Spending some time at my folks' place and using their glass-ceramic electric cooktop.

Let me tell you folks, once you start to get the brain nugget that gas stoves aren't that great you start to even appreciate bog-standard electric stoves.

It is so nice to be able to stir a simmering pot without the exhaust (!) flying around the pot and searing your hand a little.

And you know what? I even ran into that problem where you can't just turn the burner down because of the thermal inertia. Nearly had a pot boil over.

But upon reflection, I think I would rather get used to that then deal with the indoor air pollution. And, like I said, it is legitimately easier from a heat-on-skin perspective cook with an electric stove. That's kinda cool, actually.

@TechConnectify my asthma definitely improved when we were forced to go electric

that said, induction is vaaaastly superior.

it is hard to cook well on regular electric if you cook at a high level.
