Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Common house cooktop: induction vs. gas

[Lynn Nadeau / Maraiah (welcome]

For common house use, I aim to choose things that are "idiot proof". There will 
always be some users who are less savvy than others. Induction-- if I remember 
right-- only works with pans made of certain metals. Potluck items, for 
example, could need warming on the stove and might be in the wrong sort of pan.

For 20 years we've had good service from our Dacor gas range. The six burners 
are all on a level, so any size pot works, too. It's heavy duty, but not in the 
commercial category that kicks in fire-suppression requirements.
