Using a Induction hot plate as a slow cooker
I am thinking on a buying a induction hot plate from Amazon.com
(http://www.amazon.com/Max-Burton-600...-Induction/dp/ B000MVN1M6/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top). I wanted know if there was any reason I could not use it as a makeshift heat in a slow cooker application? In other words, place a cast iron dutch oven, with the slow cooking food, on the induction hot plate. Next, leave and go to work. Then come back to a hot meal. |

Why not just get a West Bend oblong slow cooker? |

You probably could, but your electric bill would suffer. You need to check on the difference between using a crockpot and an induction cooker. Big difference in electric usage. |

I do this all the time, for chili and other items, with the very same Burton hob and either a 7-qt. Le Creuset or a 6-qt. Calphalon non-stick pot. Works fine. -- Larry |

I checked and you can get one of these fancy schmancy programable cookers for way less than the indudction top and it will cost you way less to use. http://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-Beach...sr=1-1-catcorr |

Yes -- in favor of the induction hob. Induction is extremely efficient. Much more so than an antique heating element and a ceramic vessel. -- Larry |

Do you know that you can actually buy a NUWAVE Pressure Cooker that works on an Induction hot plate? The Pressure Cooker does slow cooking, faster. |

This one is aluminum, so it wouldn't work on induction, but it's little and kinda cute. http://www.target.com/p/imusa-alumin...l/-/A-10827938 https://www.facebook.com/PetrieMuseu...53715638470406 --Bryan |

This one for much less has higher ratings: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0045QEPYM I have this one. It is wonderful. I have a slow cooker, so I have not tried using it as one. The bottom temperature is 140F. What is a slow cooker? Don. http://paleofood.com/ (e-mail at page bottom). |

The visible difference is the front panel is sloped. The problem with the none sloped panel is very wide pans will extend over the panel and the heat of the pan can melt the panel some. This doesn't reduce functionality, but cosmetically looks bad. So this is the one you now want: http://www.amazon.com//dp/B00GMCAM2G Don. www.donwiss.com (e-mail link at home page bottom). |

I use my induction range for slow cooking with no problem. I'll leave stuff on, go to work, and come back 10 hrs later. I'll also use the oven as a slow cooker - put a pork butt in and go to bed or go to work. I'll also use my rice cooker on the warm setting as a slow cooker and have left beef shortribs in there for days. These techniques work like a Maverick missile i.e., fire and forget. |

I live in a cold climate, so I like to use the oven set on low and my stock pot or dutch oven as a slow cooker. The oven on low puts a low steady heat into the house and gives a slow controlled heat for cooking. Great to come home to on a cold evening!! Yes, I have a big crock pot that I hate. I do use it in the summer when I do not want the oven on. I guess I do not see the difference between an induction single burner and using a stove burner on the lowest setting. DaleP |

We use our induction top stove to do slow cooking and it is so much more precise and energy efficient than any other method that it is a no brainer for us. It's by far the best way to go for slow cooking. |

The precision is near perfect for induction, our stove can melt and hold chocolate without scorching, or boil water a lot faster than a high power microwave oven, and anything in between with precise control to one degree. |

Using a Induction hot plate as a slow cooker
The big question for me would be the size of,the warming plate. If I leave the
house empty for a day, with a crockpot turned on, I put it in the dry kitchen sink, just in case it goes crazy and sets itself on fire. Will a warming tray or Induction device fit in the sink? N. |

What temp should I use when the recipe says to slow cook on High? or Low? Thanks That depends on the wattage of the unit and the control settings. My Samsung range will do a nice boil on a pot of stew at 5 on the big element. I like to do most of my frying between 7 and 10. I can do a very slow simmer at about 3. You could probably keep something warm on 2. I don't go much lower than that. The lowest setting would be .5 but I've never had occasion to use it. Oddly enough, the range calls that "simmer." |

I don't believe that I could come up with a way to cause a fire with one of those. That would be an interesting challenge. |

That is a good time to break out a decent thermometer and check to see what temperature it is, then you can calibrate the setting to what the low setting on a slow cooker should read. I tried using my rice cooker as a slow cooker and it worked for me. My experiment was tomatoes (no meat), so I knew I wouldn't make myself sick if it was too far off. -- Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them. |

The large chunks of chuck was fried in oil and braised. I set the range to 3 and took a nap for around 3 hours. I had the stew with some stinky pickled radish. I ate the cold radish first. It was good eats alright. https://www.amazon.com/photos/share/...2hfbYdWj9gmlOI |

Using a Induction hot plate as a slow cooker
ds, appliances can set themselves on fire....it can be caused by a faulty electrical
connection where the plug attaches to the appliance. It doesn't have to be a high temp... my mom had an iron that shorted itself out,burned the ironing board cover, and melted its own bottom plate. It was just plugged in like usual. So, you never know..... N. |

I didn't believe it possible until I saw the hole. OTOH, I'll bet that the majority of fires are not caused by a failure of the electrical parts. Mostly they're caused by operator error. Induction ranges pretty much removes that possibility. |

Using a Induction hot plate as a slow cooker
Isn't pork belly just a huge chunk of uncut bacon? What is there to eat? Small
strips of meat among all that gelatinous fat? There is a pic when I Googled it, compliments of Gordon Ramsey, and that is what it looks like. I can't imagine eating bacon fat like that....my bacon has to be fried crispy, brown and thin-cut. If someone put a piece of pork belly in front of me, I would probably gag before taking a bite. Am I wrong about it? N. |
