Induction cooktop, your electric bill and AI slop. [View all]

My tablet's browser automatically opens up a new tab when I open or restore the browser. Most stories seem to be AI slop of paywall hidden.

That brings me to the news report (?) Will an induction cooktop increase your electric bill?
Short answer, no, maybe or yes. The article never really says but does talk about the right pots or don't use more water than you need.

No. It won't if you replace traditional metal burners with induction.
Maybe. If you replace an older glass top with induction but probably not. You don't heat the glass to heat the pot. Induction just heats the pot and newer tops know the pot size.
Yes. If you replace a gas cooktop. But your gas bill drops. Added bonus of less indoor pollution from the fire.

We are all electric, no choice in the matter. Induction is far superior to the old metal plate or coil style cooktops. It is superior to the coil glass tops, especially for cleaning because the surface doesn't get as hot and any spills don't get baked onto the surface. The only thing I miss from my gas cooktops is the ability to charr peppers. Now I use the broiler.
