Just wanted to finish off this thread with a thank you to all who participated, and let you know that thanks to all your input, I did further research and made a choice.
I started this thread opposed to induction but after reading comments here, decided to do more investigation. Turns out, there are ways to overcome my objections:
-
Scratches can be minimized by using Silpat or parchment paper when you cook. I’ve also decided that the advantages outweigh the drawbacks. So what if my cooktop is a little scratched? It’s a sign that it’s well used.
-
About half my cookware passes the magnet test, and based on what @Tride and the internet say, I’m willing to give it a go with the rest. It turns out you can purchase induction converter discs that are intended to help you use your existing cookware with induction. I’ll give those a try before I replace any existing cookware. At worst, I’ll gradually upgrade my pots and pans.
The models I have available to me are a bit limited (perils of living in paradise) but there are a couple of Fridgidaire models that meet almost all of my preferences. I can’t get the dual oven feature that @Digital_is_the_new_Analog mentioned, and I have to settle for a touch control panel (according to what I have read, some people prefer knobs because they work even when your fingers are greasy, something that might happen if you’re zestfully cooking - I think I’m the knob-preferring type).
But overall, I’m excited about my options. Next step: make sure the solar panels we are installing will support another 50w/220v appliance. And find out how much of a pain it is going to be to de-activate the gas piping. I think these are manageable issues.
New range, here I come! Thanks again, everybody.
