Looks like we're a "go" for switching to an induction stove/range Probably from Costco. Anyone have any recommendations? (I know folks have mentioned that physical controls a lot better than touch screens, for sure) #appliances #inducation

@ai6yr sorry for wandering in the room without context (I can’t find any). You’re doing this because of news in recent years that gas ranges are actually harmful? Also, cleaning an induction range seems like a no brainer.

Stanford: Climate and health impacts of natural gas stoves
Natural gas stoves release methane – a potent greenhouse gas – and other pollutants through leaks and incomplete combustion. Stanford researchers estimate that methane leaking from stoves inside U.S. homes has the same climate impact as about 500,000 gasoline-powered cars and the stoves can expose

3. Cleaning -- so many boiled over batches of jam, all in the inside of the current very-hard-to-clean stove ( high end, Wolf... before they were acquired). Wolf was acquired in 2000... so the stove is at least 26 years old.
4. (most importantly!) The Wolf gas range currently here is starting to have issues (parts no longer available, igniters cannot be replaced, knobs/mechanisms aging).
