inductions great electric is bad they're different technologies electric hobs are just a thing that gets hot and they're very inefficient induction does it through magnets they're very efficient and responsive getting hot really quickly and cold really quickly when you turn them off which also makes them safer electric takes forever to heat up or cool down though and also from what I remember I might be wrong is actually so energy inefficient that it's worse for the planet than gas hobs
Could you add some punctuation?
Anyways, that's not true. Resistive heating elements are on par with gas fire elements for heating things, and much better for the environment than gas stoves. A resistive element will heat a liter of water 30 seconds faster than a gas element, while also not excessively heating the room or burning fossil fuels in your house. The old school metal coils are even more efficient than glasstop stoves and more reactive to changing the heating element. However, as you pointed out, all resistive electric stoves are slower to react than gas.
no I hate punctuation
No, I hate. Punctuation?
