/ck/ - Food & Cooking

As of 2018 the UL has set a new requirment that all electric coin burners be fitted with thermal limiters which prevent coils from evenly heating. Only half of any burner can get to red hot.

This means that the element is incapable of boiling water without a lid, and makes it very difficult to sear anything. Stir fry is also very difficult.

If you dont use a heavy bottom pot, it also causes everything to cook unevenly between the inner and outer ring.

I fucking hate this change. I live in an apartment with one of these. It takes 25 minutes to boil water

Fuck you California
