This is an in-person event designed for anyone considering the pros and cons of replacing a methane gas cooktop with an induction cooktop as part of a plan to “get off gas”. With many questions to be answered, there will be a panel of speakers to provide expert guidance.

Dr Kristen Pearson (Doctors for the Environment Australia) will highlight studies showing indoor gas combustion causes childhood asthma, allergies and other health conditions.

Chris Lehmann (Master Electricians Australia) is a long time electrical industry professional. He is well placed to discuss the induction technology and, importantly, the likely installation issues and costs. Householder concerns about wiring and switchboard changes are common.

Laura Boulton (Head Chef, Cassette Kensington) brings the knowledge and experience of a cooking professional. She will share her experience with preparing restaurant meals using induction cooktops. Someone who cooks for a living is an ideal source of information to resolve the ongoing debate about the merits of gas versus induction cooking.

By the end, attendees will be aware of the health benefits, knowledgeable about the likely modifications & costs and confident their cooking will be just as good.
