BUT [gas] heats 10 times faster Everything I have seen has said that induction is the fastest, followed by traditional electric, and then gas is the slowest. I’m also dubious about this “instant control of heat”. Why wouldn’t turning an induction stove off be the same thing? They both stop heating the pan, and then the only heat left is what’s in the pan. The big difference being that the gas option has heated up the room as well, because it shoots heat all over the place, while the induction stove only heats the pan directly. Electric I get, it’s going to hold some heat in the coil, but I don’t see how induction differs from gas in this regard.

Induction is faster and more responsive than gas.

The gas being faster than electric thing is not relevant with induction. Induction DESTROYS gas for responsiveness, it’s literally digital and nearly direct heat. There’s no competition and it isn’t even close. The only thing more direct would be if you ran electricity directly through the pan and it started glowing. If you want to compare gas vs induction, talk about cooking technique and the ability to lift, tip, and move around the pan, and the needed sweet spot for induction being teeny tiny and safety first so if it detects the cookware leaving it turns off.
