Since we have bought our new GE Profile induction free standing range we have learned the convenience and responsiveness of inductive cooking. This range has the convenience of an electric stove, and the responsiveness of a gas stove. We can boil a large pan of water in about half the time as we could with a traditional electric and then reduce the heat to the point of a slow boil. When you add your noodles or whatever, the rebound time is very fast coming back to a boil. We will not go back to standard electric.
