Before this info about how unhealthy gas stoves are came out, I switched to an induction range. I really liked it then and still do now. Highly recommended.

It would be nice if they were more widely available. I went out looking at stoves recently and, aside from the type which gets built into your countertop and doesn't include an oven, I was only able to find two induction ranges at all. Not exactly a lot of options.

Only 2! What country are you in (if you don't mind saying).

I bought mine at a discount from Craigslist. Costco has them and so does Best Buy. Probably also Sam's club. I hope you can find more than 2 options.

I avoid Costco like the plague because of the crowding and bad behavior of so many customers. We don't have Sam's Club near me, but I assume it would be the same if we did. I'll check out what Best Buy has, though, thanks.

Both Costco and Sam's have online.

Huh, I had no idea.
