A Redditor reached out to r/Cooking for honest reviews on induction stovetops, and the response was overwhelmingly positive.

The OP explained how they are considering doing a kitchen remodel and were interested in learning more about an induction stove.

"Is it superior to gas in heat efficiency in your testing," asked the OP.

Redditors who've made the switch to induction answered the OP's questions and shared their positive experiences.

"It's far superior to gas in efficiency," wrote one user. 

"Heats much faster, cools down much faster," added another Redditor. "Way more temperature control."

Induction stovetops are up to three times more energy efficient than traditional gas stoves, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. What's more, you'll save time in the kitchen since they heat up faster and are easier to clean.

Compared to gas stoves, induction cooktops are also better for your health, as they keep asthma-causing gases out of your household. On top of improving your indoor air quality, induction stovetops don't release planet-warming gases into the atmosphere.  

For homeowners considering the switch, induction burners are a great place to start. Brands like Copper offer an affordable option. Plus, thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, homeowners can get up to 30% off the cost of an induction range.
