The home appliance industry would like you to believe that gas-burning stoves are not a risk to your health – and several companies that make the devices are scrambling to erase their prior acknowledgements that they are.

    I’m curious how cast iron pans work with induction. I feel like I’d be constantly afraid of scratching/breaking the glass on top.

      Cooks great. I just started so don’t have scratches yet but I’m sure they’re coming.

      Someone online recommended parchment paper Nader the pan to keep it from scratching, but that seems like a pain

      But now I’m worried just as much about my few remaining non-stick pans I just tried one for the first time on my new induction stove and it wouldn’t stay 8n place. Between the lightweight aluminum and the smooth glass stove top, every time I tried to flip an egg the pan moved

      It’s not really an issue if you are somewhat careful. Don’t slam the pan onto the glass, don’t scratch it across and don’t instant-heat the pan on full power (it can damage the pan).

      If you want to be extra careful you can even put a thin piece of heat-proof fabric between the induction stove and the pan. Since induction heats the pan and not the stove top, that won’t hurt the heat transmission.
