@lenaoflune whatcha got? I have a little portable induction burner and it's made me curious about replacing the house range.
@lenaoflune ahhh, that sounds good. This little burner is terrible on low, seems to constantly toggle off and on. Pancakes are difficult. Glad to hear that's not necessarily a feature of induction.
@b4cks4w Yep, it's not -- not necessarily, anyway. An induction cooktop will typically operate by cycling its induction coils (the duty cycle determining the heat delivered). A range has much larger and more powerful coils, what with its giant power connection, so it can deliver more energy per cycle and thus maintain more consistent heat.
Practically, I have no issue doing crepes or pancakes on my induction cooktop :)
@b4cks4w We have a Frigidaire Gallery induction range with a convection oven and love it :) The broiler is righteous and the cooktop is very good. The only issue we have with it, which is a minor quibble, is that the power seems logarithmic; you have more control at the low end than at the high end. Practically, this just means rethinking what "medium" heat is :)
