Huh? Electric - induction - there is a reason why many progressive restaurants are shifting to induction. Gas was already there, so it's cheap, but - it's hot, dirty, live flame, needs massive exhaust systems, etc. New restaurants are beginning to install induction - it's at least as fast and hot as gas, at least as controllable as gas, it doesn't burn the cook, and so on.

Give me good electric - i.e. powerful induction - every time.

Definitely gas stove. Electric makes the certain food stick in the pan. Elec also doesn't cool off fast. Don't like induction either.

I like Natural Gas the best for cooking. Ideal arrangement: Quality Gas Range / Oven against the wall with wall mounted pot filling faucet and Hood for most of the cooking. And, an electric range on the adjacent island to keep things warm and ready.

I grew up with electric--more popular in FL since gas isn't used as much. Ive lived up north for many years now and prefer gas to electric-the heat can be instantly turned off. We are renovating a newly purchased home and I like the idea of induction....seems more instantaneous to heat and perhaps more controllable than gas, even though I'll need to purchase new stainless cookware. And safer for my children who are just starting to cook more and my hubby who has already caught several of my potholders on fire! But I was really looking forward to an indoor grill and griddle. Do those come in induction too?

Gas! I've had both and everything I baked in an electric oven didn't come out as good. It's not the same as gas.

It depends on what type of cook you are. I have had both gas and electric, but I prefer gas. If you often need to use all the burners and want to be able to turn heat off immediately, gas is the way to go. If you tend to simmer things more, electric might work fine.

Gas, it allows for immediate temperature control / change. All restaurants and professional chef kitchens use gas for that very reason.

I want a gas stove so bad!!! We don't have natural gas in town. I know I could have used propane, but .... I wanted an antique stove & not all are alike. You need a certain adapter kit to go from gas to propane. It was so frustrating because I couldn't be sure it would work, unless I bought the stove & did the swap, but then if it did NOT work, then I'd be stuck with a gas stove in a town where I couldn't sell it.

(insert my sad face here!)

Here's what I wanted real bad!

For those of you that have induction, what are the pros and cons?

I had induction. My idea of an even cooking temp isn't onoffonoffonoffonoff.

Drove me crazy. I will admit...I miss the self cleaning oven, but even that wasn't enough to make me keep it. Bought a 1947 beast!

Gas or induction. For cooking control and power, gas and induction are the best you can get.

Chookchook … couldn't you buy a natural-gas-to-propane adaptor or two and carry them around while antique-stove-shopping? Don't know how much they cost, but surely less than buying a stove.

For Susan,for me there are no cons with induction cooktop. You may need to buy new cookware ,as it works magnetically. It heats very quickly and evenly. It is easy to keep clean as any spilled food doesn't burn since the cooktop doesn't heat up. I love mine.

I have both. Gas for the stove top and electric convection oven for the oven. It's the best of both worlds, in my opinion

Thank you, helixg1. I am familiar with the way it works, as far as needing special cookware. The feature of induction that I find fascinating, is that you can have water boiling in 90 seconds. Does it cook just as good as gas? My gas oven has sealed burners, so the clean up isn't that big of a deal. Can the cooktop be easily scratched? I do like the way it looks.

I like electric for safety with kids, but not the bills. Hubby likes gas as he's a trained cook. He likes the instant changes he can make with temperature. To cool something, I just move it off that burner, Lol.

Susan,sorry but I can't compare induction to gas as I have not used it. I have read comments from people who have used both saying they prefer induction. I haven't had any problem with scratches. The heat is very well controlled.you could alway get a portable induction burner to try it out.

Electric. I'm in my 40's, cooked all my life on both, and this is why I like electric. You can bring your food to a boil, let's say rice, en turn the buner off completely because the residual Heat from the electric flat top (or coils) continues to cook the food to perfection. A good chef can cook on anything. Gas to me seems weak. If there were a fan aimed on u while cooking, the gas flames get blown away from the cookware, so the heat is dissipated. And it gets too hot in the kitchen. Also, if your fortunate enough to live off the grid, and have solar power, u are cooking for free!

People's views seem very polarised on this question. We're enjoying hearing everyone's thoughts and cooking methods. @TheRTAStore should have run a poll!

Within our business, anecdotally it's split 50/50 between gas and induction/electric.

Gas, hands down. That's what restaurants use the most. There's a reason for that.

oh god, gas all the way, please. i have a hard time telling how hot the burner is on electric stoves, especially the glass top ones. the color of the burner doesn't help me.

induction. as adjustable as gas, far easier to clean. and, very energy efficient.
yes, i sacrificed my 25 year old cookware, but i will never go back... to gas. or standard electric.
and, i used to own a restaurant.... the heat from a restaurant gas range is awful. induction heats the pan or pot... not the whole kitchen.

This needs to be updated to a poll. For Oliviag, I can see why induction would be so appealing. Working in a restaurant with gas flames can take its toll but for the rest us home cooks, nothing is more appealing than gas.

It really is all preference. The best option is what the person enjoys. Radiant electric stove tops will probably eventually stop selling when all cook ware is made induction. But for now there are three main options and each option is for different people. Induction seems to be most popular. But I'm not going with it because not all cookware sold works with it. Using a magnet disgusts me. I am a minimalist. I prefer things simple. And the fire on the gas stove terrifies me. So radiant electric is the option for me. If you use standard american cookware, then the induction works. I need to use unique cookware, and I'd rather not be controlled on what I can cook with. And again using a magnet irritates me.

Gas. I had electric in one house and it was awful (even though the stove was new). My sister had induction and swears by it. Changed all her cookware and never looked back. This is worthy of a poll but probably will be
