Turns out gas stoves emit benzene in non-trivial amounts... Damnit.

I hate glasstops stoves and nothing beats cooking with gas.

There's a reason we have hoods.

Disagree. Induction is as good or better than gas in the ways that matter: great control and responsiveness, high power, super easy to clean, etc. And I'm also not burning hydrocarbons in my home.

A while back I weighed the options and I couldn't be happier having gone with induction.

I disliked it every time I tried it, but maybe the quality was just poor. The three qualities you point out are my complaints about them. Not responsive, low power, hard to clean.

I don't know how to reconcile my experience with what people are claiming...

Are you thinking of plain glasstop stoves? Those are just coil stoves with a layer of glass on top.

Induction stoves are the ones where the surface stays cold.

Glasstops are as you describe.
