Love my new induction stove! Our old gas stove was leaking and could have blown up the house. We've noticed a lot less waste heat too, metal pan handles can be grabbed without a hot pad, the kitchen doesn't heat up as much from cooking. And it heats up blazingly fast.
I'm looking to switch to a induction stove when my current gas stove dies. Do you happen to know what amperage was needed on yours?
Ours was 50 amp, which seems to be pretty common for 30-36in wide cooktops
What's the response time like when reducing heat?
It is nearly instantly. Heat is generated in the pot directly, not in/on the stove, so there is nothing else which stores the energy, like the plates in older ones.
The heat goes down immediately with most pans. Cast iron retains more heat though.
We went to the thrift store with a fridge magnet to buy our new pans, stainless steel lasts a long time
Can i ask what brand? And what the oven runs on -- i assume electric? I'm interested, but have always used terrible electric coils or gas.
Yeah we went with the GE Profile 36in induction cooktop.
It's more responsive than either gas or electric coils. The catch is you need pans that a fridge magnet will stick to. A trip to the thrift store with a magnet worked out for us.
