I would literally buy propane camping stove and a big bottle of propane rather than use an electrical stove.

Resistive electric? I’m with you, I truly would just go for my own propane supply before going back to that crap. But you can get propane conversion kits for natural gas ranges, no need to get the camping stove.

I haven’t had a chance to try electric induction yet. I don’t know anyone who has one.

Why is that?

Latency on adjustments primarily.

If you're cooking a roux for example or sauteing garlic, 30 second latency is enough to ruin them.

Also, I have a feeling that the heat is distributed more evenly but no concrete evidence on that.
