They’ve got a quite unusual stove that’s got a large battery in it so that it can operate when the power is off, and doesn’t need the installation of a 240v power connection. This avoids the cost of an electrical retrofit of old apartment buildings, which otherwise costs far more.

If you’ve already got your home wired for 240v, you can get an induction stove for far less.

These battery-equipped stoves are expensive right now because they’re being made in quite small numbers. The parts needed are coming down in price quite rapidly, so I expect to see them sold in the $2000/unit price range within a few years.

    If you think that air quality is a built in metric to every conversation about cooking, then I think it’s you who has unrealistic expectations.

    I mean I have a naturally broader systemic view than most people and I know that just because you haven’t folded the concept of cooking into my view of a Unified Field Theory encompassing all of existence doesn’t make me smart and you dumb.

      You are making food in an enclosed space that you are breathing in you fool. Of course it matters. I am not going to stoop to this pedantic of a level to continue to argue with you. If making food with your stove hurts your health and makes your body feel worse, it impacts the holistic experience of cooking and worse it hurts your health. Period, end of story.

        All of those things are subjective experiences I have not experienced. Because ventilation, cooking frequency, and myriad other factors complicate the experience.

        So go ahead and get on your high horse and whine about pedantry.

        Period. Exclamation! Question mark?

          If you have used a gas stove regularly, your health has been impacted to some degree, that is simply what the research shows.

            Food lasts 30 seconds, health problems from gas stoves are over the course of many, many years. OP never once argued against your research, they simply made the claim that food is of better quality then when cooked on a resistance stove, which is true.

            Have you ever actually cooked on a resistance stove?

              Truth be told, I didn’t even mention food quality, I’m just trying to point out that the research he’s referencing would definitely be impacted by variables such as local ventilation differences, burner efficiency, gas flow rates, cooking frequency etc.
