I'd love to electrify my stove (and don't get me wrong I'm not trying to be whiny about it, I really do want to) but it has to be capable of getting a pan wok burner hot. I also cannot stand glass tops. Is there anything for me? I tried 2kw induction burner once with a heavy cast iron pan, and it was glacial compared to gas. I know people say they work great but how much do you have to pay to get one without glass that can get a pan literally smoking hot in under 2 minutes like gas can?

Induction only drawback is the need for more expensive cookware.

For me, induction and cast iron is a match made in heaven.

I'm an indifferent cook, so I don't really have a dog in this hunt. But I'd like to continue to have natural gas to run my whole-home generator in emergencies.
