Redpill me on Induction. I am trying to find a new place to move in with the gf, but half the places have Incucktion stove tops. I havent used them much. I don’t like the idea of changing, but, I do know induction will be a cleaner and possibly faster method of cooking.I do have a full set of All Clad copper core cookware that should work well, the only thing I’ll have to replace is my aluminum moka pot. I don’t use a wok or anything brown like thatWhich of you here have made the move to induction, how was the learning curve, how have you adjusted? Which do you prefer? It sounds like tilting and basting is difficult with induction but as a finishing technique is the residual heat in the pan really not enough to accomplish this? Or are people bitching about nothing?
It's really not very different. You're worrying about it way more than it deserves if it's factoring in to your rental choices.>is the residual heat in the pan really not enough to accomplish this?Of course it is
>>21602831This is how im feeling about it. I think the basting concern is nonsensical, so just relaying that info.
>>21602821kill your "girlfriend" and then kill yourself
The buzzing is too annoying.
I have 2 induction standalone burners they are great if i need a 5th one or im cooking with sugar or eggs to have a consistent ideal tempI don't think id ever get a full on induction stove because cost and i prefer gas
>>21602821The main problem with induction is that it basically will kill all of your cookware in <5 years via warping because induction fields are typically incredibly tiny and heat up your pans VERY unevenly. So if you have any expensive cookware it will cost you a lot in the future. Otherwise its main benefit is that its easy to clean and somewhat cheap.
>>21603017Lol
>>21603017retard
>>21603017Weird how ive never heard that before anywhere
>>21602821induction is fine. I moved from a place with a gas stove to induction, and thought it would be a tough adjustment, but it wasn't really. I would rate it slightly below gas, but well above electric and coil. you do kind of have to get used to not moving your pan around so much and taking it off the heat, but honestly, you'll realize that a lot of that movement was unnecessary in the first place.
>>21602821You can get a induction plate adapter, in fact, Bialetti sells one under their own brandingEx. https://www.surlatable.com/product/bialetti-stainless-steel-stovetop-induction-plate/8227712
>>21602821I got an induction cooktop and it's been great.To be fair what I had before was the worst shit I've ever had the displeasure of cooking with (electric with thick cast iron plate elements, not sure what the proper term is). I got one with knobs and I urge you to do the same, the touch screen control ones are absolutely infuriating to work with
>>21602821I dont have induction, but >>21603482 sounds like a good ideaive also heard that thick bottom pans are a bit better cause less buzzing transformer noise
>>21603589>are absolutely infuriating to work withwhenever I boil a pot of water for pasta, if some spits out it always lands on the off button :(
>>21603659I feel like engineers and designers should've realized this would be a problem but perhaps I expect too much from people
>>21603482Ah nice thanks for the heads up
>>21603774I assume the touch interface is cheaper and less moving/breakable parts than buttons. the tradeoff being they're the least ergonomic thing humanity has ever invented.it's the same in car interiors.
>>21602821I use an Ikea portable induction that's 2000w apparently (my rental only has the awful old electric and I tried it once and it had that typical burning smell, I hate using them so I disconnected it from the fuse and use it as bench space). It works well. It's only real issue is that the settings are basically:1 - barely capable of keeping water hot, I wouldn't even call this 'low'2 - medium3 - high4 to 9 - unusable for anything except getting water to start boiling. if you have anything like a stew or curry it'll burn the shit out of anything that's on the bottom of the pan. I also had to replace one frypan which didn't work with it.
>>21603846>2000w lol
>>21603850? It's what it says in the manual as the level 9 power, and our powerpoints are capable of more than that.
>>21603854don't drop out of school
