one month passes...

I finally bought an ikea plug in induction single ring cooktop to test out induction cookery. The co-build housing I’m involved in is considering being all electric. I’m actually impressed so far. Gets hot quick and it’s easy to vary temperature.

Would definite recommend for the 50 bucks it cost me.

Need to work out what I’m going to do about the wok thing.

you can get a wok stand specifically for induction (search 'infinite wok').

any flat-bottomed carbon steel wok should be fine on induction

three years pass...

so i just moved into a new flat which is grebt in many ways but the cooker is smaller than my older one and also it's an induction hob

which i don't mind tbh (i've always used gas but i also have asthma) except i can no longer use half my trustiest pans apparently

You can get a flat metal piece to put between your nonmagnetic pans and the cooktop. The flat metal gets hot which in turns heats the pan. Inefficient but works.

I'm set on getting rid of the electric 4 burner stove/oven in our kitchen and replacing it with 2 induction burners and a countertop convection oven. Will put everything on an IKEA kitchen island thing. We haven't used the stove in over a year - we've got a bamboo cover on it that a single induction burner sits on. The Anova oven I got a year ago and use constantly is at the other end of the kitchen currently.

ok so the scrambled egg i am making via induction is actually i think better than it ever was before (i am using the helldude-approved splash-of-water-toward-the-end recipe, to make it superfluffy) (water! not! milk!)

but i have apparently lost the ability to fry bacon w/o extensive charring :(
