TIDBITS SAGA:

A TALE OF INDUCTION

Thursday, I went with Ted to pick out a new stove for his kitchen. He's dissatisfied with his propane, commercial-grade one and wants a more responsive and controllable one.

While at Lowe's, I noticed a brochure on a Samsung induction stove!

I was immediately drawn to the idea. Now, to get Ted interested. The excellent salesman, Jimmy, explained the advantages to good advantage! It's a beautiful system: it cooks cleanly, quickly and safely. It works by INDUCING the molecules in an iron pan to agitate by magnetic induction thus heating the food. Look:

I remember the introduction of induction cooking about a decade ago. A ceramic artist I knew made an induction cooktop! It was $15,000. though—gorgeous but out of the question.

Today's countertops cost about $1,900 but whole ranges now cost $1,800 to $7,100!

Drawback: Glass, aluminum or ceramic pots won't work.

I'll keep you posted on Ted's progress!!!!!
