Well, that's a bullshit claim.
Well, that's a bullshit claim.
I know plenty of people that think they can cook with their nice gas stoves and don't have a grill or smoker or know what sous vide is.
If I went to one's house and they had neither method available, I could easily say "they don't cook". And it would be a more fair statement than "induction are for people who don't cook".
Not very fair though.
I know people that can cook with just a skillet on any heat source. Ones that only use a grill or smoker. Ones that mostly use an oven. Some that mostly use slow cookers.
Plenty of people worldwide that can cook and don't give a shit about ANY type of oven or stovetop style or technology.
Watch a cooking show sometime. Better yet, ask an actual chef.
Anyway, that article you linked references electric, not induction just FYI
That is a comparison of apples to oranges, and does not apply to induction vs. gas. With that it is the opposite. Yes, induction is even faster than gas, and more precise, while way more convenient because the only thing getting hot is the pot or pan. You even can put a sheet of paper below the pot, it will be brown, but only from the residual heat radiating out of the pot. It won't burn!
Btw. the chefs in cooking shows around here do induction :-)
