Induction Cooktop

[westie2]

Go the I wants this weekend and did lots of online looking finally ordered not one but two induction cooktops.  Fagor ones had looked and look was ready for just one but got this nice deal from Walmart online.  I really think it was a screw up by someone but I got the two today.  Later they started showing sold out online as went back to order a couple more to give as gifts.  Now to learn how to use them.  Have the pots and pans.  I just hope it turn out as a good deal.

Robot or human?

Broke both in doing our dinner.   Using the different levels from warm to the stir fry is like using our GE we had in a house.  Go to the boil to start and down one or two levels hold the temps just right.  If we ever have to replace our smooth top we will go with induction.  Really nice to have.

At first, I thought both of them failed you, but soon realized that was not the case.

 

I bought one for Dave after he had his stroke in 2009, presuming his interest in cooking would return, but it didn't.  I can't recall the make off hand. Max something-or-other?

 

It's been on a shelf in the basement because our Magnalite Professional cookware is primarily an aluminum material.  Just within the past several months I found a skillet that will work with induction, so I need to try it, although since we have a gas range, that's still the more economical alternative, I think. 

 

I was surprised to find out that induction made a gravelly sound.  I was expecting it to be nearly silent.

Really trying this out.  Made Gas House eggs this morning.  We had kept all our cast iron things when we put in out glass top.  Used it for camping but now will also use for some cooking.  used our 10 inch skillet started out on boil then down one level such even heat all of the ones turned out great.

Beware of Fagor, the company went bankrupcy in late October 2013.
I don't know if the US brach was indepentent of the main European part of the company.
I'm currently in Spain for a conference and I was told that the brand simply disappeared overnight after the bankrupcy declaration leaving people that owned its appliances with nothing, same goes for those in France or Italy.
