The functional principle is extremely simple. Once you figure things out, the world around you is really simple. Just made complicated by the people around you.

 

[crandfs]

Yes it's really good, just got to adapt to its characteristics

 

[deathan9el]

am too used to seeing blue flames on my stove

maybe just not now for a switch to induction

Induction cooker is like ev
Gas stove = ice car

 

[Hello_Kitty]

very nice to use

 

[tanahgu]

initially i bought the induction stove for back up when i run out of gas

now i use it for boiling soups in my pressure pot

will not use for any forms of stir fry

 

[HomeMommy]

My mom recently changed hers to induction. She said once u get the hang of it then its gd to use. Best ish easy to clean so its like close to zero maintenance compared to gas hobs. But cons ish can only use those s/s base cookware kind.

I just use the infrared cooker, that one is direct heating..

Something like this and best part dun have to choose specific cookware to use on it. Heck you can literally BBQ over it.

instead of using cheaper gas, induction is just using lots of more expensive electricity to heat things up. but indeed electricity is faster in heating. your money, your choice.

How about fan noise? Is it low or noisy?

 

[wongminmin]

gas still the best.

gas is cheaper than induction. electricity bill might increase in the future also.
gas is also easy to clean.
gas suitable for stir fry

the cons
-check for gas leak
-not suitable for windy kitchen
-slower for boiling/steaming

reference
Cost of using gas stove 10 years = $900 + $260~$480 (stove/hob+maintenance)
Cost of using induction 10 years = $1425.6 + $120 (3 x induction cooker)

Gas cookware not easy to clean if you cook for long time say 2 - 3 hrs. Because LNG gas is never clean in the first place. After a long time of cooking you'll find the pot/pan turn brownish

Induction cooker don't have this issue because no gas involved

[Apparatus]

Fan or electrical noise? No good leh

easy to clean... i referring to the gas hob.

i never encounter brownish....
then i more concern inside than outside. lol

fyi, the non stick coating degrade faster when use on induction cooker.

 

[Chalkycliffs]

If your cooking area has poor ventilation, using a gas hob is not recommended as the fumes from the combusted gas can be detrimental to your health.

ok ba, u will get use to it.

when pot removed, that is the fan noise.

 

[jtsh55]

Induction cooker boils water very fast as compared to the traditional flame and it's much easier to clean + maintain too.

I had been using induction cooker for more than 15+ years and never look back ever since.

 

[arcturuz]

induction is good, cleaner and safer

i don't see a difference in the food taste cooked between stove and induction

all these talk about simi 'wok hey' missing form induction is rubbish, you also can't get 'wok hey' from that small fire stove
