Even induction ones can be had for relatively cheap nowadays. They are just the best way to cook imo.

Everyone keeps saying this, but when my stove died last year I tried to convince the landlord to go induction but they are still twice as expensive as the cheap glass top resistive stoves.

I mean they did send me links of what they were looking at and involved me in the selection process. They really weren’t wrong about them being twice as expensive. And the one they went with was really nice except the fact that it wasn’t induction.

But yea I moved out of that place because I was tired of having a landlord lol.

Sure but going from 100 to 200€ is not that much for such a nicer experience. But I guess landlords have their reasons. Regardless of whether induction increases the value of the property

It was the difference of $600USD vs $1,300+USD and the oven in the induction units was crappier at that price range as well.

Never as cheap as a piece of crappy wire though. I agree they're the best, but they cost more. Especially when realistically you already have all the pots/pans you'd need for resistive, but will likely need to buy new ones for inductive.

I mean if you have relativel okay quality pots and pans (not the cheapest stuff) and they are not 30+ years old they should mostly just work. My parents changed to induction over 15 years ago and we only had to switch out a couple pans. Most pf the pots were fine to stay.
