Used both, and I personally prefer has. Couple things I didn't like about induction are that you need to buy pots and pans that are specifically made for induction, and tend to be quite a bit more expensive. A simple small frying pan can cost you $120 for induction, whereas just a decent standard frying pan of same size you can get for \~$25.

​

That, and I hated every time you lifted the pot / pan off the burner it would start beeping. For example, if you were making some steaks, and wanted to tip the frying pan so you could baste / pour melted butter over the steaks, it would sit there and annoyingly beep at you.

​

Like others have said though, one benefit is they're easy to clean. That, and you can always get the exact temperature you want if you're blind. You know exactly how many times to push which button to get the exact temperature you want, versus guessing with a knob.

Are you in the UK or US?

IN the UK they have a talking induction hob with waised buttons.

I have an induction stove and I’m not a fan. I can’t feel where to place the pots/pans. My mums friend also renovated her kitchen and her induction stove turns on whenever somethings on top of it so I’d say that’s a pretty big safety hazard.

I disagree. Gas is by far the most accessible. As for safety, there is no reason that gas would be more dangerous for a blind person than it would for anyone else. Most modern stoves use electric igniters, so unless you are using an old stove, the pilot light is a thing of the past. When an electric stove is on, it makes little to no noise. On the other hand, you can very easily hear the flame and gas on a gas stove. Finally, gas stoves are more likely to have simple nobs, which is far more accessible than the completely flat screens of electric models.

A completely blind friend of mine prefers induction stoves because, in his words, they're easier to clean and maintain. I suppose it just depends on how comfortable *you* are with them.

In his mind, the risks don't outweigh the ease.

Gas is the quickest I think for heating up, by trickiest to light and most dangerous I'd they go out. True cooks and professional kitchens all have gas and I imagine thats6for a good reason. I went with induction from ikea 5 years back as induction was touted as amazing. I really cant tell any difference between it and electric. it beeps when something is on it when there isnt meant to be which I suppose is a good feature. All buttons are flush and electronic/touch activated.
