The GQP Thread: I'm even sick of that ****** number and, anyway, he's gone (for now)

[St. Clown]

Your sarcasm is cute, but have you cooked on one? They’re faster(things like boiling water) and easier and more consistent than gas or electric . Ease and efficiency of cooking. And won’t cause child asthma

nowhere was I implying they don’t rely on energy to run

I’ve never used one, but I have watched a couple YouTube clips where some guys were timing various controlled events, like boiling 1L of water, all using the same kettle. Induction was faster than electric coils, which were faster than glass tops, which barely beat out gas stoves.

Idiots are tweeting only to find out from their wife that they already are on electric stoves (unless they're wealthy, apparently)

Mercedes Schlapp says she won't get rid of hers. Maybe if she cooked more on it her husband wouldn't be groping guys in hotels.

Exactly. I happpen to have cookware that will transfer well, just last time I bought a stove, induction was hard to come by.

soon. Soon.

We got induction when we moved 3 years ago. It's awesome. 10/10, would buy again.

Are they finicky about how well you center the pan On the elements?

Any downsides?

Can you use cast iron?

We're not in the market but if we can, we're going for electric or induction next

[TalonsUpPuckDown]

I have gas. That statement can be interpreted multiple ways and all would be accurate.

[walrus]

**** electric stoves. Induction is so much better than gas or electric.

as soon as I can, lll be getting induction

Induction stoves are electric stoves and its really only the cooktop thats induction

Yes you can use cast iron since iron is magnetic. Only downside is your pots and pans need to have a magnetic metal element to be heated up, so you can't use Pyrex or pure aluminum directly on the elements

Never had issue with placement on the elements.

Water boils ridiculously quickly and the elements cool off quickly, so they're pet/kid safer, too.

Yes, I’ve used them , thank you.

im not a baker so I’m mostly on cooktop and there’s a difference beteeen electric and induction on a cooktop

[walrus]

also if your current stove is gas be prepared to have a new 40-50 amp 240v circuit run to you new induction stove/cooktop

thanks.
My only concern is the glass top. I'd be so worried about scratching it or god forbid, dropping cast iron. We love using cast iron so it could be a big change. I don't think we've ever used Pyrex on the range. But we have several aluminum pans (including our beloved popcorn pan *sniff*) but I am 95% sure our MCP stainless are ok on induction.

Again, I don't think we're in the market since we have the world's most simple gas stove that should last another 15 years. Only the membrane buttons are going to fail eventually.

Yeah, that's the big catch for most.

I'd be curious if we could. I know our kitchen has three separate 20 A circuits. But I'm not sure the gauge on any of the wires. I am confident we don't have the non-standard plug that usually comes with one of those 40+ A circuits.

Are you sure? We’re a few weeks away from GOp saying they run on aborted fetuses.

there will be a bill banning anything but has introduced in a red state mark my words

[walrus]

I have a glass cook top, its all scratched to ****, it works like new though. If looks are a concern don't make popcorn on it I installed it in 04 so its been around awhile.

[aparch]

I'm pretty sure Pyrex is a hard no on a stove top, no matter the heating element.
