Turns out gas stoves emit benzene in non-trivial amounts… Damnit.

    It makes me sad, because I love gas stoves. For a long time I have been looking forward to getting a massive range that belches out BTUs like nobody’s business. Alas, it looks like that investment will go towards an induction cook top. Not a sexy, but having a little kid at home makes you reevaluate priorities.

      My main gripe with induction is the lack of tactile knobs. I despise capacitive touch controls on my appliances. Let me turn a knob, damnit! (Car makers are guilty of this too! Let me adjust the AC or the radio volume with a knob, instead of looking at a screen to find a software button!)

        I’ve got an LG induction stove with knobs. They’re out there if you look for them.

        They exist. Mine (bought last year) has them. So did my previous one.

        I have this one.

        Honestly kind of wish I’d gotten touch controls sometimes, for easy cleaning.
