yeah they’re great for stews and stuff that you can just do all in one pot.

brown some meat on the stove, add some tomatoes and maybe some veggies for a stew or pasta for a casserole, and then if you want a casserole you throw it in the oven for half an hr.

really good for weeknights because you have a big pot of leftovers, just wash a cutting board and knife and cleanup is done.

seattle is banning gas ranges in new construction because of cLiMaTe ChAnGe and it's so stupid.

I have a thing for courageous dongles

its not the emissions from the stove is the leaking you get from the distribution infrastructure. you're better off abandoning or not building residential gas service at this point if the climate lets you use a heat pump instead and seattle deffo is. sorry, get an induction. next best thing.

you have to get energy into the house somehow. if it's not flammable gas then it's lethal alternating current. and if there's a continuous pipe of energy there's probably some way that you can make it fail and release a whole lot of that energy in a very short time

it's great, gas stoves are antiquated and unnecessary and there's no need to put them into new construction. induction cooktops have basically all the upsides of gas with functionally no downsides. plus they're way easier to clean. they will also heat up dishes faster than gas.

true, but when an electricity pipe fails usually a safety device makes all the electricity vanish in an instant, instead of getting pumped into the air until someone notices

ive heard of weird curved induction surfaces but never seen one. normal induction is terrible if you want to use a wok

i don't believe this. "most" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. obviously any cast iron pan will work, and they're very popular. and if it came down to it you can slap a disc on top and use it like a very responsive electric capable unit.


fart simpson posted:

well, it is. though not a good enough reason to use metal on them imo.


fart simpson posted:

they definitely exist, though the majority of wok functions you can replace with a large skillet especially if you get one with sloped sides. and this is straight from the mouth of someone who the washington post calls the wok queen. it's not a good enough reason to not have induction imo. if you are privileged enough to have an outside area, there are also other methods that would allow for wok cooking sometimes.

grace young (the woman mentioned above) also recommends a flat-bottomed carbon steel wok for home cooks as the vast majority of home stoves, even gas, do not adequately heat a wok anyway.

most of SE asia just runs off LP gas cylinders. I used to have this thermonuclear propane burner that was just amazing for wok cooking, poo poo would vaporize veg oil in an instant, but you had to cook in the backyard which obvy not everyone has and even when you do its weird cause none of your stuff is there.

the induction ranges ive seen in friends places have all been glass. so i assume you cant pick up the pan, toss stuff, and casually drop it back down and you need to be pretty careful. are there other types where i can slam a giant metal pan down with moderate force without risking damage?

if you can afford a "powerful" gas range, you can probably afford to add a wok burner to the new construction under discussion here. and if you can't afford one, you should buy a flat-bottomed wok anyway.

yea i use one outside, too, but as mentioned that's a place of privilege ofc

they're glass-ceramic. you shouldn't be slamming your pan down regardless, but i set down pretty heavy pans pretty hard pretty often and it's never been a problem.

"over medium" is how my mom liked eggs.

specifically, "over medium, but...hang on...not runny, okay? not any runnyness at all. but also not hard cooked. right in the middle when it's like soft jello. but NOT runny and not over-hard where the yolk gets crumbly. okay? and if the chef can't do it that way then just scrambled" while all the rest of us would try to get her to shut up and cover our heads with the menus in shame
