No I have a gas range, but talking to a few people who have an induction range and they just love it. We don't have gas out at our new place and I hate to put in a huge propane tank just for my stove. The furnace and hot water heater are all brand new so we won't be replacing them anytime soon.
Two I talked to said that the heat control far out weighs gas or standard electric stoves. I can understand this theory on electric and gas. With electric coils must cool and on gas iron grates are still very hot from the gas flame. Since induction works with magnets it only heats up the area the pan is on. So if you move your pan so only 1/4 is exposed to the cooking element you heat can be significantly controlled. Even if I move my pot now to just 1/2 of the grate, the entire grate is hot from the flame.
I would love to find someone who has one that I could experiment on.
