If you can afford it go with induction over electric, much better control.

As for you specific question I don't have experience with either in the electric models but we love our Wolf appliances, the wall oven, microwave and convection steam oven. And most people on here are not very high on Viking any longer, their reputation is not what it used to be. For that reason I would go with Wolf if I was in your shoes, but again would seriously consider induction over electric.

The link I'm posting should answer your concerns.

Here is a link that might be useful: Induction Cooking website

No reason to get expensive name electric cooktops. A $500 Kenmore will do the same thing. Go with induction, and experience a real difference.

I would recommend going induction.
Gas has healh hazards as well. When electricity was new many were sure it was not safe...
In reality, you spend a very small percent of the day right on top of your cooktop.

Thank you for the information. Regarding health hazards, I am interested in the scientific literature and have found some limited genetic work in this area, mostly in vitro (living cells) or mice. It looks like there is much more research to be done. Regarding Kenmore products, I do not recommend those and will never purchase Kenmore again after 2 very negative experiences.
