Our stove functionally has 2 ( front right and back left ) but back left is inconvenient if we ain’t just putting something on to sit on its own. So we basically only have one in my eyes. So much more work to use it thanks to the oven controlls that I’ll often switch to using front left despite it being too small for the pot/pan.

Front right you fucking small time chump.
Tbf I only say this because my shitty apartment stove only has one large burner and it’s the front right.

Take the small one and save energy (if not frying). It doesnt take much longer and the pot uses the energy more efficiently

It in fact takes 2-3 times longer to get the water boiling in the pot on the smaller one for me. Rather change out the gas container a bit more often. Though I’m planning to just remodel the kitchen to get rid of the gas now and go induction. The gas range is slightly newer, but the furniture is 40 years old so I’d rather go new and integrated.

Correct choice. I duction is just the best.

I know, I want it so bad already. I have a tiny portable induction stove so when I ran out of gas recently I started using that and the oldschool electric “burner” on my gas stove and it’s been fine, I couldn’t handle more than two hobs at the same time, but the induction literally feels faster even than the big burner on the gas, whereas the normal electric one is agonizingly slow to get things hot.
I also have a house built in the 1980s. In the former Soviet Union. Building code wasn’t really a thing for single family homes, so obviously we don’t have a hood. Or even anywhere to connect the hood so it could vent outside. Meaning I’ve been inhaling big beautiful CO2 for all my life from the gas, but also I’m thinking if I get rid of the gas then perhaps I could get by with a ventless hood, otherwise I’ll have to drill a hole in the wall to get a proper vented hood.

Nice, induction

Your math isn’t matching.

If the burner sticks out from under the pot that’s a bunch of heat going not into the pot.

Sure, but what’s that got to do with this discussion, where no one mentioned doing that?
