In a post on the r/inductioncooking subreddit, the Redditor said their household was considering getting an induction stove. Before making a decision, the Redditor wanted to hear thoughts from others about the changes that come with induction stoves compared to gas, including air quality.
"Given what you know, would you do it again?" the Redditor asked.
