  Smallest laundromat front-loader or a friend's front-loader.  Delicate cycle.  Dry flat. [this post was last edited: 12/3/2022-08:10]

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.

Oven display in action.   Convection Roast setting and timer.  The red icons are sharp to the human eye but bloomed (overexposed) in the camera.

Temperature is directly to the right… … of the clock/timer display. Each induction zone has its own single digit display. The number pad is for entering temperatures and times. Oven status icons light up to the left and right of the digital displays.

  . . . and it resembles original CorningWare like Bugs Bunny resembles a real rabbit.   Instant Brands, the current owner of the trademark, seems to be trying to wipe CorningWare Pyroceram as well as Visions cookware from the American culinary psyche, even while both are still going strong...

I'm a bells 'n' whistles kind of guy . . .   . . . and Frigidaire's free-standing induction stove spoke to the younger inner me that yearned for a Touch N Cook.   Induction, convection and Air Fry are whipped cream, peanut sprinkles and a Maraschino cherry on top.    

Looks like an electric smooth top, ergo slow.   Appliance makers have their work cut out for them convincing stove shoppers otherwise.

  Top THAT, Rubbermaid Duralite!

Shape the piece during the amber phase . . . . . . And you have Visions. The amber color remains buried in white Pyroceram but becomes visible if you shine a bright light through it.

  Rather audacious claim on the home page.  Can't use it on a gas or electric burner.  Can't take heat hotter than 550 degrees F.  Can't broil for more than 10 minutes.   Use & Care: https://s7d9.scene7.com/is/content/NewellRubbermaid/DuraLite_Use_and_Care_PDF    ...

  That is one quirky burner layout.

Today's under-$2,000.00 induction lineup at Home Depot   In Sunny SoCal.  Price may vary by region.

Beta vs. VHS 2.0 Someone had to say it.

Gas loyalists, Samsung is gunning for you.   "Burner" knobs on the front, tempting price, a few hundred more for Air Fry and Convection.  Yeah, it all adds up.  Samsung is clearly aiming for the gas-replacement market.   Frigidaire's touch control induction stoves are still the cheapest with...

A concise if somewhat scattershot history of induction   An odd claim: "American manufacturers made their last induction stoves for home use in 1999." http://www.historyofmicrowave.com/microwave-history/history-of-induction-cooker/
