@ohlj there is a learning curve, yes, but it's not insurmountable in my experience.

My hottest take on Twitter was that if you can't figure out how to handle that thermal inertia, perhaps you're not that good of a cook.

@TechConnectify @ohlj it's not a matter of not being able to handle the thermal inertia, IMO, it's that I have to add yet another thing to my list of things that I can't avoid thinking about. The cognitive overhead is worse to me than the cost of the extra BTUs.

@emschwar @ohlj I only somewhat sympathize with this. I get the sentiment, but to me it feels like a thing that eventually becomes pretty automatic. It did for me the number of times I lived with an electric stove, but then again, I'm also not that adventurous in the kitchen.

I did just nail cooking rice on my first try, though, so some of those memories are still there.

@TechConnectify I'm sure I could get used to it, I just have enough other drains on my time at the moment that to me, it's not worth the investment of money, time, or energy (mine) required. I suppose my real point here is just that the actual effort required to do a thing, is often the least, or one of the least, important aspects of it.
