Mon Apr 13 21:52:54 UTC 2020

The oven is standard. I don't know about price comparison.

Hi Kay and List,

How do induction cook tops compare, in price to a regular electric range?
Does the oven function like a standard electric oven?

I love my induction.

I have been using a gas stove since I was six and my mom taught me to light
the Pilot light for the oven.  I guess, different strokes for different
folks.  It just depends on what you are comfortable with.  I much prefer the

gas because it is much easier to adjust and have the results happen
instantly rather than having to wait for things to cool down.  Although, I
am really looking at the induction cook top as another option.  Not just the

ceramic smooth top stove with burners built in to it, but this is a method
that works with magnetic pots and pans.  It is really responsive like
working with a gas stove but only gets hot where the pan is.  We have been
using the PIC which stands for, precision induction cook top.  They are
great and if you are afraid of using a gas stove, this is every bit as
responsive.  Gas is great, but so is this method.

I can tell you from personal experience that thousands and thousands of
tenants in New York City, including many who are blind, still have
old-fashioned gas ovens that require lighting the gas pilot inside the
oven cavity with a match. How can this be, you might wonder. By law,
landlords are only required to furnish a stove that works. They are not
required to furnish a stove that is also safe for a blind tenant. Most
pre-war buildings do not have wiring that is adequate enough to handle
the heavy loads imposed by dozens or hundreds of electric stoves, and
so most pre-war apartment buildings have gas stoves. . I had to fight
with my landlord for years to get him to replace my 1950's-era gas stove
that was an accident waiting to happen with a more modern, safer model
with electronic ignition. I explained to his lackey, the building
manager, that if I ever suffered any harm because I was injured trying
to light the pilot with a match, I would sue the landlord's ass off. He
finally got the message, and I have had no problems using the gas stove
with electronic ignition that the super installed a few years ago to
replace the clunker that had been sitting in my kitchen since the Truman
administration.
