to get an induction cooktop?

>>19937729
How do they work?

>>19937729
induce deez nuts bithc

>>19937815
Induction. They only work with aluminum and glass pans

Still expensive if you want a large burner.
So many cooktops with a 12-14" burner but the actual element under glass is only 9-10"

>>19938156
>cereal bowl

>>19938156
So now you have a giant concave in your counter top that can only be used for a specific bowl made to the exact dimensions of the burner because of the nature of convection cooking.
It's neat, but it's shit unless you cook with a wok every day.

Gas stovetops are basically as bad as smoking for public health but haven't come into the spotlight the same way thanks to lobbying

>>19938824
Cuck

>>19938824
what a faggotty gaylord lol

Love the technology behind these things. Feels like actual magic. However the one I own has very rudimentary temperature control, basically it switches on and off on preset intervals depending on the heat level set. I still prefer my gas stove.

It's based on eddy currents. The induction cooktop has an electromagnet that rapidly switches polarity (north and south poles) during operation. This causes electrons in the metal of the pan to start swirling forming an "eddy" current that heats it up due to its resistance. This is why it only works with utensils made of ferromagnetic materials (anything that can attract a magnet). It's also why they don't shock you since the current is self contained within the material.

>>19938939
Hey, how did you know where I work?

>>19937729
Here in the favelas the powergrid is not good enough to handle it. I've heard in the first world there is not a problem and everybody who is not homeless has one. Is this true?

>>19939716
yes, even my dog has one!

Unfortunately my new kitchen has one, before I had an electric (heat) cook top. I have used induction top elsewhere and while the actual cooktop does not heat up, the pans do and then in turn heat up the cook top, so any liquid or food will still get burned and stain the cook top, also the pan has to aligned exactly in the middle otherwise it does not work, regulating heat is also quite retarded

>>19938121
the coils in the induction stove create a magnetic field that changes in magnitude very quickly (thousands of times per second). the changing magnetic field induces loops of electric current on the pan, which is then converted to heat. it's the same principle as a generator, but in the generator the changing magnetic fields come from rotating magnets instead of from an electromagnet.

>>19939716
Or just cook with fire. Since you're poor n shit. And literally live in a jungle.

>>19939772
Literally better than induction cook tops

Isn’t that just an inferior version of this?

that's some kayak lingo i picked up rafting the athabasca river. the fuck is it doing on my cooktop?

Steel and iron pans have river of electrons. The heat of the river cooks the food.

I bet I could take you. Do you even BJJ?

>>19940106

>>19940143
>10 heat is not enough
what model

>>19940143
mine doesn't brown stuff at 6 and burns stuff at 7.

What does this thing do better than gas or other forms of electric stoves?

>>19940174
Nothing. It is literally the worst kind of cook top one can get.

>>19939716
>the powergrid is not good enough to handle it
Induction tops are far more efficient than normal electric stoves that work with coils of metal being heated until red-hot. Induction tops ought to put far LESS strain on the power grid for that reason.

i really want one for my stovetop kettle but im scared it will give me super cancer or that the iron in my blood will make my blood boil if i put my hand near it

>>19940153
Electrolux, it's entire unit with oven. Oven is great, but induction part pisses me off.
Heat goes from 1 to 14 and then there is P heat. P is highest heat, boils pot of water super quickly.
>>19940164
I should read manual one day. At this point I'm not sure if it's induction or problem lies in my head.

>>19940143
>>19940164
I have a similar shitty model. There's no workaround. I use mine in tandem with the gas stove. Use the induction for longer boiling or pressure cooking and then switch to the gas when I need finer control over the heat.

>>19940106
>Steel and iron pans have river of electrons
Now it feels like you are pulling my leg.

>>19940289
Your leg might be made of iron.

any recommendations for good portable induction cooktops?

>>19940315
Don’t buy one

>>19940322
why
i want one for heating water only

>>19940334
Why limit yourself?

>>19937729
I hate them

>>19940322
Is correct.
>>19940334
The only situation where portable induction is superior is in regions where wildfires are an issue. Everywhere else it's a disadvantage because you need electricity, correct plugs/voltage, induction is fragile, prone to dirt damage and requires specific types of pans to make it work. It's an ok choice if you go fishing for a day or 2, 10 km from home. It won't serve you anywhere else (not even at your local beach or mountain hike) and that's where you'll be going eventually.

>>19940315
Try the IKEA Tillreda. It is the nly one that has a low enough setting (100W) for actually simmering stuff. All others have 300W or 400W for their lowest settings which is way too much, even for a large pot of potatoes.

>>19937729
Induction is the worst. It is also toxic to your healt. Would avoid at all costs.

>>19937913
induction.. like into the hall of flame?

>>19940627
no the hall of cost

>>19940633
sure, an induction stove top would be expensive... but $6,000,000?

>>19940198
please answer me i really want one but i dont want to have to amputate my hands because they came too close ;__;

I will never fucking understand ceramic hob niggers and induction retards. Everytime i go to my cousin's house i want to burn the fucking kitchen down because of all the "smart" devices and cancer shit like that.

>>19940842
Absolutely nothing will happen if your hands come close to the induction coil. My brother is an electrical engineer who specializes in high energy radiation stuff (he singlehandedly built all the electronics like amplifiers, filters and stuff for the main radar of the Vienna airport) and he says the only kind of radiation in everyday life that you have to worry about is from the sparks from the overhead power lines of electric trains.

>>19940874
Hehe they create mustard gas (and xrays)

>>19940868
This is just as good. You can tell how hot it is by how bright the coil glows

>>19940868

>>19940897

>>19940901
Always light the match before you turn on the gas, also kitchen has a door to a balcony so i'm immortal.
>mate

>>19937729
Sorry man. No real chef has a ceramic stove at home

>>19941529
obviously "as bad as smoking" is retarded, but they do generate massive amounts of CO2. don't use a gas stove without ventilation.

>>19937913
Not true, it works with my dutch oven as well as a lot of my metal pans. It's honestly a complete crapshoot though, you'll never know if that specific pot or pan will work with it until you put it on the surface, turn it on, and see if it wants to start. If it doesn't, that means it doesn't work with that.

>>19942349
induction works best with iron. it's pretty much the only material it works with. i can understand that you could think that aluminum might work, but glass? are you fucking retarded?

>>19942364
Does it work with ceramics?

>>19938156
would eat cereal out of/10

>>19942872
induction doesn't heat ceramic materials, but ceramic pans are usually aluminum with a coating of ceramic. in some cases they have a layer of steel for compatibility with induction. if a pan is compatible with induction, the manufacturer will say so, and if they don't say anything you can assume that it isn't.

>>19944628
>>19944653
why, why would i ever put that in my kichen when i can just use >>19940868

>>19946016
several reasons:
- heats faster
- more powerful
- all of the heat goes the pan, so the kitchen doesn't turn into an oven
- doesn't fill your air with CO2 which lowers your IQ by 10 points
- much easier to clean

induction is obviously the better choice. if you think otherwise maybe you are suffering from CO2 poisoning due to your gas stove, buy a detector.

>>19937729
If you only cook on medium high on non stick they are great. If you actually want reliable temperature control and want to cook on medium low using stainless or cast iron: they are dogshit.

Basically it's a boomer trope for shit cooks--they also don't heat evenly and destroy pans.

>>19937815
very, very badly and inconsistently.

>>19943222
with heat or gas when you add an ingredient to the pan the pan has the residual heat from the electric coil or the literal heat bubble from the flame--on induction only the pan gets hot so it has a significantly higher drop in heat when adding ingredants... induction also doesn't heat a pan evenly. Induction is dogshit loved by Teflon eating morons.

>>19940020
correct
electric coil is better in every way.

I cook with fire as God intended

>>19940153
they all do this retard
temp control on induction is garbage. Two different pans on the same setting, on the same burner, will heat to different temperatures.
I bought a portable gas burner to use at my parents house when I cook at their place--my retarded boomer parents only cook on high on non stick and have always been shit cooks.

>>19940174
>what does it do better
It destroys pans with uneven heat exponentially faster.
