Amatures. The future belongs to
induction cooktops.
Energy output equivalent to 35,000+ BTUs on some models, and you can set you hand on the range right next to the pan. Also allows infinite control on the low end, so much so that a double boiler is unnecessary.
Does require steel or iron pans, though.
