I've a freestanding gas cooker and noticed that when I'm cooking that the Aranet CO2 detector goes into a very high range (2000+). Even with the window open, and extractor fan on, it goes over 1000.
So I was quite shocked, especially as it takes a long time to reduce when I open the window, which I'm disinclined to do on these cold days. And so wondered about changing to an induction cooker. The freestanding ones all seem quite expensive.
But also I was wondering if anyone had done this, and is it much different to cooking on gas? I know about pans, but most of mine will work on induction. The other half is keen on using a wok - can this be used on an induction? Is it as fast and as responsive as gas in changing the temperature under the pot?
Is it difficult to get the mains gas disconnected and replace with electric?
And any recommendations as to make? I'd prefer the cheaper end!
