I will only use induction... we had a gas leak when I was a kid, my sister and I almost died (we weren't breathing when our mom ran in). I do have a Ranch fire pit (open fire cooking), and a grill...
When I was growing up my home had an electric cooker, but about a year ago someone (read: my father) broke the glass and they had to get a new cooker, and they decided to spring for an induction cooker. It's certainly an adjustment - my parents had to replace a few pots and pans, most notably my mother's prized Big Pot used for making jam had to be replaced with what turned out to be an even bigger one. Her experiences with the induction cooker are best described with one change she made to her cooking - she used to boil water in the (electric) kettle before putting it in the pot ro cook rice or pasta, to save time. Now, it's actually quicker for the induction cooker to heat the water in the pot than to wait for the kettle.
@@marshallvannice I don't actually know if she used water from the kettle for rice, we never ate much. I do know she did it for pasta because I saw her do it.
Was introduced to induction cooking when I lived in Japan in 2009. Before that, had been a gas-only cook. Life in Japan changed that very fast! Thank you for posting this, Chef!
Just to be clear, we're talking about CO2 emissions; The only byproducts you get from burning methane are CO2 and water. 60% of your electricity comes from burning fossil fuels, not all of them being as clean as natural gas
How do you think electricity is generated? Mostly by burning fossil fuels in powerplants and transmitting it across several miles..factor in transmission loss..it's far greener to use lpg
I was in an Airbnb in Greece earlier this year where I had to use an induction cooker for all our food the entire time. I thought it was this rinky-dink thing compared to a traditional flame stove top, but I was so surprised how fast it got hot and cooked the food and how easy it was to clean and put away. When I finish school and can afford my own home, I’m definitely investing in some of these.
As someone who has lived in Greece their entire life induction is the standard here. Stove tops are so foreign to us, we only see them in American movies. If you want you can replace your stove top with four individual inductions of different sizes. Makes cooking easier and safer.
I love an induction hob, super easy to clean and get absolutely sparkling. My parents always go for a gas job though because when they were young and also when I was growing up money was tight and they sometimes wouldn’t have money for electricity so it would go off until they could top it up (we had this key thing that you would put money on at the local corner shop and stick into your box so it wasn’t like a monthly bill, more like a pay as you go, my uk council scheme kids will remember this) so they always had a gas hob so they could still cook and it wasn’t until I was older that I actually found out that the power cuts were because we had no money. We were chatting and I was talking about how I used to love power cuts because we would play hide and seek in the dark and then put a bit of bread onto a fork and make toast on the gas hob and it was so much fun. They basically made a bad situation into a great memory for me and my brother so to this day the still get a gas hob
@@DMX2050 do you get triggered by any comment without any context and assume these odd scenarios often? 😂 that’s the real thing that’s unreal. Fragile caveman brain
I've been cooking on induction for over 10 years now. My electric stove is turned off in the master box. It is so easy to cook by temperature instead of "guessing" the height of the flame. I love how easy they are to clean, how cool my kitchen is all summer long - all year long actually - & how low my energy bills are. Look into it. Would love to be of the grid.
Lol guessing the height lmao I love cooking on gas haven't done it much in long time since i was a kid but I cook a lot better on flame than electric it Def makes your food better imo
Agree with most points made about the use of an induction stove, particularly about safety and cleaning. Problem I have was using the blanket term 'fossil fuels' when talking about gas heating and their supposed impact on the environment. Most gas lines for heating in houses, from personal experience, are natural gasses usually methane. While they are not the cleanest sources of energy they are more efficient than green alternatives and are relatively clean in comparison to other 'fossil fuels'. Unless your electricity is provided from a cleaner alternative source you're unlikely making a positive environmental impact just from using an induction stove. Natural gas is generally cheaper to use. Nothing against their opinion though, I just think the environmental message is a bit overstated and doesn't present the merits of natural gas energy. Which is an efficient and relatively clean source of energy when compared to other forms.
Well said. I hate it when people try to virtue signal and shame others for not doing what they’re doing yet have no knowledge of what they’re really talking about. Stick to cooking.
In Denmark gas stoves is still a thing and lots of people have them. Especially in in the older parts of cities where gaspipes has been installed ages ago.
@@Sanchez792 Wait since when do induction stoves waste energy? I'm pretty sure you, and a few others in this comment section, are confusing induction with a standard electrical stove. As for the fire comment... I was a scout for nearly 12 years, and I'm really wondering what's so manly about it.
I feel the same exact way. My dad and family ask how can I cook on this.. I tell them it’s easy clean up, no gas killing me and it’s good for the environment.
My biggest issue with induction is that it's LOUD. Not everyone can hear it, but I'm very sensitive to high pitched hums that come from induction cook-tops and old CRTs. I absolutely can't stand being near them, which sucks.
Induction cooktops will work with any pan to which a refrigerator magnet will cling too. The harder the cling, the easier the transfer of energy into the pan.
We used induction burners at a very small bakery I used to work. They were so convenient. You can move them to whatever you counter you need to or get them out of the way completely when you need more space.
I was searching on tips how to wok with an induction stove and then I found this channel, looked through it and immediately subbed!

@@kennethwilliams8240 Denis is so pathetic. Not only he is unsatisfied with just the fact he cooks crappy food thanks to the induction stove, but he also wants him to EAT bug food by being a vegan.
I never used an induction stove until my first apartment that I just moved into, and I actually like it for pretty much the same reasons you listed. I was so adamant about hating them that I dreaded using them for the first few days but now I actually quite like them!
You only need to make sure the pan, pots, etc, are magnetic for it to work on an induction (as mentionned it's because of a magnetic field that it heats up)
I love love LOVE my induction cooktop!! I requested it when the oven handle on a standard stove blocked a cupboard and drawer in my new small house, and so the builder put in a cupboard and cut a strip of butcherblock to set it in, and I got an air fryer for baking! Efficient, easy to clean and use! 🎉❤
I want to point out that this is great but if your city uses fossil fuels to power your home then it’s technically still using fossil fuels and contributing to GHG emissions. I’m not knocking him using induction or his video. I love induction because it’s ease of use and how easy they are to clean. They are also much safer. I’m just saying it might be worth seeing how your city decides to power itself and if it’s 100% fossil fuels it might be worth writing them expressing your interest in them using more eco friendly forms of energy production, because why do all that work to reduce your carbon footprint when your local municipality negates all that effort.
@@bwane5961 actually in a power plant the gas has more energy extracted from it than if you use a gas stove so it would still be more environmentally friendly as you would be using less of it and thus contributing to fewer emissions
While the current electrical grid isn't entirely green, as time goes on it will get more sustainable, and most areas in America have some renewable sources, which is better than the alternative of a gas stove which is entirely nonrenewable.
While i appreciate the concern for the climate, i must say that the pollution from the use of fossil fuels is mainly from electricity production and industrial transportation. Switching to induction is not a problem though, just wanted to point out the inaccuracy.
Micro managing can go a long way. Though why induction stoves are a lot less harmful to the environment is because they transfer 90% of energy as heat to the pan while a gas stove only transfers 35% of energy as heat to the pan.
@@johanedfors3899 it really doesn’t tho, all the unregulated factories and shit overseas is what’s killing our globe, cars an trucks an using a gas stove is not what’s going to make this difference, people need to become more self sustainable and waste less not do piddly bullshit like this that promotes waste, you already have a stove in your house your buying extra things you don’t need to pay yourself on the back and make yourself feel better an then you can throw it in the dump in 2 years when it breaks
@@Turtleman95 well, I agree. All this "you all need to start thinking more green" kind of feels like bussines putting blame on consumers, when they are the ones incentivicing consuming as much as possible, as thats the most profitable strategy. However, getting an induction stove is harmless and will create less waste over time due to the saving of energy. Its also a lot more convinient than a gas stove. Literally no reason to hate on this.
@@erichale7896 you're delusional. Volcanoes have existed for 4 billion years and never have they caused as much of an issue as humans have (except for some extremely big volcanoes erupting like yellowstone). Humans emit 60 times the amount of CO2.
I live alone and love to cook but I'm afraid of fire and gas burners because those were the reasons why one of our childhood neighbor lost their home. So thank you to whoever invented induction, saved me so much stress 🤗
I’ve never had a glass top stove but screw those coil burners. I’m not familiar with these at all but I just like how precise you can be with setting your heat to exactly where you want it with gas.
This is fair and I use induction at my house but natural gas that you use in your home is a very clean form of energy whereas if you are using electricity you most likely get your energy from coal if you live in the US
He’s just quoting what the news told him, these people don’t understand that things trickle down same shit with electric vehicles, look at all the things required to mine stuff for the batteries and the fact they don’t last as long we’ll end up with more pollution
@@Nursemidratz What would you suggest as an alternative way to shift the focus towards long term ecological responsibilities? Any meaningful change will take a long time and his embracing newer technology and willingness to change for the better is admirable, even if misguided. It’s a pivot towards a better direction.
@@bigwheel9132 I would question how misguided it even is. An awful lot of counterpoints to environmentalism are half truths thrusted upon masses of layfolk. Mind you, a lot of environmental rhetoric is the same. We need to compare the two as fairly as we can, which often feels like comparing apples and oranges. How do the emissions from gas stoves compare to the coal used to power induction stoves? How much of that power is truly coal derived, and how much will be in the future? If/when cleaner power sources become available, will chefs be willing to retrain for induction, or will they cling to familiar gas appliances? What will happen to gas supplies if supplanted by new power sources? I'm sure theres tons of healthy discussion to be had on topics like this, but i sadly never see it happen without being shouted down by vested interests.
@@Turtleman95 the production emissions of electric cars is only some 20% worse than traditional cars, which gets recouped within a few years of driving anyways. The longevity of either isn't all too different either. As technologies develop, electric will likely pull ahead in both regards. Personally, i cant see a transportation future without some type of gas, be it petroleum or biofuel. I have no illusions that electric power will rise in efficacy, efficiency, and even desirability, but i doubt it will be the catch all solution that many purport it to be.
I swore by gas stove after having a terrible experience with induction in airbnbs I stayed. But I now moved into a house where iy uses induction, and I think it's a decent quality one and I must say my opinion on induction changed, i love it to bits. It's easier to clean, faster to heat pans, taste didn't really change from gas, space saver if you have a small space as I can use the stovetop sorta like a bench when I'm not cooking.
@@lukalazovic7459 Dont listen to the naysayers, flame cooking being an inherently imperfect heat source causes hot-spots in the pan (even a good quality pan cannot avoid this). This means that you will naturally get some randomness in the way your food is cooked. Unlike induction which is much more even. Basically, micro portions of your food are being "burnt" when you cook with flame, and despite what you might think "burnt" is actually a good flavor to have in smal portions like this. So there is a difference.
Induction cook tips use a lot of electricity and that's usually made with dirty fuel so I'd say if you're using gas or induction th footprint is probably the same if not worse for induction pending on what produces your electricity in your local area, most likely coal
Exactly. It’s unfortunate that a lot of people are led to believe that some products are better than others because it doesn’t produce nasty pollution even though it still does just not in your home
Going electric for everything is not more environmentally friendly. Ironically people continue to support the corporations that are actually destroying the environment by purchasing stuff like this.
The materials used in the manufacture of appliances like induction burners often need to be strip mined. Also the electricity has to come from somewhere. If it comes from wind or solar, those technologies use as much of not more fossil fuels in their transport and manufacture than the power they generate.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, most of the nation's electricity was generated by natural gas, coal, and nuclear energy in 2019. Electricity is also produced from renewable sources such as hydropower, biomass, wind, geothermal, and solar power
@ChuBbs huh what’s the bs he’s just stating what energy sources are used in the us, and it’s true that natural gas, coal, and nuclear energy are the biggest sources
I love induction, sometimes it’s hard to comprehend how fast it heats up (if you’ve never used one) it literally like boils water in a few minutes whereas a normal stove I be waitin there for like 10, also all the other stuff too
Living in the US. Had gas for years then 10 years ago bought an induction range. I'm hooked. Nothing better. Will be buying an induction wok soon as well as an induction rice cooker. Exciting times.
Bro you‘re Not doing anyone a favor using induction instead of gas 😂. Where do you think your electricity is coming from? If it‘s not from your solar roof it‘s most likely coming from a coal-plant or a gasturbine.
.... We've had induction burners for like 20 years now. Before that we had electric ovens based on coils. They're generally really good and easy to use.
The electric grid, for the most part, runs off of fossil fuels. Going more than 50% renewable is asking for trouble. The rule of thumb is to engineer for the worst days, those emergency situations. You cant do that with all renewable energy sources today.
There are newer ways to store access energy from renewables for rainy and nuclear is still a thing. We need to integrate all green tech if we wish to keep climate change on check
@@TheDarkPacific you cant keep the sun and wind on check without severely altering the climate ourselves. Which in my opinion would just go against the purpose. Nuclear is interesting and is getting cleaner every year. Still nuclear has its own inherent risks and those are freaking wild.
@@alilruthlessify Its not about trying yo keep either on check. What i mean, is that there is no one solution for solving our climate and energy crisis. Norway is near 100% relying on renewables, because it use all them. From hydro to thermo to wind and sun. The U.S has states where solar is a no brainer. Other states wind makes more sense. We need to use all the tools on hand to keep the world from going to shit
Literally about to say that. We talk about that in my job with customers. Its are you wanting to burn energy on your end or the electric company's end.
@@ChadieRahimian I guess that depends on where you live. Most places i have seen, you only get 1 because it is a monopoly that is held by gov standards so they don't over charge. The reason there is only one is so you don't have wires from all the different providers, makes no sense to have multiple providers in terms of the power grid.
Most places in the states use renewable energy during most hours of the day because it’s simply cheaper now. Look up your local utility’s energy portfolios. If you live in California for example, you usually have several options including IOUs and the generally more clean CCAs. Even if it isn’t using renewables, gas burned at a power plant is generally much more efficient than gas burned on your stovetop grill.
This is definitely a great alternative to cooking over a natural gas fire. It may be tricky to get the technique down at first but after you do it will become second nature. As an EE I can say that it is not cooking that is consuming the most natural gas, yet it is our production of our electricity.
That's a lot of effort for a problem that is only 20% of a much bigger problem. People never question how they get electricity to their house. Truth is that the US electrical grid is pretty outdated. So unless your source is 0 emissions then technically you're still contributing to the problem
Yeah. It’s good to conserve where we can as long as it’s reasonable. China is the world’s largest polluter, two times more than the US. Then India. Scientists are on the verge of solving the nuclear fusion heat loss issue with stellarartors, the Wendelstein 7-X. Near limitless energy without nuclear waste. That would drastically reduce emissions across the world and make space travel much more practical.
And people who keep beating the renewable energy drum also don't understand that coal and natural gas is far more reliable. Solar and wind are nice but the wind isn't always blowing and the sun isn't shining. So how are you supposed to create energy all the time from something that happens at most half the day?
@@HH-le1vi yes and they never seem to consider the huge “carbon footprint” expense of mining and processing the minerals that make all those batteries and plastics and metals that house those batteries. And they seem to never consider what to do with those batteries, solar panels, and wind turbines when they stop working.
@@HH-le1vi this narrative is what they want you to believe. Going all renewable energy isn’t a silver bullet. Like OP said our energy grid is outdated which makes it extremely energy inefficient. On top of that having a solar panel on your roof won’t make the difference. Corporations not producing energy through all fossil fuels is how you do it. Have you never heard of a carbon neutral company? Apple is currently trying to be carbon neutral by 2025. Also too combat your point on solar and wind not going to matter is also false because places like California and Hawaii have already committed to being ran off of 100% renewable energy by 2050. Do some research before spewing garbage
Those portable ones are a great addition. However, induction doesn’t heat copper as it’s not ferromagnetic so if you have lovely copper wear saucepans you can’t use them.
I don't know one chef that likes induction, the induction provides less control due to the area above which holds heat, there's no way to drop temp quick without leaving heat
Also from a technician's stand point, I rarely work on induction cooktops. So they're built better to begin with, I've seen gas and regular electric cooktops go bad within the first year of regular use. And the only times I've worked on induction were when the electronic boards were shorted or surged with power.
Bro.....what? Natural gas ranges last 15 years. Inductions last about 8 years..... wtf are you smoking. Electronics in my lovely big phased array radar tech experience break....OFTEN. always broke. Always fixing. Gas? Nothing in lige is forever but certainly waaaaay more than a year
We got one recently. I do most of the cooking and it was my only thing on the list for the new kitchen. I love it so much. Gas was a big improvement over halogen for control of heat and so on but induction feels another significant step forward in almost everyway. And I don't have to worry about the gas hob polluting the kitchen and dining room now. Only issue is gas is cheaper than electricity so although the induction hob uses less energy, it is slightly more expensive to run anyway.
You electricity is likely (at least in par) generated using fossil fuel. That’s not to say that the technology isn’t a valiant effort, just that the corporate side of things needs to catch up. While individuals worry about campfires, industry worries about profits. We worry about straws while big fishing is littering the ocean with nets without consequence.
Your daily reminder that most pollution is done by industries, not your home stove. So while it is a minuscule help for the environment to change your habits, enforcing regulations on industries will have a much greater impact.
Actually for the moment both produce the same amount of CO2, but with induction cooking only 10%-20% of the produced energy goes to watse. Also, when you cook at a moment you have green energy available, it's 100% natural.
@@dennisengelen2517 it’s 100% natural gas* still burning gas regardless. Same effect except for you’re overall health in the kitchen. If you’re a chef do it. If you’re an at home cook with a gas stove you’re good
@@dennisengelen2517 wait what, how do you magically have green energy from using an induction stove? I agree there is less pollution and personal risk using an induction stove, but the vast majority of energy produced in the US is still being done by fossil fuels. So how is it suddenly "green energy"?
lol here in quebec its hydro electricity and energy costs are the lowest in north america and almost all homes use electric stoves has been this way for many years, and our hydro quebec just signed a big contract to sell our electricity to new york so we're even helping out the states to lower there emissions,quebec is on track to be world leader in hydro electricity and clean energy
I read this as "why I cook with an introduction" and I was carefully listening to a guy talk about heating while wondering when will the intro come... lol
The ease in cleaning, energy efficiency, and the fact that they don’t turn my even into a sauna in the summer before the cookware gets hot are the main reasons why I want an induction burner. I would love to replace the gas range with an induction one.
Creating heat from electricity is highly inefficient compared to burning gas, if you're using energy coming from a non-renewable source (like most of the earth) then you're wasting a lot more energy and pulluting more. Gas stoves have a quite hefty list of advantages like: working when there's no electricity (basically when you need it more), being far cheaper, if you need to get a fire going for a candle or something, not burning yourself as you can see the fire actually being on, usually gas stovetops are more resistant to anything.
I grew up in a household that uses gas stoves. But ever since I started cooking for myself regularly, I've always used electric/induction hobs/stoves. I support what this man says 100%, it's a matter of getting used to it when you first switch. I can tell you that whenever I have to use a gas stove now, it also feels clunky and weird. Simply because I'm not used to it. Neither type is 'better' in terms of cooking quality - that is dependent on your own culinary skills, I'm sorry to say. And to add on to the whole 'electric stove + electric cars are still being powered by fossil fuel-generated electricity' argument - feel free to look it up, but generating electricity from fossil fuel at a central plant is generally more efficient than gas stoves and gas vehicles. On top of that, many cities are considering (or already carrying out) alternative energy generation. PLUS, the bigger the market for things like electric cars, the more affordable their individual parts will be. Really, the pros far outweigh the cons.
Fair enough. The thing is electric and induction are very different techs. I would say electric is the worst out of the 3 gas, electric and induction. Induction can be used as well as gas but it takes skill and understanding. Most chefs are using gas because its less artificial but there is really no difference if you know what you doing. Electric stoves are garbage tho.
I mean if we went nuclear we wouldn't need to rely on fossil fuels but big oil scared everybody off from nuclear despite modern technologies making it more efficient, safer and cleaner than ever before.
Well, I use both an LPG burner and induction stove. Mostly cook food on the burner. I generally use the induction for heating water, tea/coffee and instant food.
I really like the idea of a wok induction burner. However, I have to argue about the “safety“ of induction. I have friends who have both hearing aids and pacemakers. They can’t be near an induction burner while it’s working. It interferes with the magnetic action of these devices.
@@HAOS5HD Yeah but only thousands of kilometers to a generating station to burn it to create energy to have that travel hundreds of kilometers to your house! Really doesn’t make any difference
I enjoy cooking for my family, and I guess I'm pretty spoiled so I grew up with an induction stove, and hadn't really had much exposure to other kitchens other than helping friends cook on occasion. Well, being used to having boiling water within 3 minutes and heating things instantly, I was absolutely dumbfounded when I was tasked with simply cooking spaghetti on my own at someone else's house. We don't have a water boiler at home, so when I was told I should boil the water before putting it in a pot I was mind-blown. Or that I could just leave the kitchen for 10-15 minutes to let the pan heat up. I'm pretty sure I looked like I had never touched a kitchen in my life because I couldn't even heat up the tomato sauce properly, at least it took ages 😂 It was a learning experience. Induction is awesome, but definitely something I took for granted.
i'm a private chef, so, i'm cooking a lot, and at a lot of different places, so, i like to bring my induction stove, which is rugged, well built, and very portable so i can take it around with me. i get better, more even browning on my induction stove than any other stove, and the reaction times from hot to low to hot, is faster than anything.
As a guy that lives in an induction area (no natural gas lines here) I can tell you 1: it's not instant. 2: it's much harder to regulate heat as the dial is not linear like a gas stovetop. 3: That shit gets hot and takes forever to cool to the point where it's adding a ton of heat into your home. I'd go gas any day of the week, and the environmental angle only works in areas where you're using 100% green energy, otherwise gas is actually better.
Gas being more environmental only looks at energy produced and ignores the fact that the majority of that energy (around 80%) is lost to air. With induction, the loss is only around 15%.
That wok-friendly induction stove is definitely on my shopping list :0

As someone who has lived in Greece their entire life induction is the standard here. Stove tops are so foreign to us, we only see them in American movies. If you want you can replace your stove top with four individual inductions of different sizes. Makes cooking easier and safer.

I love an induction hob, super easy to clean and get absolutely sparkling. My parents always go for a gas job though because when they were young and also when I was growing up money was tight and they sometimes wouldn’t have money for electricity so it would go off until they could top it up (we had this key thing that you would put money on at the local corner shop and stick into your box so it wasn’t like a monthly bill, more like a pay as you go, my uk council scheme kids will remember this) so they always had a gas hob so they could still cook and it wasn’t until I was older that I actually found out that the power cuts were because we had no money. We were chatting and I was talking about how I used to love power cuts because we would play hide and seek in the dark and then put a bit of bread onto a fork and make toast on the gas hob and it was so much fun. They basically made a bad situation into a great memory for me and my brother so to this day the still get a gas hob
Fun for a kid but I bet your parents were stressed the whole time... good parents

I've been cooking on induction for over 10 years now. My electric stove is turned off in the master box. It is so easy to cook by temperature instead of "guessing" the height of the flame. I love how easy they are to clean, how cool my kitchen is all summer long - all year long actually - & how low my energy bills are. Look into it. Would love to be of the grid.

He's mostly wrong though for the record.
@@beauclark1650 would you mind elaborating a bit? I understand if not. :) at least I know it’s not true and worth looking into more.
We're moving houses and my parents decided to get induction! Im super happy with it and it works amazingly
Bro, this was like the best advertisement for induction EVER made.
Agree with most points made about the use of an induction stove, particularly about safety and cleaning.
Problem I have was using the blanket term 'fossil fuels' when talking about gas heating and their supposed impact on the environment.
Most gas lines for heating in houses, from personal experience, are natural gasses usually methane. While they are not the cleanest sources of energy they are more efficient than green alternatives and are relatively clean in comparison to other 'fossil fuels'.
Unless your electricity is provided from a cleaner alternative source you're unlikely making a positive environmental impact just from using an induction stove. Natural gas is generally cheaper to use.
Nothing against their opinion though, I just think the environmental message is a bit overstated and doesn't present the merits of natural gas energy. Which is an efficient and relatively clean source of energy when compared to other forms.
These people don’t think they jus go with whatever the news or their favorite bullshit media outlet tells them
Well said. I hate it when people try to virtue signal and shame others for not doing what they’re doing yet have no knowledge of what they’re really talking about. Stick to cooking.
Yep, the clown has his cooker plugged into a wall. And exactly where does he think that energy is coming from?
Agree…no one has talked about the impact of the battery manufacturing & disposal.
Finally. Someone who does their research
This is standard in scandinavia. I don’t know anyone with a gas-stove.
In Denmark gas stoves is still a thing and lots of people have them. Especially in in the older parts of cities where gaspipes has been installed ages ago.
I have one in Sweden! I don't think any of my neighbors do though. And I love cooking on gas!
In Spain too, only really old houses will have a gas stove. Pretty much everyone has induction
Induction wastes much more energy compared to gas stoves, plus real men use fire
@@Sanchez792 Wait since when do induction stoves waste energy? I'm pretty sure you, and a few others in this comment section, are confusing induction with a standard electrical stove.
As for the fire comment... I was a scout for nearly 12 years, and I'm really wondering what's so manly about it.
I feel the same exact way. My dad and family ask how can I cook on this.. I tell them it’s easy clean up, no gas killing me and it’s good for the environment.
My biggest issue with induction is that it's LOUD. Not everyone can hear it, but I'm very sensitive to high pitched hums that come from induction cook-tops and old CRTs. I absolutely can't stand being near them, which sucks.
Seriously faster. You can get water to boiling point in less than 20 seconds on Boost Power. Induction cools down faster also.
How much are you paying for the electric bill
Zero, because I don't have grid.
Btw for induction stoves it only works for pans made of certain materials (at least the one my family has)
yeah there are some that only react to certain metals, usually as a safety feature so you don't burn your hand accidentally
Induction cooktops will work with any pan to which a refrigerator magnet will cling too. The harder the cling, the easier the transfer of energy into the pan.
Yeah that's because of the way induction works
You need the ones with the coil sign on the packaging which indicates they can be used on induction
We used induction burners at a very small bakery I used to work. They were so convenient. You can move them to whatever you counter you need to or get them out of the way completely when you need more space.
Bought an induction range for kitchen remodel. Absolutely love it and I grew up with a gas stove.
I have been using induction for couple of years now. I love how it boils water under 30 seconds
That chopping made my heart sing🥰
Interesting perspective! Never thought of it this way, but I’ve cooked both flame and induction. Informative and thoughtful. Great video! Thanks!
Also it is the most efficient form of heating in terms of surface area. Most of the heat of gas stoves tend to escape and not heat the pan
I was searching on tips how to wok with an induction stove and then I found this channel, looked through it and immediately subbed!

You only need to make sure the pan, pots, etc, are magnetic for it to work on an induction (as mentionned it's because of a magnetic field that it heats up)

Would love to have this in our household if not for the rolling blackout which still happens quite often here.
I want to point out that this is great but if your city uses fossil fuels to power your home then it’s technically still using fossil fuels and contributing to GHG emissions. I’m not knocking him using induction or his video. I love induction because it’s ease of use and how easy they are to clean. They are also much safer. I’m just saying it might be worth seeing how your city decides to power itself and if it’s 100% fossil fuels it might be worth writing them expressing your interest in them using more eco friendly forms of energy production, because why do all that work to reduce your carbon footprint when your local municipality negates all that effort.
Exactly what i'm thinking. Unless his electricity source is renewable using induction doesn't change the fossil fuel consumption.
@@bwane5961 actually in a power plant the gas has more energy extracted from it than if you use a gas stove so it would still be more environmentally friendly as you would be using less of it and thus contributing to fewer emissions
Exactly, it’s the same reason why “electric” cars won’t save the world
While the current electrical grid isn't entirely green, as time goes on it will get more sustainable, and most areas in America have some renewable sources, which is better than the alternative of a gas stove which is entirely nonrenewable.
@@petartsankov8655 i didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know.
While i appreciate the concern for the climate, i must say that the pollution from the use of fossil fuels is mainly from electricity production and industrial transportation. Switching to induction is not a problem though, just wanted to point out the inaccuracy.
Micro managing can go a long way.
Though why induction stoves are a lot less harmful to the environment is because they transfer 90% of energy as heat to the pan while a gas stove only transfers 35% of energy as heat to the pan.
@@johanedfors3899 it really doesn’t tho, all the unregulated factories and shit overseas is what’s killing our globe, cars an trucks an using a gas stove is not what’s going to make this difference, people need to become more self sustainable and waste less not do piddly bullshit like this that promotes waste, you already have a stove in your house your buying extra things you don’t need to pay yourself on the back and make yourself feel better an then you can throw it in the dump in 2 years when it breaks

@@Turtleman95 well, I agree. All this "you all need to start thinking more green" kind of feels like bussines putting blame on consumers, when they are the ones incentivicing consuming as much as possible, as thats the most profitable strategy. However, getting an induction stove is harmless and will create less waste over time due to the saving of energy. Its also a lot more convinient than a gas stove. Literally no reason to hate on this.
@@erichale7896 you're delusional. Volcanoes have existed for 4 billion years and never have they caused as much of an issue as humans have (except for some extremely big volcanoes erupting like yellowstone). Humans emit 60 times the amount of CO2.

I live alone and love to cook but I'm afraid of fire and gas burners because those were the reasons why one of our childhood neighbor lost their home. So thank you to whoever invented induction, saved me so much stress 🤗
I’ve never had a glass top stove but screw those coil burners. I’m not familiar with these at all but I just like how precise you can be with setting your heat to exactly where you want it with gas.
This is fair and I use induction at my house but natural gas that you use in your home is a very clean form of energy whereas if you are using electricity you most likely get your energy from coal if you live in the US
He’s just quoting what the news told him, these people don’t understand that things trickle down same shit with electric vehicles, look at all the things required to mine stuff for the batteries and the fact they don’t last as long we’ll end up with more pollution

@@Nursemidratz What would you suggest as an alternative way to shift the focus towards long term ecological responsibilities? Any meaningful change will take a long time and his embracing newer technology and willingness to change for the better is admirable, even if misguided. It’s a pivot towards a better direction.
@@bigwheel9132 I would question how misguided it even is. An awful lot of counterpoints to environmentalism are half truths thrusted upon masses of layfolk. Mind you, a lot of environmental rhetoric is the same. We need to compare the two as fairly as we can, which often feels like comparing apples and oranges.
How do the emissions from gas stoves compare to the coal used to power induction stoves? How much of that power is truly coal derived, and how much will be in the future? If/when cleaner power sources become available, will chefs be willing to retrain for induction, or will they cling to familiar gas appliances? What will happen to gas supplies if supplanted by new power sources?
I'm sure theres tons of healthy discussion to be had on topics like this, but i sadly never see it happen without being shouted down by vested interests.
@@Turtleman95 the production emissions of electric cars is only some 20% worse than traditional cars, which gets recouped within a few years of driving anyways. The longevity of either isn't all too different either. As technologies develop, electric will likely pull ahead in both regards.
Personally, i cant see a transportation future without some type of gas, be it petroleum or biofuel. I have no illusions that electric power will rise in efficacy, efficiency, and even desirability, but i doubt it will be the catch all solution that many purport it to be.
Tried induction because of you dude. Never looked back.
I used to have a ceramic electric stove. I'm so happy I changed to induction, it's such a game changer
I swore by gas stove after having a terrible experience with induction in airbnbs I stayed. But I now moved into a house where iy uses induction, and I think it's a decent quality one and I must say my opinion on induction changed, i love it to bits. It's easier to clean, faster to heat pans, taste didn't really change from gas, space saver if you have a small space as I can use the stovetop sorta like a bench when I'm not cooking.

@@lukalazovic7459 Dont listen to the naysayers, flame cooking being an inherently imperfect heat source causes hot-spots in the pan (even a good quality pan cannot avoid this).
This means that you will naturally get some randomness in the way your food is cooked.
Unlike induction which is much more even.
Basically, micro portions of your food are being "burnt" when you cook with flame, and despite what you might think "burnt" is actually a good flavor to have in smal portions like this.
So there is a difference.
Induction cook tips use a lot of electricity and that's usually made with dirty fuel so I'd say if you're using gas or induction th footprint is probably the same if not worse for induction pending on what produces your electricity in your local area, most likely coal
Exactly. It’s unfortunate that a lot of people are led to believe that some products are better than others because it doesn’t produce nasty pollution even though it still does just not in your home
Don't go giving the secrets away. I need to make a lot of money off their false sense of environment contribution.

Going electric for everything is not more environmentally friendly. Ironically people continue to support the corporations that are actually destroying the environment by purchasing stuff like this.
It's like he has no idea how electricity is generated.
The materials used in the manufacture of appliances like induction burners often need to be strip mined. Also the electricity has to come from somewhere. If it comes from wind or solar, those technologies use as much of not more fossil fuels in their transport and manufacture than the power they generate.
I was today years old when I learned about wok induction hobs, instant subscription man.
Actually with the current gas demand and supply, Gas burners are greener than Not using gas burners since the gas is more harmful when not burned
I have an induction stove and I'm never going back. It's the best! So easy to clean and the temperature control is amazing.
He lost his Asian card long time ago if he's cooking with wok without fire
Ok karen
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, most of the nation's electricity was generated by natural gas, coal, and nuclear energy in 2019. Electricity is also produced from renewable sources such as hydropower, biomass, wind, geothermal, and solar power
@ChuBbs huh what’s the bs he’s just stating what energy sources are used in the us, and it’s true that natural gas, coal, and nuclear energy are the biggest sources
@ChuBbs if that's lies, then what is the truth?
Thanks for making a video about this, I didn’t even know this was a thing. Getting mine now.
they're also so much faster than gas; so much less wasted heat means they boil super quickly!
I’m more interested in the induction wok burner. It’s otherwise kinda hard to get the BTUs to properly run a wok
I've been trying to see what brand his is to track one down.
I love induction, sometimes it’s hard to comprehend how fast it heats up (if you’ve never used one) it literally like boils water in a few minutes whereas a normal stove I be waitin there for like 10, also all the other stuff too
It seems to me that the time it takes to heat up also depends on the thickness of the utensil being used...
@@philliplam7371 true, but if you take the same pan for example it is just so much faster
Living in the US. Had gas for years then 10 years ago bought an induction range. I'm hooked. Nothing better. Will be buying an induction wok soon as well as an induction rice cooker. Exciting times.
Can you do a how to season your work with induction?
We've had an induction hob for a few years now and didn't look back.
Bro you‘re Not doing anyone a favor using induction instead of gas 😂. Where do you think your electricity is coming from? If it‘s not from your solar roof it‘s most likely coming from a coal-plant or a gasturbine.
It's coming from all of those, which is better then only gas
.... We've had induction burners for like 20 years now. Before that we had electric ovens based on coils. They're generally really good and easy to use.
Bro the emissions problem isn't from a gas hob, it's from the coal fired steel mill down the road
The electric grid, for the most part, runs off of fossil fuels. Going more than 50% renewable is asking for trouble. The rule of thumb is to engineer for the worst days, those emergency situations. You cant do that with all renewable energy sources today.
There are newer ways to store access energy from renewables for rainy and nuclear is still a thing. We need to integrate all green tech if we wish to keep climate change on check
@@TheDarkPacific you cant keep the sun and wind on check without severely altering the climate ourselves. Which in my opinion would just go against the purpose. Nuclear is interesting and is getting cleaner every year. Still nuclear has its own inherent risks and those are freaking wild.
@@alilruthlessify Its not about trying yo keep either on check. What i mean, is that there is no one solution for solving our climate and energy crisis. Norway is near 100% relying on renewables, because it use all them. From hydro to thermo to wind and sun. The U.S has states where solar is a no brainer. Other states wind makes more sense. We need to use all the tools on hand to keep the world from going to shit
At this, why not just use a real flame stove! People can say environment all they want, but nothing compares to real fire for cooking asian cuisine
Wait till he finds out how the electricity is generated …
Literally about to say that. We talk about that in my job with customers. Its are you wanting to burn energy on your end or the electric company's end.
You can choose an electricity provider that uses renewable sources.
@@ChadieRahimian I guess that depends on where you live. Most places i have seen, you only get 1 because it is a monopoly that is held by gov standards so they don't over charge. The reason there is only one is so you don't have wires from all the different providers, makes no sense to have multiple providers in terms of the power grid.
it's true but electricity itself can be generated from other sources and hopefully it soon will
Most places in the states use renewable energy during most hours of the day because it’s simply cheaper now. Look up your local utility’s energy portfolios. If you live in California for example, you usually have several options including IOUs and the generally more clean CCAs. Even if it isn’t using renewables, gas burned at a power plant is generally much more efficient than gas burned on your stovetop grill.
This is definitely a great alternative to cooking over a natural gas fire. It may be tricky to get the technique down at first but after you do it will become second nature. As an EE I can say that it is not cooking that is consuming the most natural gas, yet it is our production of our electricity.
Love that, will think more highly of our own induction stove etc thanks for sharing 😊
He cooks, he works, and he cares about the earth? Sir 😭❤️✨
That's a lot of effort for a problem that is only 20% of a much bigger problem. People never question how they get electricity to their house. Truth is that the US electrical grid is pretty outdated. So unless your source is 0 emissions then technically you're still contributing to the problem
Yeah. It’s good to conserve where we can as long as it’s reasonable. China is the world’s largest polluter, two times more than the US. Then India. Scientists are on the verge of solving the nuclear fusion heat loss issue with stellarartors, the Wendelstein 7-X. Near limitless energy without nuclear waste. That would drastically reduce emissions across the world and make space travel much more practical.
And people who keep beating the renewable energy drum also don't understand that coal and natural gas is far more reliable. Solar and wind are nice but the wind isn't always blowing and the sun isn't shining. So how are you supposed to create energy all the time from something that happens at most half the day?
@@HH-le1vi yes and they never seem to consider the huge “carbon footprint” expense of mining and processing the minerals that make all those batteries and plastics and metals that house those batteries. And they seem to never consider what to do with those batteries, solar panels, and wind turbines when they stop working.
@@HH-le1vi this narrative is what they want you to believe. Going all renewable energy isn’t a silver bullet. Like OP said our energy grid is outdated which makes it extremely energy inefficient. On top of that having a solar panel on your roof won’t make the difference. Corporations not producing energy through all fossil fuels is how you do it. Have you never heard of a carbon neutral company? Apple is currently trying to be carbon neutral by 2025. Also too combat your point on solar and wind not going to matter is also false because places like California and Hawaii have already committed to being ran off of 100% renewable energy by 2050. Do some research before spewing garbage
Those portable ones are a great addition. However, induction doesn’t heat copper as it’s not ferromagnetic so if you have lovely copper wear saucepans you can’t use them.
I don't know one chef that likes induction, the induction provides less control due to the area above which holds heat, there's no way to drop temp quick without leaving heat
Uncle Roger didn't like that
🤣
Also from a technician's stand point, I rarely work on induction cooktops. So they're built better to begin with, I've seen gas and regular electric cooktops go bad within the first year of regular use. And the only times I've worked on induction were when the electronic boards were shorted or surged with power.
Bro.....what? Natural gas ranges last 15 years. Inductions last about 8 years..... wtf are you smoking. Electronics in my lovely big phased array radar tech experience break....OFTEN. always broke. Always fixing. Gas? Nothing in lige is forever but certainly waaaaay more than a year
We got one recently. I do most of the cooking and it was my only thing on the list for the new kitchen. I love it so much. Gas was a big improvement over halogen for control of heat and so on but induction feels another significant step forward in almost everyway. And I don't have to worry about the gas hob polluting the kitchen and dining room now.
Only issue is gas is cheaper than electricity so although the induction hob uses less energy, it is slightly more expensive to run anyway.
I LOVE that induction wok burner
It seems like he was extremely prepared for a question he didn't expect
I am honestly rethinking all my life decisions about my kitchen. The environment is a huge selling point. Thanks Chef Jon!
We've got built in induction, like above the oven. It's getting quite common in my country. And tbh its amazing.
When the electric goes out. It’s always good to have a back up propane gas😊
You electricity is likely (at least in par) generated using fossil fuel. That’s not to say that the technology isn’t a valiant effort, just that the corporate side of things needs to catch up.
While individuals worry about campfires, industry worries about profits.
We worry about straws while big fishing is littering the ocean with nets without consequence.
Your daily reminder that most pollution is done by industries, not your home stove. So while it is a minuscule help for the environment to change your habits, enforcing regulations on industries will have a much greater impact.
Way to talk yourself out of responsibility
Thank you for that information. I didn't know any of this.
I could listen to his voice all day.
The electricity in my country is so unstable it’s more reliable to have a gas stove 🤷🏻♂️
This! I was thinking about how he would cook if the power went out
How is your electricity produced? Until you address that the statement about it being better for the environment isn't as true as you think.
Actually for the moment both produce the same amount of CO2, but with induction cooking only 10%-20% of the produced energy goes to watse. Also, when you cook at a moment you have green energy available, it's 100% natural.
@@dennisengelen2517 it’s 100% natural gas* still burning gas regardless. Same effect except for you’re overall health in the kitchen. If you’re a chef do it. If you’re an at home cook with a gas stove you’re good
@@dennisengelen2517 wait what, how do you magically have green energy from using an induction stove? I agree there is less pollution and personal risk using an induction stove, but the vast majority of energy produced in the US is still being done by fossil fuels. So how is it suddenly "green energy"?
lol here in quebec its hydro electricity and energy costs are the lowest in north america and almost all homes use electric stoves has been this way for many years, and our hydro quebec just signed a big contract to sell our electricity to new york so we're even helping out the states to lower there emissions,quebec is on track to be world leader in hydro electricity and clean energy
OK cool Karen 👍
I read this as "why I cook with an introduction" and I was carefully listening to a guy talk about heating while wondering when will the intro come... lol
The ease in cleaning, energy efficiency, and the fact that they don’t turn my even into a sauna in the summer before the cookware gets hot are the main reasons why I want an induction burner. I would love to replace the gas range with an induction one.
Creating heat from electricity is highly inefficient compared to burning gas, if you're using energy coming from a non-renewable source (like most of the earth) then you're wasting a lot more energy and pulluting more.
Gas stoves have a quite hefty list of advantages like: working when there's no electricity (basically when you need it more), being far cheaper, if you need to get a fire going for a candle or something, not burning yourself as you can see the fire actually being on, usually gas stovetops are more resistant to anything.
I grew up in a household that uses gas stoves. But ever since I started cooking for myself regularly, I've always used electric/induction hobs/stoves. I support what this man says 100%, it's a matter of getting used to it when you first switch. I can tell you that whenever I have to use a gas stove now, it also feels clunky and weird. Simply because I'm not used to it. Neither type is 'better' in terms of cooking quality - that is dependent on your own culinary skills, I'm sorry to say.
And to add on to the whole 'electric stove + electric cars are still being powered by fossil fuel-generated electricity' argument - feel free to look it up, but generating electricity from fossil fuel at a central plant is generally more efficient than gas stoves and gas vehicles. On top of that, many cities are considering (or already carrying out) alternative energy generation. PLUS, the bigger the market for things like electric cars, the more affordable their individual parts will be. Really, the pros far outweigh the cons.
Fair enough.
The thing is electric and induction are very different techs. I would say electric is the worst out of the 3 gas, electric and induction.
Induction can be used as well as gas but it takes skill and understanding.
Most chefs are using gas because its less artificial but there is really no difference if you know what you doing. Electric stoves are garbage tho.
I mean if we went nuclear we wouldn't need to rely on fossil fuels but big oil scared everybody off from nuclear despite modern technologies making it more efficient, safer and cleaner than ever before.
Well, I use both an LPG burner and induction stove. Mostly cook food on the burner. I generally use the induction for heating water, tea/coffee and instant food.
I really like the idea of a wok induction burner. However, I have to argue about the “safety“ of induction. I have friends who have both hearing aids and pacemakers. They can’t be near an induction burner while it’s working. It interferes with the magnetic action of these devices.
Unless you’re powering your induction through renewable energy still burns gas
I was just going to say that my power company uses petroleum based fuel to generate electricity. Cooking with gas is cheaper in my part of the world.
exactly
But you don't have to transport the gas hundreds of kilometers to get it to the stove
@@HAOS5HD Yeah but only thousands of kilometers to a generating station to burn it to create energy to have that travel hundreds of kilometers to your house! Really doesn’t make any difference
I enjoy cooking for my family, and I guess I'm pretty spoiled so I grew up with an induction stove, and hadn't really had much exposure to other kitchens other than helping friends cook on occasion.
Well, being used to having boiling water within 3 minutes and heating things instantly, I was absolutely dumbfounded when I was tasked with simply cooking spaghetti on my own at someone else's house. We don't have a water boiler at home, so when I was told I should boil the water before putting it in a pot I was mind-blown. Or that I could just leave the kitchen for 10-15 minutes to let the pan heat up.
I'm pretty sure I looked like I had never touched a kitchen in my life because I couldn't even heat up the tomato sauce properly, at least it took ages 😂 It was a learning experience. Induction is awesome, but definitely something I took for granted.
In Italy most of us don't use induction yet.
i'm a private chef, so, i'm cooking a lot, and at a lot of different places, so, i like to bring my induction stove, which is rugged, well built, and very portable so i can take it around with me. i get better, more even browning on my induction stove than any other stove, and the reaction times from hot to low to hot, is faster than anything.
As a guy that lives in an induction area (no natural gas lines here) I can tell you 1: it's not instant. 2: it's much harder to regulate heat as the dial is not linear like a gas stovetop. 3: That shit gets hot and takes forever to cool to the point where it's adding a ton of heat into your home. I'd go gas any day of the week, and the environmental angle only works in areas where you're using 100% green energy, otherwise gas is actually better.
Common sense
If you have a lot of waste heat you probably have a convection system, not induction.
Gas being more environmental only looks at energy produced and ignores the fact that the majority of that energy (around 80%) is lost to air. With induction, the loss is only around 15%.
