Haha you can .. But many people will say its impossible to do so because of the big difference in heat distribution/intensity between a normal fire stove on gas and an induction stove .. My recommendation though ... don't get an induction stove. You'll notice you electricity bill multiply by 3 times. Its ridiculous, the only perk about using it is that it can bring liquids to a boil in less than 15 seconds, and it makes for easy cleaning of you cook area.

 

Gas can be a bit dangerous for clumsy person, tho', so induction has another plus which is safety factor...?

Yes and No.

 

When we see fire over a gas stove, we will be careful not to go near and even when the fire is off, our mind registered that "the stove was used earlier, stay away".

For induction, we may not register immediately there was heat earlier. Just have to be careful not to scald yourself.

 

Having said that -  one must take note different cooking utensils for gas stove VS induction. Eg: wok VS flat based saucepan.

 

Happy Cooking!

Some induction stoves have an indicator to let you know the induction element is hot even after the stove has been turned off. The indicator goes off once the element has cooled sufficiently. Most of the induction cooking utensils can also be used for gas stoves, but not necessarily the other way around because induction utensils must be made of ferromagnetic material. And like what you mentioned, induction pots/pans must have a flat base, so you will never find a traditional wok which will work on induction.

 

Another safety factor is that you will never really forget to turn off an induction stove because the power automatically shuts off if the pot is removed from the surface. Likewise the power doesn't come on even after you turn on the stove, until you place the pot there.
