100% agree. Apart from breathing in the gas (which isn’t good) and combustion products (ditto), setting the heat is very imprecise with gas. How hot? Ah… a “medium heat”. What is that? Or “when the flames are smallish”. With induction you write your recipes with a solid number and get consistent results.

I disagree with this. The “numbers” that are on induction stoves are not at all consistent. They aren’t even consistent within the same range between different burners.

		Are they intended to be? Assuming the burners are different sizes - I would not expect the same setting to equal the same wattage on different size burners, as intuition would dictate that a large burner would be more powerful for tasks like wok cooking. What does the operator manual say? It really depends on the quality of the appliance; something like the Breville Control Freak can give you induction cooking with temperature control down to the degree, whereas my cheap countertop Tefal induction hob just gives a few settings with broad power ranges and you have to figure out what works best for you.

		Ok so “burner 1, power 6, 10 minutes”
