A homeowner took to Reddit to share pictures of their revamped and remodeled kitchen, featuring some incredible next-gen electric appliances.
Posting in the r/kitchenremodel subreddit, the user shared before-and-after pictures of their kitchen and the incredible new countertops and appliances in it.
One commenter asked about making the switch to an induction stovetop, and the poster had nothing but good things to say about the move.
"I've only had it a few days, and I've cooked for decades on gas, so it is a big change for me," they said. "But so far I am very happy with it and can understand the advantages — the temperature control is very precise and quick, so I can go from a hard sear on a steak to lowering it quickly to finish the steak. Also boils water very fast."

They added, "It is superior to gas or electric for very low simmering with no concerns of burning the bottom. Cleanup is also very easy to just wipe it down."
There was a minor downside to the upgrade, though. "I do have to replace my sauce pans, which are 40-year-old Revere Ware copper bottom, but it was time for an upgrade for those anyway," they said, noting their cookware's lack of compatibility with an induction stove, which works via magnets.
But even with that problem, the new tech got the thumbs up, with the original poster saying they were "very happy with the change" and had "no regrets."
