Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4067319, member: 1414"] We replaced our loud Kitchen Aid with a Bosch induction. It works well, but takes some practice. The oven is excellent if not large. The pans you use make a difference, there are many with disks at the bottom that work, but work differently than a cast iron or magnetic stainless steel pan. It can be tricky to get the right setting for what you're doing. But I believe part of that is because I've been cooking things wrong (fast and hot) and I lack the patience to cook slowly. A nit with our unit (and most glass/ceramic top stoves) the circles are all but invisible. This makes it more aesthetically pleasing, but if you don't have the pan centered on the circle, it doesn't really work. Unlike my normal glass top, these don't glow red, so it is a constant challenge to center the pan. As for the gas article you posted, I don't buy the climate related arguments, we will be using gas for the next 100+ years, and I sure wish I had it in place of the much dirtier diesel I burn to heat my house. Electric isn't feasible for heat in cold climates and the alternatives to gas (oil, wood) are a lot worse. But the internal NO2 emissions thing is interesting. Obviously our forbearers cooked with wood or coal, so gas is way better than that, but still it seems proper venting would be a wise choice for your health. [/QUOTE]
