In fact, more than three-quarters of all the methane emissions released by the stoves happened when they were off, the study found—a phenomenon that is likely explained by leaky pipes, and ill-fitted connections between natural gas hookups and the appliances they power. “Merely having the stove in your house creates a potential exposure pathway to air pollutants,” says Seth Shonkoff, executive director of PSE Healthy Energy, a research institute that collaborated with Stanford University on the study.”
would be interesting cost/therm or btu rater than efficiency.
“The government-backed energy efficiency monitor Energy Star notes that induction cookware transfers heat with about 85% efficiency, far more than gas (32%) and most electric stoves (75-80%).”
also, how do i do the chef shaky-shaky? are induction tops fragile?
an ideal might be a induction 2-burn, plus middle griddle, + one big wok-friendly gas burner.
