    When I got an induction range, my nice All-Clad brand pots didn’t work because they were mostly aluminum. That’s not a cheap brand either.

      That sucks but I just got an induction and it is by far the best stove I’ve ever had. I can’t believe people like gas to it’s such garbage

        Even a crappy Gas range is infinitely better than the shitty electric coil ranges. And that’s what 99.9% of people have to compare. Most people have never used an induction range before.

          Yeah, my partner’s mother has a professional grade gas range/ovens in her home kitchen, so he was wanting gas until I introduced him to induction. Now he’s turned into an induction evangelist, haha.

          I found out about induction because I got a soup pot back in the early 2000s that was marked on the bottom as induction capable, so I looked up wtf that meant, and wanted one ever since. My induction range came with a convection oven, which I’ve also wanted for forever, and that has an air fryer mode.

          I only give it an 8/10 tho because it has touch buttons instead of knobs, so it doesn’t always recognize my finger, but a drip of sauce will sometimes trigger it. Next time I’ll find one with knobs.

            Mine also has the convection oven with air fryer mode but I don’t think it works all that great. That or air fryers aren’t that great. I dunno, it’s my only experience with air fryers

              Oh, dang. This is also my only experience with air fryers, but mine works great. Never had crispier potatoes come out of my oven before.
