I have a hybrid cooktop. one burner is radiant, the other is induction. this solves all my problems.
I also regularly buy bar keepers friend to clean the pots as stuff stuck outside those pots tend to get fiercely stuck when not using LPG.
Me the broke ass with a concrete rocket stove as backup.
Within two weeks my gas stove and oven are getting chucked out the door. Replaced with an induction stove top and a convection/steam oven/air fryer.
Induction is the best cooktop tech for daily use, and that’s a hill I’m willing to die on. I live in a rented place and cannot simply get rid of our gas range. However, it has a piece of kitchen counter placed on top of it and is only in use for its oven, which thankfully is electric. On top of the counter though? An induction hob.
Maybe, but its also the only cooktop tech that can interfere with implanted electronic medical devices like pacemakers.
and since I have people with pacemakers in my family, I hard avoid induction.
Deyre goin to take muh gas stowve
They better. It’s already affecting your spelling part of the brain
That was just parody.
Imagine having less asthma in kids and the elderly! Imagine having your inside air be less ubhealthy
Call me a dumbass, but until a couple of years ago I had no clue anything was unhealthy about gas.
CH4 + O2 + fire -> CO2 + H2O
I suspect most of Gen X and earlier still believe gas stoves to be harmless.
Cannot roast marshmallows OR light a joint, literally what is this used for???
Who the hell roasts marshmallows inside???
Also buy yourself a lighter
People with proper stoves.
And I’ve got a lighter, it weighs 200lb, has four burner heads and gets my hair for me at the same time.

Aka the mentally unwell.
Good to hear you have a non portable lighter.
Dr says the fumes are good for my mental health.
Handheld lighters are fine for beginners or if you really need to be able to move your lighter, but if you look at any enthusiast or professional setup you’re gonna see fixed / static lighters most of the time. Handheld lighters just don’t have the stability or lighting capacity needed for more serious applications.
I see. You must be a real lightsr enthusiast to be so invested in serious heavy duty lighters

dude this is the fediverse what did you expect to find here
I was not expecting anything.
Upvote for funny.
Man, so many people have zero sense of humor.
Y’all motherfuckers arguing about burners like the best food isn’t cooked with woodsmoke
Well I aint gonna set up a campfire in my tiny kitchen any time soon y’know
Indoor smokers that contain and/or filter the smoke are a thing. No personal experience with them, but I know they exist.
Probably wildly impractical to be honest
This is the part where Lemmy’s demographics leaves little room for others to speak without accused of an ecological terrorist.
Induction stoves aren’t compatible with a lot of ethnic cuisines. Chinese and Mexican food require gas stoves for a lot of applications like woks and charring vegetables. Curved induction stoves are not widely and affordably available in the US, and landlords would never bother installing specialty stoves like this. Having to get a separate gas stove to put on already limited counter space and rendering regular stoves useless is frustrating. The oven broiler is nowhere as ergonomic and effective as a stove top broiler and it’s back breaking having to duck and constantly check because you cannot see what you are charring. This is just two of many other ethnic cuisines that are impacted by this.
Please let people, especially female minorities who are disproportionately impacted by this, keep one of our last vestiges of cultural ties. If it comes to ecological impact, there are so many other aspects in life down to the very phone you are using and clothing on your back that can be improved upon.
Lemmy, for better or for worse, is a very tech-bro environment. I know that this makes matters like cooking seemingly trivial and gas stoves to be in excess. But for many of us, the meals we cook are the last things we hold on to after our languages and national identity fade away. Meals made without an open flame are simply not the same because many techniques cannot be done without it.
Many techniques can be replicated on an induction stove mainly because induction is way better at heating the pans than gas is. Unless you have a really strong industrial gas stove you are jot getting any benefits pf gas over induction anyway.
And this post is not erasing your culture/ cuisine so stop playing the victim and keep using whatever you want. I honestly don’t care if you cook on a campfire inside your kitchen if that is what you prefer or the specific dish requires.
But the point stands that for most people and most applications in cooking induction just is the best.
Tell me you don’t know how to cook ethnic cuisines without telling me. This is the kind of tech-bro arrogance that presumes everything is easy and therefore replaceable with technology.
Calling it ‘playing the victim’ is straightup gaslighting and ignorance at its peak. ‘For most people’ means for people who are either white, don’t cook much, or both. It’s a time old tale of instituting a policy that in practice primarily affects minorities and women, but then claiming that it’s egalitarian because it targets neither on paper.

What kind of policy am I instituting here? What the fuck are you even on about? Get a grip, seriously.
And stop taking memes in a shitpost comunity to heart and being offended by a stupid stove argument meme.
Can’t justify it. I run one burner on my gas stove for about seven minutes a day. That’s it. It’s paid for and gas is dirt cheap here. Seven minutes a day gas fume exposure is not what will end up killing me.
Sure, if you cook all day, reducing big pots of stock for hours at a time, etc., then it makes sense. But, it’s not for everyone.
Well I do more than just 7 min of cooking per day so I prefer induction. You could probably do without a stove in the first place then
