An Australian home cook’s Reddit post saying a basic gas stove beat an induction setup costing about $2,000 drew pushback. Commenters praised induction’s temperature control and easy cleanup, while some said the poster may have used unsuitable cookware.
One Reddit commenter cited a Harvard School of Public Health study as saying there is “no safe amount of exposure” to gas-stove pollution; another said induction would mean better lung health for their family.
The article notes that switching can involve electrical work beyond the appliance price, and that electricity rates, installation costs and possible gas-service savings affect the total. It presents a portable induction burner as a way to try the method before committing to a full remodel.
