent a cast iron plancha and oil.

Learning new stuff is always difficult.

You feel as I do. I like to SEE the flame when I adjust it.
