    If your pans are taking time to heat up, you probably had resistive plates, not induction. Induction is FAST - fast to heat up, but also fast to cool down. It’s very similar to cooking on gas.

      They probably had glass-ceramic. A lot of people confuse those for induction, since they basically look the same when it’s off: a black glass plate.

      When it’s on, the glass-ceramic lights up and becomes red or purple, while induction stays black.

      Induction is faster than gas. I have never met anyone who prefers gas to induction after using induction for a while.

        Buying an induction cooker has made cooking in apartments with shitty coils so much better, I don’t even want gas in the future anymore. We’re considering getting a cover for the range and just buying 2 more induction tops
