    We recently switched to induction at home. The benefits are awesome:

    • no smell
    • much higher efficiency
    • automatically turns off when there are no pots on the stove
    • a special mode for frying which regulates the temperature of oil to prevent it from burning
    • no heat leaking to the sides of the pot, so the handles remain cold (of course until heat conductivity comes to play)

    Absolutely no regrets.

      Induction is amazing. No downsides compared to any other technology (maybe except price, but it’s not that crazy anymore either).

      I cannot understand why anyone would use anything else in a new kitchen.

      I think the only downside is the parts are astronomical should something break or need replacement. Otherwise I’d love a cooktop.

        Bosch Series 6 (PIE651FC1E). I bought it in Slovakia for about 700€ last year (the cost was lower due to it being second hand - unpacked - though luckily I haven’t noticed any significant defects). Now it goes for ~850€ (the cost may be higher in the US).

        I just checked, this specific model seems to be unavailable in the US - the cheapest option from Bosch is Series 500 for ~$1,800 (woah)

          Yeah, that’s ok maybe the IRA here can help offset. I don’t know if they include anything for electric appliances.
