Electric heating is 100% efficient in general, as in 100% of the energy used is converted to thermal energy.
Yeah, I was careful to specify transferring heat to the pan.
Luckily a ridiculous amount of research has been done to show:
Ok I am convinced now 😆. I’m easy to convince if you have data. I am surprised though, I have used all three and induction is by far the quickest to heat. I can boil a giant pot of water in a few minutes, so I am a bit surprised that the difference between electric and induction is not that big.
I guess gas is fast to heat because it stores a ridiculous amount of energy so it can waste plenty and still be quick.
Electric is the max temp of you power system so for 120v it’s like 500°c and gas burns at like 1300°C you just need a lot more power in gas than in electricity
I mean tin can be melted over a candle if it’s made from beeswachs
But yeah 240 volts is absolutely enough to melt iron and copper that’s one reason why you have a breaker with an amperage corresponding to the wire in your wall

Damn, I have a 240v induction stove, can I melt metal? 😆
I tried searching this question but apparently there are safety features to prevent me doing cool stuff.
