It’s not an argument I’ve seen in this conversation yet, but I’ll also head this off: gas ranges are not the best cooktop for ultimate temperature control either. If you cook sugar or temper chocolate a lot, a standalone induction cooktop like the Breville Control Freak will do a way better job, and you don’t need to change your permanent kitchen appliances to make that work. Combine that with an induction kettle like others have mentioned, and the broiler for peppers (I do this weekly having moved somewhere that doesn’t have gas) and there is literally no reason to choose gas in the kitchen.

at $1,499.95 for a single burner it better damn well.
It’s for sure a professional tool, but nobody else really needs those features anyway.
