LOL my induction stove has 3 settings, simmer, cook and surface of the sun.

Seriously, what are 5-10 even for?

Already a major benefit, which is air quality. CO2 in the kitchen at 800, which is about what it would be with as many people/animals inside without windows open. Previously, cookies baked would push the CO2 levels on that sensor to 2500 (!!). #inductioncooking #electrification #climate

When LPG ran short, my electric kitchen kept cooking

It feels so weird to have to watch videos to learn how to fry an egg. But my first attempt with the new induction hob didn't work so well. lol.

Our electric stove is on the fritz and I've gone down the induction rabbit hole. Hoping to get some insight/experiences from any #homecook out there on induction cooktops.

The thing people never mention when telling how good induction cooktops vs gas is that without the gas heat wrapping around the sides of the pot you wind up with much easier clean-up! You just don't get that stuck/burned line halfway up the pot.
Game-changer!

Did you know that you can request a loaner induction cooktop for a two-week trial period through PG&E? Joyce Mercado explores the switch from gas to induction cooking at home. https://alamedapost.com/features/alameda-life/wonders-induction-cooking/

Berkeley — Fun field trip to Copper to see the Charlie stove in action! #inductioncooking #electrification #cooking

@dimsumthinking

Haha! 😊

Yes. Given all the other appliances I have now I confess I don’t use it that much, but it is nevertheless a joy — and just beautiful engineering

Not all 'induction compatible' cookware is created equal. I was cooking yesterday and it was taking hours. Then, because the sauté pan was overflowing, I switched the food to a stainless saucepan. Boy, it was like hitting the "rocket" button.

This 28cm #lidl 'induction compatible' pan is going for recycling. It's mostly aluminium with a little iron. Not good.

I ordered a Lacor stainless-aluminum-stainless construction replacement which I know are good.

Made one of my control dishes on the new cooktop tonight! It turned out great in a bit less time than usual, plus the air quality meter's sitting at 4ppm instead of 200-500ppm. #Food #InductionCooking

Update from https://www.impulselabs.com — they seem set to deliver the first of their battery-integrated induction cooktops in January/February 2025.

Not cheap, but significant rebates available, and what looks like an outstanding product shepherding in the kitchen of the future.

Using a battery allows peak output of 10kW even when connected to a 110v outlet. (This exceeds the output from even most commercial restaurant gas burners.)

@GreenFire

A further observations on portable burners:

Experience suggests that you do get what you pay for in this segment. Paying an extra $20 gets you a unit with better controls and heating surface.

Nuwave is another great brand. And further to posts a short time ago (https://mastodon.social/@mmalc/112944691244652151), the wok really is stellar.

@ai6yr and co: Looking at induction cooktops. NYT and Food & Wine like this one: Duxtop 9600LS. Any experience, advice?

Mission Statement
[but don't hold me to that]

After the devastating Dutch elections [22-11-'23] I decided to dedicate my toots back to the original goal.
I care about a lot of issues, most global some national; but I won't be 'tooting' about them all.

First and formost I WANT to 'toot' about:
* #ClimateSolutions
Because I trust that most people reading know about the dreadfull future of climate change, I want to spread the, possible, solutions to a problem rather than reiterate on the problem.
* #ClimateJustice
One of those solution might be sueing the polluters or governments on human rights, violations or #Ecoside
* #ClimateAction
Action is by all means a solution.
* #ClimateEmergency
* #Climate

As said I want to focus on the global issue. I don't want to nitpick on too much principles. Like: "What's worse: eating cows or driving diesel?" Both are devastating behaviors of intitled rich people!
On the otherhand therefore I truly respect ANY effort to make a change for the better.

Most of all... I want to add instead of preach. Bring some bits of the puzzle to the table.

I'm NOT a scientist of any kind. I'm just a disabled old white guy typing on a desk reading and searching a lot.

I tend to toot 2 - 3 times a day, but that's NOT a promise.
I tend to follow anyone who 'retoots' or 'favourites' my toots. Forget it, I'm vain.

If any of my 'followers' want to opt out... this is your chance, as always.

It might very well be that one was not interested in my
rather
long read about my personal appliances
(could be considered boring)
maybe a video will convince people to switch.

Beware: This is a long read and may not be interesting !

I'm a 64 yo male and living alone.
I want to tell the world about my cooking arrangements.
* Because last summer I made some significant changes;
* because I deeply care about the planet;
* because of a certain maniac in the East (Ru) who drove up the energy prices;
and because I'm truly satisfied with them.

First I have to mention my diet. It's medical and very important.
I can't eat gluten, i get really sick when I do. Not a craze or hype just health in the hospital kind of way. Therefore I eat only warm, self prepared meals.

I got used to cooking once a week, large meals, freezing that in small portions, defrosting them in the fridge and microwave small portions to eat. Might seem cumbersome but I like it.
This is not how most people do.

Now about those changes.
I had a gas stove, an old fridge and a not so old freezer.
I had a limited amount of money.
And I wanted to use #InductionCooking. (Health, Energy prices and Emissions)
My reasoning was that going electric in general causes less emission then burning dinosaurs privately.

I was a bit apprehensive about the costs, would I need a bigger power extension etc.?
I had someone calculate a bit and it turned out to be lucrative not both ways but four.
It turned out that,
if I got rid of the guzzling 🥵 old fridge and the freezer, I could easily allow for a two phase (220V), two pit induction stove.
So I bought a state of the art fridge-freeze combination (650 ϵ)
and a two pit 220v induction plate (140 ϵ ).
I also had to buy new pots and pans (135 ϵ)
Then I made the furniture myself out of second hand wood.

I decided I had some money to spare so I also
bought 2 Infra Red Panels to support my gas powered central heating.
(150 W at 90,00 ϵ and 600 W at 210,00 ϵ )

After 1 year it's time for a review:
I'M VERY HAPPY, A LOT EASIER, CHEAPER AND A LOT CLEANER
(Side effect: the air in the house is a lot cleaner with induction cooking)
Cooking is far easier (and safer) once you get used to it and I got a lot more room in my fridge/freezer than I was used to.

OK my electricity bill has gone up by 15% but my gas bill has gone down by 25%. Since in my area gas is about twice as expensive as electricity, in the end it's a lot cheaper.
I'm still dependent on natural gas for my hot water and central heating. But I started to use the electric kettle more so it's mainly my shower heating.

I support a ban on #GasStoves in the same I would have supported a ban on leaded gasoline. Sometimes the "old way" just simply isn't safe or scientifically sound -- no matter how much you like it.

Gas stoves disproportionately hurt children, women, and people of color. The US government was designed to promote general the welfare, and banning gas stoves should be part of that.

from @drvolts #Volts podcast: Building #EmbeddedBatteries into #appliances (stoves, water heaters, heat pumps, etc) reduces expense of rewiring homes w/ higher amperage outlets to replace natural gas fueled appliances. Setting up storage options from appliance factories is a real efficiency booster.

His podcast + substack content are very subscription worthy.
