  I’m from the burner supremacy gang

  But why? I fucking hate burners. They are slow, send more heat into the room than the food, pain in the ass to clean and also release possible carcinogens into your air. The only advantage they have over induction is that they cannot crack. I seriously don’t get what people see in them.

    Wok cooking is the only thing I miss from having a gas stove

        Tortillas on an open flame is what I miss the most. Especially when there made from scratch.

      A typical induction stove can heat way faster/hotter than a typical gas stove.

      So unless you specifically had an industrial gas stove specifically for your wok, chances are you can do the same recipes, just in a flat pan.

      There are even induction stoves with a bowl that fit a round wok, but that’s pretty niche.

      And every pan or pot or whatever that isn’t 100% space-flat.

    Fuck, I’ll take resistive over gas. It takes some skill, but I’m used to it. I’ve only used gas in other people’s homes and I just didn’t like it nearly as much.

    I will go induction whenever I have a choice though, it just by all measures sounds better

      I sadly have gas in my current apartment and I despise it. I would just dislike it if it was not so goddamn inpossible to clean.

    they’re great for caramellizing whole onions, but you could also buy a blowtorch

      Like without a pan? Straight into the fire?
