She doesn't appreciate a nice looking sumptuous rack?
That just looks awesome!
More fest food leftovers... Beet pickled eggs.
Next time you fix that, let me know - I'll bring your wife a Happy Meal in exchange for her share of that meal!

Porcini mushroom risotto with shallots cooked in a combination broth of chicken bone broth and an american pale ale. Garlic butter used as the oil base.
I paired it pepper encrusted fresh blackfin tuna from this weekend (we caught over 100lbs of tuna!).
Sourdough bread as the compliment.

How do you like that cooktop? I'm just starting to think about the kitchen remodel I want to do in the spring and an induction cooktop is high on my list!

Aside from the occasional inconvenience of not being able to use a specific pot I own (i.e. my large aluminum pressure cooker for canning) I wouldnt trade it. Heat control, ease of Cleanup and speed of heating are incredible. If you have the $, buy the cooktop that is a "zone free" surface (the entire surface is an element). Gives more flexibility on space.
Beet pickles egg, grilled beer brined chicken, warm German potato salad and steamed veg. Yes, fest leftovers.

Just strips. Don't feel like rabbit food today
Proper skilletware!
Buy a $50 electric induction plate off amazon to test it out. See if you like it. I’m glad I did.
At 1800W it’s a water boiling monster that rivals even my large gas burner all without heating up the kitchen on a hot summer day - definitely it’s killer app.
I found it difficult to cook certain things the same way as gas though. Can’t make a properly grilled sandwich to save my life on it.
If the only option is electric then it’s the best option, but IMHO if I had option to choose I’d go gas. So now I have my normal gas range and I use my induction 3-4 times a week to extend my cook top space. Perfect for boiling water or cooking a rice or pasta side dish.

I vote GAS. I plan on replacing mine with gas as soon as I redo the kitchen. We not have gas, but I do have a large propane tank for the pool heater that I will plumb to. I really miss my old gas range
Of course, I cook on the porch on my beer burner a lot anyway

OK, you two with experience I value - why do you prefer the gas over the induction? I DO have gas and have had for many years - but have thought the induction might be preferable. Would love specifics here!

4 lbs of Polish Sausage is on the smoker.

Gas
Pros - fast, cheap, even, fairly high btu, can run low, responsive, free heat in winter
Cons - requires gas service, heats up kitchen in summer
Traditional electric
Pros - cheap and readily available
Cons - unresponsive, slow to heat, max btu not very high, uneven if using coil type
Induction
Pros - lightning fast response, efficient, very little waste heat leaks into kitchen,
Cool surface not very hot even after long cook cycle.
Cons - noisy, expensive, requires compatible cookware (no aluminum, glass or some stainless), only bottom of pan gets heated (sides don’t get super hot), doesn’t run well really low
I’d consider doing a 4 burner gas range with 2 burner induction range side by side. Standard electric coil or halogen electric is a non-starter for me.
I prefer gas as well. MIL has an induction range, which is better than coil electric, though I find I can regulate the heat of a gas range much more finely. Of course there are more surfaces to clean with gas, and the induction top seemed to need a wipe everyday. Just my two cents.

I like electric. As I understand it, there was a time that gas probably was the superior choice, but I don't think that's the case now. Without getting into too much detail, I believe electric to be the better choice. But ultimately everyone should go with what they already have or get both. It's not uncommon for people to have both. I noticed Gorden Ramseys, new kitchen has electric or maybe it's induction , a griddle in the middle , a grill in the middle I think , and also gas. This is probably the ideal setup. We remodeled our house and I was running gas fireplaces and ultimately could have installed a gas range very easily if I wanted. So I set about on researching, which one I needed. Obviously, it seems people will state they prefer whatever they have. Some people even make strong opinions about one side or another even if they have never used it.
Everyone knows me well enough to know that I judge things mostly for myself and don't have any affiliation for things unless I like them. For example, I don't love gas because my mom used it, etc. I noticed my friend is like this. It's like KitchenAid and Cuisinart are friends that are being insulted or something. Surfing through this opinion-based information ultimate reveals a different picture. I think one of the best advantages of gas is brewing. My friend turns on all his burners and puts a big pot over them. I really admire and like that he can do that. Also to see the level of heat is good. This consumer reports article articulates a lot of why I like electric or more importantly made my decision easy, to not go out of my way in expense etc to have gas. The end of the article states a key point. There are outstanding and poor quality of both.
3600 watts. Thats what my stove is and the warm plate is nice to. 3600 watts is no brewing joke and I just didnt want to mar my new stove up or I would be on it. With a flat pot, 3600 watts will do a substanial job on 5 g batches. Induction plates have been reported as working great by hbt members, and its pretty cool. I like the cool touch factor. Bottom line, I think go with what you have or both. I dont see based on this quality research and plenty more of it the need to switch. Honestly, I wasnt thrilled to have another gas line running under my family either, as silly as that probably is. My 2c plus a little
Ps that gorgeous stove is awesome.
Pps I like the fire ovens I have seen in italian kitchens.

Schematix summed it up beautifully. To me, it boils down to being able to look at the flame and instantly adjust it to exactly the level I want with no lag time in the setting. I have not cooked on an induction range, but it would rule out several pots that I frequently use. And there is no fire. I like fire
We were getting ready for my grandma's 80th birthday party in Brookings OR, heating up a bunch of Costco lasagnas, when the power went out city-wide. Since Brookings is an all-electric town, dinner was postponed until the power came back on. My NG has never gone out.

I was just going to add the obvious, one can cook what is defrosting during an extended power outage! LOL In my home we have gas for the hot water and the stove, we are fed and not stinky in a power outage. The cost of electric is pretty high here as well.

Thats a key point and an important part of gas appliances. A gas grill is an excellent quick work around for those with electric. And speaking of which, I can't believe how well this little Weber works as an oven.
