Eco-friendly chefs know that induction cooktops are the way to go because of their high efficiency and low energy waste. 

However, some cooking enthusiasts are still debating what stoves they prefer based on past experience and new product innovations. 

In a viral Reddit post to r/Cooking, one person asked: "Gas vs. induction stove? What do you prefer?" to encourage an open discussion. 

Though everyone who enjoys cooking has their own opinion on the matter, induction stoves are rapidly becoming more popular and more affordable than ever before.

Induction stovetops are high-performing and can boil water up to 50% faster than traditional stoves. They save time in the kitchen and are easy to clean. With induction, you can enjoy greater temperature control and even heat distribution without compromising interior air quality. 

Many people have taken advantage of tax incentives and rebates by upgrading their stoves from gas to induction. The government has previously offered these benefits to promote sustainability since they deliver around 90% of their energy to your food to reduce waste and not release pollutants into the air.
