A TikTok user recently took to the site to explain why she uses an electric induction hotplate rather than her traditional gas stove.
In the video, Colleen (@colleenkepler3) explains that sometimes when she turns her gas stove on, she hears a clicking and the sound of the gas, but it doesn't always produce a fire.

"I'm terrified my house is going to blow up," she says.
She goes on to reveal she has solar panels, so using an electric induction plate doesn't cost her any extra money.
Colleen isn't the only person leveling up to induction cooking. This is because people are realizing the dangers of using gas stoves. An expert named DR Richardson compares having a gas stove to having a tailpipe directly into your home. Popular chef Jonathan Kung explains he finds them to be safer and more efficient for his cooking needs.
Using electric appliances rather than gas ones comes with a wide variety of benefits. First and foremost, it saves you money on expensive gas bills. But it is also good for the environment. The use of gas and other dirty fuels such as coal and oil releases toxic pollution into the atmosphere, warming our planet and leading to poor health outcomes for all living things. And installing solar panels to power your home only increases the electric benefits.
Installing solar panels is the ultimate home energy hack because it can bring your energy bills down to or near $0. And it is now easier than ever to do so, thanks to a company called EnergySage. It has an innovative, free online tool that allows potential consumers to compare quotes from vetted contractors, which has saved customers up to $10,000.
Another way to maximize energy savings at home is to install an HVAC heat pump. These are much more energy-efficient devices than traditional HVAC systems and therefore, lower your monthly bills. In fact, it is estimated that installing a heat pump in your home can lead to annual savings of about $400. And Mitsubishi has a great service that can help curious customers find the best heat pump for their needs.
Commenters on the original post were sympathetic.
