@LiberalLibrarian that was a great way to go to/fro San Diego. Bunch of those coastal towns are in trouble

I'd say yes, consider it a third kind of thing. Doesn't behave like either gas or older electric burners. I find them actually quicker than either because virtually no heat is lost (gas flames send heat out to the side)

@janallmac @TomeReader @redenigma
Depends on the surface above the coils. I have one unit with a thin top and so, little thermal mass, is warm to touch a minute after boiling water.

@TomeReader @redenigma @janallmac
As a reformed gas stove fan, I'll vouch for induction with the caveat: cheaper induction units challenge me on lower temperatures, like for scrambling eggs, because they seem to create 'Low' by toggling power.
Better ($$$) units I've used steadily provided low heat and are fantastic.

They all work great on higher temps. Boil water? Done boss, what next.

Spectrum (cable internet) came by and replaced our buried line with one that is lying loose on the ground, all the way down the block to a pole. Just in time for Ian.

I am..puzzled. And soon to be offline.

This. Half of Tampa's population is <10 feet above sea level, and the projected surge is 12-16 feet. The waves and flooding to follow will add to that.

Get.
Go.
Go now.

Libraries have these. Soon enough bookstores will. One day I will buy one.

If printed is your jam, walk up with a pdf walk away with a printed book.
