    People explaining how gas stoves are better because they can’t cook on induction stoves to people that use induction stove every day in 3… 2… 1…

    Does anyone hear the high pitched squeal from induction stoves? Did they ever fix that? I really want one but that noise keeps me away.

    • that’s called coil whine, some older folks might recognize it as “the crt sound”. Coil whine is simple to prevent if the manufacturer gives a shit, but then that eats into profit margins and megacorpos hate that. You can get induction cooktops that don’t coil whine, they just cost more.

      I’m very sensitive to high frequency coil whine from electronics, but I’ve never heard a stove do that. I don’t know when you heard one make coil whine, or how cheap it was, but I can tell you I’ve never owned a stove with coil whine. I don’t even buy the most expensive ones (just midrange). Definitely give them another go.

      Coil whines are unfortunately common on low end induction stoves, but medium to high end stoves usually don’t have them.

      Coil whines usually comes from microvibrations due to the current going through the coils, but depending on the build quality it can be almost imperceptible.

    This is kind of wild. The caption implies that only Chinese people use electric stoves, which is hilariously wrong. The comic implies a cigarette could ignite an electric stove, which is hilariously wrong. Wtf is going on here

      People are downvoting real hard for this, but there are 3 different interpretations of this comic in this thread, so you definitely have a point.

        Thanks. Yeah, I see the point others are making while bashing me, but I genuinely didn’t understand this comic the first time I looked at it. It wasn’t super obvious at first glance
