Same here, I bought a one induction plate -- I believe it goes to a 12"
ring. Then I liked it so much I bought another.
I do use them outside for long time cooking as I would a crockpot. If I
needed another burner (or two) inside, there, I have it.
I was trying out induction to see if I wanted to go to the expense of
induction (not that I 'really' would). I'm happy with the regular electric
cooktop. I don't feel that it is a trade-off either.
