And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Having been a cookware buyer for several different department stores in a pas life, I can tell you that induction cooking is pretty amazing...but you have to have magnetic capable cookware. Cast iron or (cheap) high carbon steel. You cannot use aluminum or high-end stainless-steel cookware.
I believe they now sell "converter discs" - cast iron plates that you can set an aluminum or 300 series SS pan or pot on. I might have to buy this when my next pension cheque comes in, one day my omelette is perfect and the next it's burnt. Al_in_Ottawa
For a portable cooktop that is temperature precise and has a built in timer, I would recommend the Spt Micro-Computer Radiant Cooktop. It can be used with any type of cookware. Safer in my opinion too, than an electromagnet inducing a current in the cookware. Mine is six years old and is used very frequently with no problems. https://tinyurl.com/4pkjjm97
I thought what a flat waffle iron until I read the title - I felt dumb.
Thanks for tip on cooking implement material. Never cooked on one of these flat top burners before, our old 1995 Sears stove is still heating away despite nearly 30 years of constant use.
I have one. Perfect for my cast iron, ( I try to give the missus two to three days a week break from the cooking grind), and it is easy to set up by my grill.
I have no experience with any other, but this one works pretty good. Even an amateur like me can achieve fairly decent results with no trouble.
Yeah, we've taken a single coil burner on vacation with us for years, allowing us to heat simple meals inside a hotel room. Very convenient for snacks - oatmeal and similar dishes.
Had one like that. Mrs. liked it so well we bought an induction top stove. I have used a silicon mat to protect the glass from cast iron, it can get hot enough to melt the silicon. Mostly we use paper towels as most things are cooked at medium to low heat., Such as eggs, or veggies. High heat cooking gets done under the broiler or outside on a grill. Also, the newest pan is one of the HexClad variety. We like it a great deal - but it is only about a year old. A bit older is a Waxonware, which we also like.

I recommend the NuWave Gold, larger cooking surface, higher overall temperatures. Which matters when you're frying.
ReplyDeleteI've used one or two for over 10 years on a daily basis. I rarely use my stovetop anymore.
Bonus, the cooking pans that come with it (or you can purchase separately) are pretty darned good
Most of them will last 4-5 years of really heavy use, by the way.
