Cooking on gas is the one environmentally damaging thing I don't want to give up, I'll admit...

induction ranges are like soooooo much better than gas, my parents got one and the range of power it can put out is much larger than any gas stove I've used and it doesn't make the room hot

You can get super fancy induction cook tops that work with conventional woks but even better you can get woks designed to work with conventional induction cook tops.

It'd be hard to make the choice for the induction top without trying it. We have a resistive range/hob so I have a 15kbtu butane burner I use with my wok and it's so, so much better.

If induction was good enough for the cost they wouldn't have to force people. It's going to be cheaper to buy bog standard shit that works how you'd expect with a gas burner. Maybe poor people don't deserve good fried rice.

It's great. Really much better than gas in my opinion.
