    For home heating and cooking, they’re definitely a good route.

    Ordinary coil stoves are fine to cook on too (I did for decades) but don’t meet the need for upper-class signalling in the way that induction does.

      It’s not their effectiveness that’s in question, just their efficiency.

      Obviously the conversion of electricity > heat is always the same (100%) but induction is better at getting more of that heat into the food rather than the surroundings.
