Induction is better in some regards, worse in others. Because it used magnets, it's hella fast - but it still cycles like an electric stovetop. However, the hob needs the cookware to heat it, which means it'll turn off the moment you take it off the heat.

I was under the impression that it cycles faster and can do fractional power instead of just fully on and off. I don't think I'd mind it turning off as long as I don't need to manually switch it back on after putting the pan down again. At some point I'll buy a decent countertop induction burner to give it a thorough try. I only wish they had knobs instead of buttons.

I think it might depend on the hob, to be fair. Mine definitely cycled.
