@oregon101 , I would LOVE to have your fabulous wok! One of the reasons I yearn to get back to a gas cooktop/range is the ability to use my woks on a suitable element.

@Silpat , I was thinking of the radiant heat type of glass cooktop. I didn’t think that induction was glass.

I’ve never cooked on an induction surface. I understand that many people love them for “serious” cooking. I’m worried that I would have to throw out half of my pots, at least, and buy new ones. I have a rag tag collection of stuff, some of which is nice and some of which isn’t. I’ve never gone out and bought a suite of All-Clad or whatever. I’m still using some hand-me-downs my mother gave me when I had my first apartment, as well as other things I’ve picked up over the years.

@thumper1, I think people should have what they like and want to use, to the degree that they can afford it. I don’t think one needs Wolf or Subzero to have a great-functioning kitchen.
