What is the Best Type of Cooker for Your Kitchen?

Hello everyone!
I am thinking of getting a new cooker for my kitchen and thought I would  discuss it here. Some cookers are traditional and durable, some are modern and electric with multiple functions, and some are induction-compatible, which are energy-efficient and safe. I am confused whether fast and modern features are more important or if a traditional and reliable option is better. Based on your experience, which type would you recommend and why?

Hi,
Welcome to Permies!

When you say cooker, I'm guessing that is what we would call a stove or a stove/oven combo. For the stove, I prefer simple. I would always want a propane (or natural gas) stove top. Most can be lit even if you lose electricity, and once you shut it off... the heat goes away much faster than electric. And you don't have to make sure you have the right kind of pot like an induction stove.

I will say that those glass top stoves sure are easy to clean though.
