Exactly this.  I don't need a range anymore.  I need the versatile counter space where the range is and under the vent fan.  I can pull out an induction hob(s), or an IP, or a SV device and do the cooking and then (theoretically) put them away.    My cheapo Oster ovens live on the patio on a rolling cart where I do the baking.

 

One of the most common IP damages comes from people using the range top as the place for their IP cooking (I assume in very small kitchens) and then accidentally turning on a burner and melting the base of the IP.    I believe the stand alone range will be fading into history for kitchen designs of the future.
