personally, I am not convinced I even have asthma. we'll know if a die of COPD. whatever. the rest of my life I will try to be less judgmental and be more open minded. you do you.

If a Doc says "cooking with gas may be a problem" and you have another good solution, it would seem crazy to ignore the Doc. Stay healthy, fella. Maybe cooking with gas is a problem, maybe it's not, but better safe than sorry.

and induction. my friend in Asia has a wok burner that is induction. it is a concave surface that the wok nestles into. the heat changes so rapidly. I imagine the neighborhood lights dimming when he goes full power. it is pretty badass. he is a fantastic cook. he likes it. and he is good with it. my friend in Napa has a Thermidor induction, that simmers at a level my gas stove can only dream of. if I make polenta, I have to make a ring out of aluminum foil to get my tiniest flame to just kiss the bottom of the pan with heat. he hits a button called simmer. very dope. we all get to pick out stoves. I was just riffing.

Wow, that's cool, an induction wok burner!

We converted to gas at our old home many years ago. Obviously, there are aspects of cooking with gas that are great. But it's also horribly inefficient. I feel like half or more of the heat produced ends up heating the house instead of the pot. With induction pretty much all of the energy goes to cooking. Maybe some doesn't somehow, but at least it's not heating your home.
