Jeanine enjoys cooking over fire. The fact that our last home was one of only two in the entire neighborhood that was connected to natural gas was a big selling feature. Our new house is not and cooking over fire and will require the addition of a propane tank on the outside of the house. I have been encouraging her to consider an induction cooktop which offers many advantages if not familiarity. Today, she agreed to give one a test drive in our current kitchen which launched me on a research and shopping project. Although I found a couple of very nice units, lead times are running 6-8 weeks.
