3/15 To the induction heating guy-- I also have a slow electric stove
and it also bothers me a lot, but I took a very different route to
remedy the problem. I went to Ranch 99 to buy a portable butane
stove, you know, those you use on hot pots. I did a benchmark
and it boils water ~60% faster than my electric stove.
Total cost to my butane stove: $12.99 plus $1 each butane canister.
Total cost to your hi-tech induction heating stove: $200-$2000.
Hi-tech induction heating is for yuppies who have too much time
and too much money. Lo-tech rules.
\_ Be careful with Carbon Monoxide.
\_ I think you have a lousy electric stove. My electric stove boils
water faster than the portable butane stove I bought from Ranch.
Plus, how many pots of water can you boil with one butane canister?
\_ It also depends on the cookware you use. Aluminum (and
hard-anodized non-stick) heats up relatively fast, but
stainless steel (even multi-layered) heats up slower. If
your stove is slow, you may look at different type of
cookware. I personally like Cast Iron. Heats up very fast
and retains heat really well. |
