    It’s not an argument I’ve seen in this conversation yet, but I’ll also head this off: gas ranges are not the best cooktop for ultimate temperature control either. If you cook sugar or temper chocolate a lot, a standalone induction cooktop like the Breville Control Freak will do a way better job, and you don’t need to change your permanent kitchen appliances to make that work. Combine that with an induction kettle like others have mentioned, and the broiler for peppers (I do this weekly having moved somewhere that doesn’t have gas) and there is literally no reason to choose gas in the kitchen.

      Perhaps more importantly gas is just way more dangerous, heats up the space way too much when you don’t need it and wastes the heat, and overall just isn’t good for you - you need a well ventilated kitchen. Gas ranges need to die.

      at $1,499.95 for a single burner it better damn well.

        It’s for sure a professional tool, but nobody else really needs those features anyway.
