Induction is fast, but actually cooking is a PITA because mine at least adjusts power output via PWMing the whole output with a very slow square wave: i.e. it alternates between full on and completely off. Yes that's also what thermostats do on electric stoves with resistive elements, but those have extra thermal mass and thermal lag that smoothes out the overall heat output.

I have a hybrid cooktop. one burner is radiant, the other is induction. this solves all my problems.

I also regularly buy bar keepers friend to clean the pots as stuff stuck outside those pots tend to get fiercely stuck when not using LPG.

I stopped using an induction burner after having some issues with it, but I think that may have just been user error. I only ever use burners for boiling water for tea these days, so maybe I should give it another try.

It's insane now fast it is for boiling water. I brought our electric kettle to the office because it is now useless in our kitchen now that we have a kettle for the induction stove.

Induction can have the crown as soon as appliance designers stop giving them infuriating capacitive touch controls that are a fundamentally bad input method for a fucking stove.

Give them knobs. The UI nerd in me is so angry at the slow death of competent design as its cannibalized by marketing and branding people, and the penny pinchers they serve.

My induction range has knobs! Even the oven setting is a knob.

[–] herrvogel@lemmy.world 48 points 1 week ago (35 children)

The problem is not with the controls fundamentally, it's with the low quality controls. A glass touch surface has merit: it's extremely easy to clean and keep clean, you're never gonna get boiling pasta juice in there and corrode the contacts or whatever. It's just that the manufacturers use the worst, most pathetic sensors that stop working as soon as the surface gets slightly moist. My own induction stovetop is pretty bad in that regard, but my parents' significantly more expensive one is perfectly fine. The control part of the glass surface never gets very hot either.

Point is, it's pretty good when done right. But they often don't do it right.

The problem is give me a damned knob.

The highest quality touchscreen on earth that works perfectly not matter what is on my hands and never makes a mistake would still be shittier than a simple fucking knob.

Fast heating, wipe clean, works off clean electricity, roasts me less in the summer, doesn't care about the air coming from a window, starts the first time every time, what more could I ask for? I got this cheap plug in one and it dropkicks my installed gas stove in basically every metric.

Induction has just gone from "cool, but for the rich folks" to simply an undisputed king of stovetops.

Much like solar and other green technologies.

[–] mirshafie@europe.pub 45 points 1 week ago (21 children)

Induction rules but the touch controls that almost always come with them can fuck right off.
