Oh goodness, you got a new induction cooker? Now that's a suprise!! lol

Very impressive though, 3700 Watts on one burner, not only a very powerful burner but also inductionlike fast! In comparison an induction cooktop uses the power more efficient than any other type of burner. My burners are only 2100 Watts, but I'm still amazed by how fast things go.

And nothing better than a bit of pressure cooking on an induction stove!

I bet you're busy, studying the manual and studying dutch. I'll take both exams. ;-)
 
Thank you/Gracias/Merci

That was very helpful. A group of us were talking about induction cooking the other day and I admitted that I wouldn't know what to buy. Now I do.

Finally they figured out how to design the non-knobs/controls (although I still think most consumers would prefer actual knobs to virtual-ones.) Adding that griddle to the package was a very clever lagniappe (or was that already yours?).
 
Take a gander

NO, Ken the griddle comes with the cooktop, nice SS clad aluminum.

 

Its fast ! It really heats my new Fissler Schnellbratpfanne mit deckel !! Which is "Induktionsherd geeignet"!

 

Louis: Its "Geschikt voor inductiefornuis !"

Love it Jon!! And the price point is astonishing, one of these is likely in my future.

I'd love to see a time to boil run on that big 3700 watt element. That likely should outperform ANYTHING in a home kitchen. Bet it would even hang with one of those 18,000 BTU pretend commercial gas burners in the poser ranges.

As a technical aside, turn your iBlab sideways when shooting videos! Video is a horizontal format, especially on the YouTube :p
 
1990 KM Induction CT By Sanyo

Yes What happened to the KM CT, my 1987 Unit is still going strong, it has never had a single glitch.

 

I  got the GE 36" mirror top Monogram induction CT for Smitties new kitchen, and yes it is amazing how much faster it is compared to the old KM ICT.

 

I will not change mine out for a while, because I have high powered elements in my trusty old JennAir cook top next to the KM ICT anyway.

 

You know Jon if I get a new GE Cafe ICT I will sound insulate it so it will be much quieter than yours.
 
Absolutely beautiful cooktop.
Does anyone know the reliability and life span of induction cooktops ?
Just wondering because I'll be in the market for a new range soon. And I think that you can only use steel cookware.
 
Love it John,

and your pho' also looks delicious.
I have used one GE induction unit back in the early 90's. It was awesome as well. Very expensive back then. It was a 36 inch "profile" model.
My friend sold that house shortly after remodeling it, so I don't know if it had any problems.
I would think, if a fan fails, it could be replaced. Under glass controls are very reliable these days. Magnetic coils last a long time.
Maybe you spend more up front, but longevity is better. Most energy efficient way to cook also.
 
Congratulations, Jon

When you were here at the wash in, I thought that you said that you had to use your gas cooktop all summer because of induction cooker problems, replacements and exchanges or was that the summer previous to this one?

 

Big question, how did you use that old pressure cooker, which I thought was all aluminum, on the induction range? My oldest Kuhn-Rikon is not induction compatible.

 

I found a piece of non-stick All Clad for cooking brown rice with none of the cleanup hassle of regular stainless steel.  Once the water boils, I turn the power down to 4%, set the timer for 55 minutes and forget about it until it is ready to serve.

 

I think it would help new induction users if, in the instruction manual,  they printed the old 5 heat electric range heat percentages: High =100%, Medium High = 1/2, Medium = 1/3 or 30%, Low = 1/7 or 14% and Simmer = 1/10 or less.  If you have a control that allows 100 settings those are easily used. If you have a 20 setting control you just convert so that half is 10, at third is 5 or 6 or 7, low is 3 or 4 and simmer is 1 or 2, depending on the quantity of food.
