Honesty it is, I feel bad for anyone struggling with poor tools but once you really learn to cook, you can turn any source of heat into good cooking.
I lived for nearly a decade with a rusty old piece of shit from the 80's, loose coils that only worked when you pressed down on one side, weird temperature controls that I eventually had to override, lots of problems to overcome. Did some of the best cooking of my life on that thing.
Congratulations, I've cooked on all sorts of things too. Doesn't mean some weren't objectively better than others. I personally don't want to deal with a shitty heat source that I have to fight with to get it to work properly and is slow as shit to actually heat up.
