Clean the bottom of your pan and the coil, you nasty bugger. The only thing that stops heat from getting to the pan is insulation, aka all that stuck on grease and muck you constantly fail to actually get off the pan when you fail to actually get it clean. Did you know there’s no reason your pans can’t be shiny for decades after you get them, except your own lazy habits?
Elitist and I’m arguing against the flamboyant and expensive option that only exists to enrich the wealthy?
That rule breaking part of your comment aside, and since we’re on a science adjacent page;
Thermal inertia isn’t a bad thing, and most chefs utilize it during cooking explicitly. No chef, on earth, in any professional kitchen, leaves a pan on a burner and just turns off the burner. None of them. If you need heat to stop building, you remove the food from the pan. If you just need the inertia from the pan’s material, you move it to a dead burner. All stoves have thermal inertia. Even gas stoves. No stove on earth stops transferring heat immediately. That’s not how thermodynamics works.
Gas ‘appears’ to change temperature faster because the range of heat is higher, since it is so much less efficient. The typical gas stove can output 1300c at it’s max (usually largest burner on a four burner stove). An electric, properly working, should never get above 900c. No food on earth is edible for any known lifeform once it has reached 300c, even when cooled down after. So yes, you can make a pan hotter faster by subjecting it to nearly enough heat to melt iron, but you won’t be cooling it down realistically any faster if you go up to that point.
This paired with the lower amount of control over temperature for nearly all gas stoves results in less efficiency every where. Actual chefs use predictable heat. Anyone pretending gas is better in anyway is the same type of person that still believes they can switch gears faster in a manual car or that its cheaper to just take your shoes down to a cobbler to get new soles.

1223·7 days ago…The element ‘clicks off’ when the element is at (or usually around 105%) of the temperature set for that number. It ‘clicks on’ when it is below or (or within 5%) of that temperature. This actually provides MORE accurate and even heating than gas stoves, which can be effected by room temperature, slight breezes, variations in pressure in the line, or mismatched regulators.
The heat is never off during cooking, it just isn’t applying more temperature to the coil. Which means your pan and food aren’t pulling enough heat to cool down the coil.
It’s easier to cook with electric when you know what you’re actually doing, and what the stove is supposed to be doing. It’s easier to cook with gas when you have no idea what anything is supposed to be doing and you just fiddle with the knobs until you brute force the heat you think you need.
If this were 'murica, just 2 two bedoom apartments. But it’d have to be uniformly distributed.

158·7 days agoElectric heating is 100% efficient in general, as in 100% of the energy used is converted to thermal energy. No other heating method can claim this period (except geothermal and other heat pumps which can be several thousand percent effective but are impractical for spot heating.)
So the real difference is induction versus resistive coil efficiency at transferring that energy to the food…
Luckily a ridiculous amount of research has been done to show:
Gas is about 40% efficient
Electric coil is about 74% efficient.
Induction is 80-90% efficient.
So not only are you using more efficient methods of creating heat than combustion, you are getting more heat transferred to your food per unit of energy used. By double.
Gas stoves are great for two things, and only two things:
Jet-Gas stoves for Woks.
And Charring vegetables when you’re too lazy to start a grill.

1·9 days agoIf it were about ‘basic rules of sanitation,’ then there wouldn’t be regulations against installing your own electric and water when entirely off grid.
Regulations should not be: 'You need to hook into this sewer line, and also you need to build your house exactly like this in order to qualify to hook into the sewer line. You decide against stick framing? Congrats we won’t approve your building which would be safe otherwise because our local code enforcement isn’t actually an engineer and can’t read architect and engineer approved blueprints because they look different than the corpo slop that has been rubber stamp approved for the last decade. Just want your own septic and not hook into sewer at all? Fuck you. Hire our state-approved service to do it (and pay 30,000% more than it costs to do the job) or you won’t get approved. Want to do anything interesting or long lasting? Fuck you. The state-approved builders we’re going to make you use can’t do that. ’
Those rules are to perpetuate capitalism (and because nepotism flourishes at low levels of government.) Not to promote safety or sanitation, especially in the middle of nowhere. Most Regulations should be applied on sale or transfer. Not during building or living on the property. Because for 99.999999999999% of human history in pretty much every place that’s how that’s worked. You bring it up to standard when selling or transferring, because who cares if YOU die, it’s only a problem when it starts to affect others.

Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•The Rise of the High-Range, Less Expensive E.V. | Even as the electric vehicle market has slumped, there are more long-range E.V.s under $40,000 than ever before.
41·10 days agoIt’s ‘expensive’ in the same way replacing any part is expensive. Most VCU’s come in at less than 1% the purchase price of the car. Compare that to any major part of a ICE vehicle and you’d be saving money.
Plus the majority of the expected repair and maintenance cost from EVs are tires every 30k km, brakes every 30k km or so, and a battery every 300k km. While suspension will run out eventually these parts are generally swappable with most producers, BYD uses the same suspension and steering parts as 70% of EV producers.
Also Europe wouldn’t have massive shortages if they didn’t, you know, sanction and heavily tariff Chinese EV parts to protect domestic ICE production while refusing to build factories for EV vehicles at any useful rate. Norway doesn’t have issues with their Chinese EVs, and they get close to 70% of the range due to the cold.

8·10 days agoDepends on the producer really. Pretty much all the Chinese (and imitations of the Chinese) EVs have cheap parts always available. It is of course proprietary software and firmware though, but generally that’s just a ‘replace the whole VCU’ situation if anything there fucks up.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why are people speculating that the most recent Trump assassination attempt was fake?
310·10 days agoThere is no objective truth. If you learn nothing else about life, learn that.
There is what you believe the evidence points to being the most likely sequence of events. That’s it.
Is it likely that Trump was the trigger to end a 40 year streak of presidents not having assassination attempts? Really? You don’t think every Snaggletooth with a gun in BFE Alabama actively planned to shoot Obama and would have at least made the news in an attempt? Is it really likely that the single most expense set of secret police in world history – a group of organizations with NO PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY and a history of human rights abuses worse than any other group in known world history, have failed multiple times to stop random kids with guns that magically fire the wrong caliber bullets?
No. It’s not likely Americans magically grew a spine for Trump, who is just the average American President without an tact or competency for secrecy.
What is likely is the WWE Superstar, whose only goal in life has been to be in Hollywood, has a stage director and keeps trying to garner sympathy with these fake attempts.
