The consensus among many cooking professionals . . .   . . . is that the lowest 2 settings on an induction cooktop, portable or fixed, are the equivalent of using a double boiler.  Some folks buy a portable just for that purpose.

HD Under-$2000.00 Price Update   Frigidaire and Samsung tied for second cheapest.  Samsung lacks convection and Air Fry but has "burner" knobs favored by gas loyalists.  Lowest-priced color options.

Natural bleaching action will take care of it.    Ever notice how a tomato or fruit juice stain on a wooden cutting board eventually fades away?  Just let nature take its course.

You’re more likely to be killed by a California driver texting the links to the articles while driving solo in the carpool lane and sucking back a Starbucks with the other hand.

Wait, wait, I lost track again. Is coffee a deadly poison or an elixir of health this week?

Ya hear that, Haier?   Bring back the GE Versatronic oven! With induction on the range models, of course.

All the biggies make all the pieces.   Just about every maker offers Air Fry wall ovens.  A recent design trend is putting a wall oven under the counter with a cooktop on top.  Look for wall ovens suitable for undercounter installation and cooktops that specify they can be installed over a...

I grew up in a house with a GE electric coil stove . . .   . . . so Mom used matches to burn off stray pinfeathers.

I thought I was wrong once. . .     . . . but I was mistaken.  C'est la vie! [this post was last edited: 12/3/2022-13:55]

STOP THE PRESSES!   Seems GE is testing the waters selling a free-standing Profile range online and through a few select dealers.  Wayfair is selling it for just under 2Gs.  Not available from Home Depot or Lowe's.   Uncanny resemblance to the Frigidaire induction control panel (top) with a...

The Sears search engine is a little wonky.   It pulls in several non-induction electric ranges if you search for "induction range".  You have to read the detailed description of each.

When I was your age . . .   . . . we had steam-powered microwave ovens.  Had to shovel our own coal to nuke a single hot dog.  AND WE WERE HAPPY TO DO IT!

Some may look at the bubble ring and yell . . .   "Hot spot! Uneven heat!"   Redo the test with pancake batter like Consumer Reports did before the advent of FLIR (Forward-Looking InfraRed) cameras.  I believe they still double-check with pancake batter.

Latest under $2,000.00 lineup at Home Depot   Lowest-priced color options.   There probably won't be a race to the bottom of the price stack until after the holidays.

I recently boiled a gallon of water on the Frigidaire . . .   . . . using the Power Boost setting on the largest zone in a 6-quart pressure cooker bottom with its glass lid.  The water hit a full boil before the 10-minute Power Boost timeout.  Under 10 minutes is pretty darn fast.   Control...

Course correction and prediction:    If Frigidaire and Samsung start selling them like hotcakes, the floodgates will open and we'll see a basic induction range with a street price of $899.00 or less.
