    Is that that common in the US? In Europe, you have to dig deeply in some shady discount shops to find aluminium pots.

      When I got an induction range, my nice All-Clad brand pots didn’t work because they were mostly aluminum. That’s not a cheap brand either.

        That sucks but I just got an induction and it is by far the best stove I’ve ever had. I can’t believe people like gas to it’s such garbage

          Even a crappy Gas range is infinitely better than the shitty electric coil ranges. And that’s what 99.9% of people have to compare. Most people have never used an induction range before.

            Yeah, my partner’s mother has a professional grade gas range/ovens in her home kitchen, so he was wanting gas until I introduced him to induction. Now he’s turned into an induction evangelist, haha.

            I found out about induction because I got a soup pot back in the early 2000s that was marked on the bottom as induction capable, so I looked up wtf that meant, and wanted one ever since. My induction range came with a convection oven, which I’ve also wanted for forever, and that has an air fryer mode.

            I only give it an 8/10 tho because it has touch buttons instead of knobs, so it doesn’t always recognize my finger, but a drip of sauce will sometimes trigger it. Next time I’ll find one with knobs.

              Mine also has the convection oven with air fryer mode but I don’t think it works all that great. That or air fryers aren’t that great. I dunno, it’s my only experience with air fryers

                Oh, dang. This is also my only experience with air fryers, but mine works great. Never had crispier potatoes come out of my oven before.

            I would still rather have a shitty coil one than use gas. Maybe if we had some regulations that required proper ventilation with gas stoves I’d feel better but that only seems to be the case in smart states like California
