Cooking on gas is the one environmentally damaging thing I don’t want to give up, I’ll admit…
Cooking on gas is the one environmentally damaging thing I don’t want to give up, I’ll admit…
Can anyone recommend what to look for in an induction cooktop? I’ve only briefly used one at my Mum’s place and I hated it. Finnicky digital bastard of a thing, and if your fingers are wet, you can’t press the buttons. But it’s probably better to cook on than the old electric solid hot-plate thing we have now that takes aeons to either heat up, or two aeons to cool down.
induction is not about the buttons, induction is the method of heat transfer between the cook top and your pots. Just look for one wiht better phyiscal buttons that are not digital-ish. Miele and Bosch are usually safe bets.
I hate the trend of appliances and new devices moving away from old fashioned buttons and dials. My drier recently glitched out and unlike my old school ones that had physical switches to adjust, but new one is just digital tap sensors. I could pause it by opening the door, but in order to get it out of whatever glitch it got stuck in I had to literally pull the plug.
I have heard they have induction stoves that arent digital nonsense though.
Saying that, for stoves it makes cleaning them so much easier
