My wife decided to change from gas to induction a year or so ago because she had trouble getting heat low enough for some of the sauces she likes to make. The improvement was remarkable. I found that bringing a gallon of water to boil (for hummingbird nectar) went from 17-minutes to twelve. Adjusting temperature is nearly instant giving better control of the process. It probably raised our electric bill, but dropped our propane use in half. We would never go back.
