Gas vs Induction? #shorts

[adifferentkennybaker]

Finally. Andy made something that I could cook.

All I can hear is my mother saying put the lid on, so it will boil faster😂

[lutzspringborn]

Bros gas stove has the smallest flame 😂😂😂

[SadBoy_]

Your gas stove has the smallest fire i've ever seen ngl

Gas cook tops tend to last longer as there are no electronics. They can also be used in a power cut.

Induction is also more comfortable to cook with as it doesn’t make the kitchen so hot.

[sim-one]

I agree but that pot was way too small for that burner. Most heat was next to the pot, not under it.
But you can’t flambé something with induction…

[palkarsai]

Again a useful insight shared. Thank you Andy!

Uncle roger: haiyaa why fire is low? Why so weak? Why so weak?🤣

I’ve had an induction stove for more than 15 years and I love it. As you said, making sure the pan is really flat on the bottom and making sure it fits the size of the burner is really important. Once you do that, everything else is easy.

That's a pretty small flame on the gas one. Restaurant I worked in used gas and things got VERY hot VERY quickly, however my induction stove at home takes seemingly forever to get even close to the same temperature

A lot of people confuse the electric stoves you find in many rental apartments with induction stoves. I use to think gas was the best, until I used an induction stove. Would never go back to gas now.

I’ve also seen videos saying that carbon steel pans shouldn’t be used on induction cooktops. It seems that they can cause warping since the area on the pan above the coil heats up so quickly, but not as fast around it. Then the thermal expansion is uneven which bows the bottom upwards and turns the pan in to a “spinner”.

That aside, I might be the only one who’d want this: but I’d love to know which pots and pans you have and why you like them!

Never had induction (maybe one day).

Only reason I prefer gas top is when the power goes out, you can still cook a feed.

- You shouldn't use this kind of pan if you want a quick boil on gas. Aluminium pans work best on gas.

- An induction hob has many more increments of heat settings than gas and for most home cooks, a setting of 1 or 2 (out of 14) is good enough for their butter sauces.

Ideally, get both, but have 2 sets of pan.
If you have to choose, get gas, as there is nothing you can do on induction that you cannot do on gas.

We switched to induction and never looked back: its cheaper, more effective, dont have to worry about running out of gas, no hazard as well as there’s no fire.

For those people concerned about electricity or lifting the pan, in occasional cases like this we use portable butane & stove

[melvin]

Okay. So you are using something called italian burnes for the gas which means most of the flame will be projected on the edges of the burners(In this case a lot of flame are wasted because the vessel is small). But if you use direct flame burners on gas then you'll have better results. BTW great comparison.

[ruthbentley]

Important to note that you shouldn’t use induction if you have a cardiac pacemaker.

[chrismgentry]

I'd love a long form version of this to hear from Andy the pros and cons of various cooking tasks comparing Gas and Induction.

[oldenshort]

Try using a gas stove that is suited to the Pot size.
Put the pot on a larger ring on the induction and get back to us.

[readwellwritewell]

Used these fancy induction externals for a physics class once, it was wild. I prefer the regular electric hob though, exactly for that whole "needs to be flat" reason - move the pans around A LOT.
