Portable induction hub?
« on: Sun, 02 January 2022, 15:58:19 »
Hey,

2 of my 4 electric cooker hubs are broken and I was thinking about buying a single or double portable induction hub at least until my landlord can get to switch it. Anyone who thinks it could be worth it?

Just remember that induction hubs work only with cookware that have steel/iron in the bottom. Cast iron pans work well.
Pots made from pure aluminium don't.

Proper induction stoves are fast and energy-efficient. Beware of bad user interfaces though. All stoves I've tried have had crappy touch controls, not even multitouch.

Depending on whether you have good money invested in good cookware, induction may or may not be a good choice.

There is great cookware that is not magnetic as well as gear that is. Personally, I have lots of cookware that would never work with induction.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."
