Maybe not boom. Maybe everyone just gets really tired and goes to sleep forever.

Concise and informative, thank you :3

The US tried to curtail gas stoves a bit in new home builds at the federal level during Biden's term to reduce asthma and carbon emissions and the GOP predictively lost its shit because that would threaten natural gas profits.

At this point induction stoves are as good as gas ranges to cook on, cheaper to operate, can be powered with clean energy and have no health issues, but Americans are fucking stupid in aggragate.

Gas is the slowest of the three, as well. It's so dumb. The only pros are that fire looks cool and that it can work during a power outage. That's it.

From what I know, gas is not the slowest, at least in the US which uses 120V. I think induction can still match or beat it, but resistive electric is worse?

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 4 days ago

The US uses 240 V (or sometimes 208 V) for electric ovens. The normal outlets in the walls are 120 V, but things like electric ovens and electric clothes dryers use high voltage.

US uses 220-240V for power lines it just has neutral in the middle so standalone homes can use 220-240V.

???

I got gas and it's faster than any induction I've encountered. Like, it's INSTANT.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I added in a video demonstration to the original comment. Can you replicate the test on your gas stove and time it?

[-] RaphaelSchmitz@feddit.org 1 points 3 days ago

Oh I see, we're talking acceleration vs top speed.

Yeah no doubt from me if we're talking about heating up a full pot of water. I do that in a water boiler instead, which is also electric. I was talking more about how quick a chicken filet starts to sizzle if I put it in a pan - and then I definitely do NOT want to proceed to go to max heat! And that's what I meant is (pretty much) instant, couple of seconds maybe (sorry I don't have any chicken filet right now and it isn't dinner time either).

Which, in the end, also falls back to theoretical vs practical a little bit. If I need a lot of water e.g. for noodles, I use the water boiler first - but either way waiting for the water to boil is in the range of minutes. A minute more or less wouldn't make a difference in the process of cooking.

OTOH, if I put a chicken filet in my pan, I already know I'll instantly add salt and spices, and I don't have time to do anything else in the next minute or so. Reaction time is in seconds.
