Those of you who’ve used both, what do I need to know about the difference?

    That’s a good point. I know they have crazy jet gas things for woks, but I felt like the regular hobs I’ve used have taken a little longer to boil water than on our electric. It wasn’t a big deal, I just expected the opposite when I first fired it up

      Yeah, also the efficiency of electric just heating the surface that the pot is directly sitting on probably helps transfer the heat to the pot faster even if it isn’t actually getting hotter than gas.

      I’m quite happy with my electric I think the only thing that would be better is if I had an induction burner for when I want it really hot really quick.

      Ymmv, my impression was always that gas is much faster to boil water or cook almost anything, than electric resistive burners.
