Gas stoves are getting grilled.
that the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission could ban the appliance. The agency’s head has since clarified that the agency has no plans to ban gas stoves, but debate is raging: On social media, consumers fought over the potential risks of the appliance. Natural gas stoves do emit air pollutants at levels the World Health Organization and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have deemed unsafe.
While gas stoves adorn the kitchens of many celebrity chefs and Michelin-starred eateries, induction stoves have perks, particularly for amateur home cooks. They don’t heat up the surrounding area as much as a gas burner, nor do they stay hot the way an electric burner does after being turned off, which reduces the risk of burns.
Germaine Bennerson, a sales consultant at M&M Appliance in Washington, recommends Bosch’s cooktops for their AutoChef feature; the induction stovetops sell from about $1,800 to $3,500. Essentially, the mode allows a chef to select a desired cooking level, and the appliance will flash when the countertop has reached the desired temperature. The burner will then consistently regulate the temperature of the pan.
Notwithstanding their allure as shiny new appliances, induction cooktops have detractors. They cost more than the purely electric option, and they’ve yet to win over many gourmet chefs who still sear steaks over gas flames.
