If that's the case, a cheapo portable induction cooktop is good enough actually.
Ah yes exactly what everyone wants to do when their gas range with 4-5 burners and an oven needs to be replaced... getting a tabletop induction burner. Perfect replacement.
Lowes currently has a gas range with 4 burners, a built in griddle, and a convection oven from GE for $179.00 right now, and it even comes with a range hood, usually sold separate.
Meanwhile the cheapest random Chinese "brand" single induction burner I can quickly find on Amazon is $89. For 1 burner, that's a tabletop using up counter space instead, and will likely fail within a year because it's not from a real brand. The company probably won't even exist in a year so they don't have to handle warranty claims.
If all you ever need is 1 small burner then awesome. I don't know about everyone else, but I don't usually cook entire meals using a single pan small enough to fit on a small portable burner however. So I'd probably need a larger burner, which is more expensive, and probably multiple burners to actually cook a full meal without having to do one thing at a time. Where I'm right back at the cost of just getting a range and hood that fits where the existing spot in the house already is.
You aren’t talking about this Combo are you…?
Because that has a charcoal filter and is the entire issue with gas ranges, they need to be vented outdoors… yeesh…. Way to completely miss the point.
It’ll cost a grand or so to install a properly vented one FYI. So that gas range just became far pricier than very good electric ones.
Every unit has electricity, gas requires not only for gas to be plumbed to every unit, but now every unit also needs a different hood vent that goes outside. With electric you can get away with a charcoal filter, although ideally it gets vented outside as well.
You’re suggesting every unit be about 3-5k more just so it can used a cheap gas unit…? What…
You and I both know that they should be vented outside, but I'm guessing how often it isn't would be quite frustrating.
My shitty starter house (1995) didn't have a vent, but there was a window in the kitchen, so did that count? My boyfriend's house is in a higher cost of living area with absurdly expensive houses, and he was told (after purchasing the house when he was getting some things updated) that his vented into the attic. He doesn't use it because he doesn't want to blow aerosolized oils all over whatever's up there.
I was shocked that it wasn’t code in some places, it’s been code here since before the 90s. I never even heard of a recirculating one for forever. Any kitchen needs an outside vented range hood, so simple.
And the funny thing is, they preach not to use bbqs inside, yet somehow a gas stove is fine? What? Propane is actually the safer gas.
