i think he still haven't learn how to use it well.
when using gas , we usually put the wok on the stove and heat it up.after tht only put in oil/water ...
induction tak bulih , cause they heat up very fast , so u must put the oil in the wok then only switch it on.
actually induction easy to use. just when stir fry need sometime to get used to it and how to adjust the heat.
well , a lot ask heat is heat , y gas n induction different.
1)ok,gas stove control knob it round and circle , u turn to whatever position you want.
but induction is button control.so every degree/number u choose is preset with specific heat output.
example , u want to braise pork using induction , u choose indicator 1 the power is too low but indicator 2 is too high. u cant get 1.5
but with gas stove , no prob.
2)the heat consistency. in gas stove especially u turn to the lowest flame to simmer something. u will c the soup keep on heating.(how to c? c the bubbles in the soup) but induction works in a way where is u want a low heat , they supply electricity 1sec then stop 1 sec. something like tht , which means heat>stop>heat>stop. so there is no consistency in overall heating. thus this does effect some cooking.
3)induction is very power saving and efficient as it only heats up base on how big your pot is.and the heat supply is very balance around the pot. but this is where gas stove wins especially in chinese cooking where we need the whole wok is heated up and heat concentrate in the middle of the wok. this is what we call wok hei.furthermore with tnb rates , using gas stil cheaper.
4)safety wise i think is the same. depends how to take care and which product u use. if u say gas leaking might meletup. induction oso might leak electricity and kill u or burn down your house. and those marketing ppl say induction safe because after cook , the plate wont be hot. who in the sane mind will touch the burner stove right after cooking? i found this benefit really irrelevant.
and 1 more point is check your area for gas delivery. last time i move to new area. no gas delivery nearby. have to angkut sendiri from kedai runcit. damn heavy i tell u. used induction during my apartment days for 5yrs. still missed gas.new place already use back gas.
at the end , if u seldom do chinese style cooking , go for induction.
if u like me cina apek style , definitely gas.
for long cooking or stew food still can do but vary from brand and provide different function...so when you buy that time you can check the function...the one i using got timer...just set how many minute once reach then it will stop, and i live in condo no gas delivery which not convenience then use to using induction no problem on control heat
