I don't know of any heat pumps being used for burners, it would work but expensive initial cost for that application. Especially compared to how well induction works, and insulation on the oven increases that efficiency. Maybe for commercial kitchens, I imagine heat pump deep fryers exist?

Or someone should invent all those (and give me a small percentage of the total income from the idea)

Oh you wouldn’t for a stove, it was just the shortest answer I could give that proves his statement as incorrect. The more complicated answer, but more relevant to his incorrect statement is that resistive heating is 100% efficient if you include electromagnetic outputs (such as infrared and visible light) as “heat”.

There aren't any. It would take way too long. There are heat pump dryers though. Those are cool.
