Well said.
I think going by at least standard sydney rates gas works out cheaper but don't quote me on that.
I have had an electric induction cooker in my kitchen for 10 years and it still looks as good as the day it was installed.
I have had the kitchen completely refurbished: new units, sink, new Bosch appliances throughout, even new floor and I kept my induction hob.
It is that good.
It is not quite as good as gas for cooking, but unless you are a gourmet chef it makes no difference. Also it is much, much cleaner.
Pans remain clean also, with none of that burning and discolouration up the sides.
I have solar, so apart from the evening ,meal cost is not a factor.Induction is more efficient and gives you an exact power. It will also automatically turn off if left on accidentally. It's a dream to clean.
As solar power becomes more popular and more people decide to ditch gas, induction will be the norm.
Gas stoves are objectively better for cooking.
Induction stove tops are safer for children and easier to clean.
