Induction Cooktop
We presently have a glasstop ceramic cooktop. We have now had a second
burner burn out and are thinking of replacing it with an Induction Cooktop. We are using All Clad Stainless cookware. I would like to hear all the pros and cons about making this change. Thanks for any and all help. |

If I were installing it into my countertop (I'm sure this the only way to buy an induction cooktop with more than one burner? or am I mistaken?) I would read many reviews of the different brands available to you if you live in the U.S. I recall reading at one time a year or so ago, one particular countertop brand (four burners) here in the U.S., (and there weren't many brands available), that had some not-so-good reviews. That's pretty frightening for something that costs so much. I do have a couple of induction hobs that I like. I started to use one a while ago outside, but got rained out, and finished up inside. Beef barley soup/stew. I prefer cooking meat outdoors - like our fore'bears.' Dee Dee |

Some manufacturers, including All Clad, have recently reformulated all their stainless steel pots and pans to be induction-compatible. Check your stainless steel pot/pan base with a magnet to be sure. And some aluminum pot and pan manufacturers, including Circulon, have recently added new aluminum lines including thick steel-encapsulated bases which are induction-compatible. I recently bought an "Infinite Circulon" 7-qt. stock pot (with the locking strainer lid: http://tinyurl.com/5kt2uh) which works beautifully with my induction hob. I've never cared for Circulon, but this pot has very wide, comfortable handles, and is very stable to handle when full of liquid. Now we'll see what the interior bottom looks like after its first batch of my high-powered chili... 8 -- Larry |

I would have to be convinced that induction was a near miracle before I would replace my Magnalite pans. Some of mine are over 50 years old and still perform as designed.

How lovely to see you posting) I guess you see me on the cross-posting; I don't post to rfc; just bread, wine, coffee & equipment.
