Stoves like pic related are shit, yeah, but the induction cooktop I've got is great. Boiling water for pasta etc. takes like two minutes and it has 10 different settings.

>the lowest setting is still too hot if i want to just simmer a bit
I actually find this to be the case using a propane gas range, never had a problem with my electric stove being too cold.

Gas is much more expensive in Europe so they use electric.
Especially in professional kitchens the cost savings is enough they use inferior cooking tech.

>Gas is much more expensive in Europe

Depends. Northern European countries on the North Sea fields still have fairly cheap gas.

Electric stoves are horseshit. Gas is the only way to go.

This. Too bad gas isn't always available...

Any cook worthy of the name and not a raging alcoholic or drug addled addict will be able to produce equal quality dishes using any fuel source except perhaps, wood fire.

Even fucking GE has that shit in their cooktops.

This. Though electric is nice. No sauna kitchen. No hot handles/ladles/burning at the edges or the sauteuse. And nice, smooth surface to one-wipe clean rather than the hell that is gas burners and their foil covered accoutrements.

This. The slightest simmer is the only thing I'd ever found electric ranges to be good at. You must be doing something wrong, opie.

Oh look, it's another "WOW LOOK AT ME I CAN'T COOK" thread. Bet you fuck up well done steak as well.

I have had both and I prefer gas because I can still cook when the power goes out. I also feel like I have better control with the gas range.
