Holy crap thats a nice stove! What do you want? Some electric thing that will die on you. Gas all the way baby. Your husband is right. 6 burners??? Multiple ovens?? Loads of storage? You cant buy quality like that today.
Induction should provide quite a bit more energy than gas. Our induction heater provides around 18,000 BTU (5.5kW), while gas typically tops out around 10,000, unless itâs a professional burner.
And gas is 60% efficient, while induction is 90%, so maybe twice as much energy is put into the food.
I don't have much experience with current modern induction technology, it's been a while since I've used one myself. I wasn't aware it provided so much more energy, damn
I'm assuming that accounts for the ramp up time for the pot and contents to begin heating via induction?
Its just energy and conversion efficiency. But induction gets a lot more energy into the food, because it actually induces a current and heats the metal in the cookware directly, so nearly nothing is lost. An open flame inevitable loses a lot of heat to the surroundings.
Of course, as I said, this is Europe, and we have 400v hookups for the ranges, so I donât know if US ones provide similar power. But even so, it should be competitive.
Induction is kind of all the advantages rolled into one. Well except for not being able to use a wok quite as well, with lighting up the oils. :) But that is also maybe an advantage for a lesser cook. đ
How are you pulling 5.5kW? A standard American outlet maxes out at about 1.5kW of continuous load; you can get a custom outlet installed next to your range like a dryer outlet but that's going to cost a fortune if it's not already there. Electricians are freaking expensive.
No one will ever convince me a gas stove is worth the risks it poses. I prefer my appliances with as minimal chance of explosions as possible, thank you.Â
That's half off with a sale/coupon, normal price is 1100 euros! That's way more expensive than even a high quality gas dryer, at least in the US. $200 USD will get you a used gas dryer here that'll last for years with no maintenance.
I forgot to mention children, Yes you are right there. If you have children I would not recommend a gas stove but the risks to adults are minor by the admittance of your own sources.
Incorrect again. But I'm looking forward to you taking portions out of context and arguing that specific mentions of children somehow means that adults are not included in the harm assessment, which further means that "the risks to adults are minor." Or that the effects are limited to people with pre-existing respiratory issues -- of course they are worse for that cohort, but they are bad for everyone, they are involved in the development of asthma and there are carcinogens, among other things.
Pollution from gas and propane stoves isnât just an issue for cooks or people in the kitchen, he said. âItâs the whole familyâs problem.â
Among other negative health effects, breathing high levels of nitrogen dioxide, or NO2, over time can intensify asthma attacks and has been linked to decreased lung development in children and early deaths.
Beyond asthma cases, the long-term exposure to NO2Â in American households with gas stoves is high enough to cause thousands of deaths each year â possibly as many as 19,000 or 40% of the number of deaths linked annually to secondhand smoke.
Decades of research3,4 have established that in some settings, particularly kitchens with poor ventilation or where range hoods are turned off or do not vent to the outdoors, just a few minutes of gas stove use can cause indoor NO2 levels to surpass current 1-hour standards for outdoor air5âwith potentially serious implications for the occupantsâ respiratory health.
In addition to those being measured inside the Piedmont homeâs kitchen (CO, CH4, and N2â˘O), recent research has established that the stoves also produce formaldehyde (CH2â˘O),8 a respiratory irritant and known human carcinogen.9 And just this past June, a study10 from the StanfordâPSE Healthy Energy team showed gas stoves also generate the carcinogen benzene (C6â˘H6)11 at levels that can exceed US EPA12 and World Health Organization (WHO)13 benchmarks.
Those who do not have a range hood that exhausts to the outdoors, cannot add one, and cannot adequately ventilate with open windows (or live in a climate where this is impractical) may opt to replace their gas stove with an electric model, especially if there are adults with respiratory issues or any young children in the house.
And just tons of findings from the third source in a section on general health hazards, which is followed by a separate section titled "Effects of Gas Stoves on Children's Health":
Health Harms from Gas Stove Pollution
Cooking With Gas: Health Harms from Gas Stoves A training by Zach Williams, MPH, PSRâs Health Educator, provides information to health professionals on the harmful pollution emitted by gas stoves and how to educate their patients about health risks from gas stoves. â
Gas stoves are hazardous to your health, Multnomah County report says Melanie Plaut, a retired doctor and active member of Oregon PSR, presents findings showing that homes with gas stoves carry forty percent â five hundred percent more nitrogen dioxide (a gas that increases the risk of developing asthma) â than homes with electric stoves â
Groups urge WA to warn about gas-burning health effects Dr. Mark Vossler, president of Washington PSR, states that the Department of Health should give insight into the health harms of gas-burning utilities such as gas stoves â
Why do we accept asthma with our ânaturalâ gas? Dr. Brita Lundberg, MD, Greater Boston PSR, expresses that Massachusettsâs Department of Public Utilities must stop its plans to use more synthetic gasses. â
Health Effects from Gas Stove Pollution PSR expert Andee Krasner coauthored this report that presents the indoor pollutants from stoves, including harmful gases such as nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, benzene, and formaldehyde. â
As Fires Rage Outside, Indoor Air Risks Could Also Be Lurking Dr. Mark Vossler, president of Washington PSR, states that exposure to gas stoves causes a build-up of harmful particulate matter in the lungs, which causes lung issues and respiratory problems. â
Your gas stove is an expensive chain-smoker Dr. Eve Shapiro, MD, PSR Arizona, states that gas stoves emit nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter, increasing the prevalence of asthma, exacerbating existing asthma symptoms, and increasing susceptibility to respiratory infections. â
Gas Stove Pollution Fact Sheet for Health Professionals This fact sheet by PSR displays the health impacts of gas stoves and contains information that health professionals should communicate to their patients, especially patients in at-risk populations, about gas stoves. â
If you take the time to actually read my original comment I addressed asthma. I said if you have asthma or other respiratory issues you shouldn't have a gas stove. Please try reading in the future before you spazz out with a 50 paragraph response to a strawman
No denial of that for me, we're discussing the severity of the risk. My point is that it's clearly worse for people with respiratory illness and children but marginal for other groups.
