The only gas appliance left in my house is the stove, but I don’t want to replace it because I hate resistive electric stoves and don’t trust induction ones.
If I could test drive the stove before dropping a couple grand on it that would be great, but I haven’t found a way to do that.
I dipped my toes into induction with a single burner that plugs into the wall. Just be sure to get a large enough one, just assume that the circle they draw on the plate lies by about 2 inches (i.e. the heating element is smaller than the lie they print on the box). I will never go back, thermostat-controlled induction is by far the most superior way to cook. Just set the target temp and you never have to fiddle with knobs no matter how many ingredients you add/remove while cooking.
You must have gotten a better hot plate than I did. Mine doesn’t maintain temperature and burns things consistently due to very slow pulse width modulation.

But it’s great for searing and boiling things.
