I have an electric one but mostly use a gas stove with govt gas.

Was thinking of switching to infrared.
Anyone with experience using this type of stove?
How is it?

Good ma ? I'm using induction type.

What the benefits of using infrared cooker?

[Cmpunk]

Induction cooktops are more efficient than infrared. An induction cooktop heats the pot magnetically, and so you have to use induction-capable cookware. Aluminum and ceramic will not work. Infrared works with any Types of cooker

Thanks but I think works on certain types of pots...the non metal pots cannot work.

Just use charcoal or fire wood.

I use infrared at home. Personally I think it's OK for simple cooking. And if you make soup with ceramic pot, infrared is the choice and not induction.

But if you fancy high flame wok hei kind of cooking, you need to stick with gas.

Just to add, if you want safety especially for kids, induction is the way. Cos other than those induction pots, anything else (even your hand) placed on it will not draw any heat. But personally I have not tried induction to know if there will be residue heat on the surface (infrared does) that can hurt badly if you remove the pot and instantly touch the panel.
