Old oven died. Installed the new one today

Go with induction if you can. Gas isn't great health wise.
While it's nice being able to cook during a power outage, a camp stove is usually sufficient.
-
Induction woks are a thing
-
Looks beautiful. Hope you have better luck than I did with that narrow, low-sided grill. I found that grease and food were constantly falling over those edges. Stopped using the thing after a few months. I really miss my old grill.
-
How proud you must be. And rightfully so.
-
If you really love cooking with a wok, you can buy specialized induction stoves. There's absolutely no reason to poison yourself with gas.
-
why didn’t you go with induction?
My European mind cannot comprehend buying a gas appliance in 2025.
-
you can buy one of those induction hotplates if you want to try it out
-
Water cannot ignite. Don't be blown.
-
Well, there go my plans for the weekend.
-
I wish it will serve you well. Bon appetite!
-
It's so much easier to cook omelettes on the griddle, too.
Just avoid hamburgers and bacon. Way too much grease.
-
I am in EU:
- Preference. Some people dislike induction due to worse cooking quality.
- You need to buy shit cimpatible with induction
- I thought about induction. Was enough for electrical installation in my home to catch fire. And I only semi-joke, because the bitch did catch a fire. I'd neew to invest in rewiring to be able to use induction.
-
What did you do with the old one?
This handful of screwdrivers? Don't worry about that, I always carry these just in case.
-
Induction doesn't cook worse than gas. That's just decades long gas industry propaganda. Induction, and even just resistive electric, is so so much nicer than gas. It's crazy how people have been literally gaslit by gas companies.
The only things not compatible, at least the vast majority, are cheap aluminum pans. When we made the switch, all the pans were owned were compatible.
Wiring and cost are the only valid reasons not to go with induction.

Heh, you see...I don't have slightest idea. But everyone I know who can actually cooks swears that gas just cooks better. Taste wise. And a lot of these people didn't hear the propaganda, that's just their own experience. I talk about both professionals and casuals. Effin weird.
My theoriy is that induction does change taste, not much but enough for people who know what to look for to notice it's different than home cooking. Thus evoking feeling of something being amiss and thus making stuff iffy.
And a lot of households where I live still have incompatible cookware.
But overall, I am on your side, I'd love to have induction but again...wires + fire = bad :<
-
As a semi professional cook, let me assure you it doesn't change the flavor. I could talk about this for a long time.
The gist of it is this. Old electric cook tops, the crappy coil kind, really did suck. And at that time, gas was far better. But things have changed. Cooks, like so many other professions, hold on to old dogma and do not like letting go.
Add on top of that gas industry lobbying and advertising, and you get myths that stick, and stick hard.
-
Thanks for PoV. Now I know what to think about this even less!
Still want an induction tho.
-
If there's anyone who's going to gaslight, gas companies seem a probable candidate.
-
With your new oven, you can make a huge pita without having to install a new floor.
-
What's up with that floor?
