Yes, unfortunately my neighborhood is all-electric, no gas.

A commercial kitchen probably couldn’t operate with cast iron.

What good intentions? The intention is replacement of evil capitalist restaurants with government food distribution by government employees being paid a mandated wage.

Hexclad and a LOT of other brands and types of cookware work with induction stoves.

There are symbols on the packaging and web site info on cookware showing what technologies they will work with.

Do a little searching. You will be surprised.

I hated cooking on electric and induction stoves alike.

There are induction stoves that do work poorly and the early ones weren't the best, not enough power.

Technology has improved them greatly. Don't try a cheap one.

He offers a number of “solutions” all of which amount to “government getting out of the way”. Repealing the minimum wage law would be another good step.

the current economy is once again proving that the minimum wage is zero.

It’s great that you like your induction stove.

Seriously: good for you!

I have used them. I was unimpressed.

I prefer gas.

You are high if you think Golden Corral is good food. I ate in one once a week for 5 years when I was in Kiwanis. It’s widowers food.

Commercial kitchens operate a lot different from a home kitchen.

The government should stick to running the country instead of our lives. They don’t know anything about running a restaurant and shouldn’t be dictating what source of power they use for cooking.

IMO, the government shouldn’t be running anything.

Maybe the military, but since they screw up EVERYTHING they get their paws on, we’d be far better off without them meddling in our lives for our own good.

That is why there are commercial versions of induction stoves.

I think you keep missing the point, gas is better for restaurant and cafe food production and use in their chaotic and cramped operations with multiple users and multiple shifts.

Government should not be forcing your preferred stove on the commercial cooking operations.

What could be worse than introducing open flames to a "chaotic and cramped" work space?

And you are right, government should have nothing to do with this.

How does a different and even quickly controlled heat source for cooking make any difference?

Induction, making the cookware part of the circuit allows instant application or removal of heat.

The cast iron griddles of a gas stove remain hot, still transferring heat to the pot or pan after the gas has been turned down. Induction does not.

Gas burners make the entire workplace hotter than induction does, fatiguing the workers.

Gas is still needed for ovens, but it is inefficient and dangerous on a cooktop.

“Gas is ... inefficient and dangerous on a cooktop.”

Still, out of my cold dead hands.

Classic muscle cars are inefficient and dangerous compared to current boring plain vanilla things, but who wants to give them up?

Oh for crying out loud, leave the pros alone and quit pushing government control.

I know that fast food isn’t the healthiest dietary choice, but I admit to enjoying it perhaps once a week or so. With CA’s wage laws, though, sticker shock is very real. If you’re a California fast-food customer and don’t want to break the bank, you have to be very careful to play the game with the phone apps and points and deals. If you just go in blindly and order a Big Mac (or comparable at one of the other places), fries and soda, be prepared to drop like $16... whereas if you use the app maybe you get free medium fries by buying a soda, and you downgrade to the McDouble and total out to maybe $7.

Apparently you avoided reading the second line of my post. Here it is again. If you are such a pro, I hope you read recipes better:

"And you are right, government should have nothing to do with this."

I read, but your obsession overrode your denial.
