Dozens of public housing apartments will get plug-in induction ranges as part of the initiative, which aims to eventually shift 10,000 NYCHA homes off the use of polluting fossil fuel appliances.
Also some newer ones have temp sensors so you can keep a thing at the exact temp you need.
I swear by induction cooking (for both soapmaking and food) for this reason - precise temperature control, even low temperatures that aren’t even possible to get on a gas stove.
Setting the heater to exactly 40C means you can melt chocolate reliably, without the hassle of a bain marie
At 60C you can combine cetostearyl alcohol and vegetable oil for moisturizer without boiling off your glycerine
At 80C you can cook soap to trace without overcooking it and making it lumpy
At 100C you can evaporate moisture and reduce a sauce with minimal effect on other ingredients
At 100-160C you can cook a sugar syrup to a precisely desired level of concentration (as the boiling point goes up as the concentration increases) for making different types of candy
