/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I have a standalone induction cooktop too, a Duxtop that I got on Amazon for $70.

It's probably the one "gimmick" appliance that's not a gimmick. I prefer using it to my gas range.

>>6444444
Checked.

>>6444444
Nice get, I hereby crown you king of /ck/

>>6444444
How fast do the pans heat up? Also nice digits.

Much, much faster than gas.

Also better temperature control too...because there's a thermometer built into it.

>>6444444
do my eyes deceive me? did you get triple dubs!??

>>6444444

Induction cooktops are popular around Asia. Firsttime I tried one I knew I had to get one for myself. I have a portable one like in OP's picture, but the stupid heat sensor prevents me from heating up my pan past 500 Fahrenheit.

Hexes gets seven replies on /ck/ that also include responses to what the post actually said... I love this board

I've always wanted a sous vide cooker or one of the clampy-things that do the same thing

>>6444378
i have one of these, plus a mini oven and grill. bought them when my normie cooker broke years ago, have continued using them ever since. uses masses less electricity and space, costs fuck all and is at least as good as any cooker i've owned.
also have mandoline, that's probably unusual but it's the only way to slice things ultra-thin, i make sauerkraut with it. oh and a dehydrator, which i fill with fruits once a week, dry them out and nom them as snacks. also have a burger press, which is good because hand-formed burgers always have little stringy edges which burn. i have a yogurt fermenter too which is pretty good. erm, what else, iuno, nothing unusual i don't think.

Glorious hexes!

Also, pic vaguely related to OP's question.

Anyway, a breville juicer and a soda stream. I freeze fresh fruit and vegetable juices into ice cubes and add them to sparkling water. This probably accounts for 30% of my diet so they're pretty indispensable.

Also a mandoline with different blades and inserts. Makes prepping vegetables for the freezer easy breezy

>>6444444
/v/irgin here for first time and I witness this gloriousness

>>6444378
Microplanes are pretty nice
Whipping Siphons too

>>6445253
pls be a grill and in london

>>6445409
Close. American grill
...why, is that a deal-breaker, anon-kun?

>>6445823

it's a meme

>>6445852
Wasn't around for that one

>>6444444

No house is complete without a whipping siphon and 10 cases of carts in the garage

This bad boy.

Hmmm, might add to my collection. Looks pretty compact.

>>6446403
>Looks pretty compact.

you say that like it's a good thing.

How the fuck do you expect to be able to use a reasonably sized pot on it, or for it to have suitable heat output if it's compact and plugs into a normal wall outlet?

>>6446410
>reasonably sized pot on it

I meant thin rather than small. And I think those things can get up to 450 F on a normal wall outlet.

I'm pretty ignorant of induction cooking, though. At the moment I have the coiled electric range thing and am movinginto a place in about four months that has gas, but that burner may be better than either... just don't know.

Cleaning my waffle iron takes longer than cooking the damn things. So I've got to ask, is it even possible to do it quickly?

>>6446449

The solution I've come across is not to overfill it with batter. The problem comes from the uncooked batter that leaks down the sides.

I just pour it into the middle, spatula it around a little, and when I remove the waffle, it's as if nothing was ever in it.

So try using less batter - you might end up with more of a star shape until you perfect it.

just a mirowave, toaster, cheap fridge/ frezzer and mr coffee drip . I know shoudn't have too much stored and insurance company would have paid but really was not that bad compared to others. usaa .not endorsed or paid, just good

>And I think those things can get up to 450 F on a normal wall outlet.

Meaningless. A cigarette lighter or match flame can easily exceed 1000F but it's pretty useless for cooking. The temperature is meaningless, what matters is its power output which you would measure in units like BTU or wattts/hour. Because the typical north american wall socket is limited to 120V 15A, the most power you'll ever see is around 1500-1800 watts, which is frankly shite. It'd be OK for warming a sauce or something. It would suck for actual cooking.

Gas is king.

It's no deep fryer replacement, but I use this thing non-stop. It's great for cooking ground meat. If you buy precooked frozen foods, it does well, you just aren't able to do much at once, it'll turn to mush if you try.

Great for making wine sparkle! I don't drink much carbonated drinks, but it's fun to have.

>>6446553
On the rare (once every three years) occasion that I deep fry something, I use mine. Gets the oil to 400 F in no time. The thing about heat is that it's transferable. I know what you're saying, I thought it was going to suck for cooking, but it really doesn't.

I don't care what facts you want to dispute, if you haven't tried it, your opinion is moot.

>>6444378
Water at the temperature you want it at, and it'll keep it there for 20 minutes at a time. Perfect French press coffee or tea every time.

This fucking thing. It's the overpriced high end foreman grill with like 10 different removable plates. Fucker can sear shit at 500F and you can make a mother fucking lasagna with it. If you're a lazy fuck you just remove the plates and throw it in the dishwasher.

>>6448067
I don't think I would consider an electric kettle a "non-standard" kitchen appliance. They're pretty common.

>>6445226
I chortled.

>>6448048
Whoa.
I need this now

>>6448115
not in 'merica. No one I know has one.

>>6444444
So glad this happened her where nobody cares. /b/ has prob had "in this thread we wait for 6444444" threads for a month.
Also, induction heats up nice and fast but I hate it cuz it stays hot after you shut it off. Gas cools quick

>>6448257
Huh?
Induction doesn't heat up at all.
Any thermal retention is a property of the pan.

>>6448257
That's not how post numbers work, they're board specific. That "GET" is just for /ck/.

To illustrate, /b/ is up to 9-digit post numbers now, while /ck/ is only up to 7-digits. If you go on /biz/ you can see moot's sticky is post no. 1.

/qa/ - Questions and Answers just had their 100,000th post on Wednesday. Yes, that is a real board.

Induction looks interesting but don't you run into problems with any pan that isn't perfectly flat on the bottom?

>>6444378
Omfg that high pitch ringing, id use them more if they didnt make that noise.

>What non-standard kitchen appliances do you swear by?

this stupid thing

everytime I have used it I just end up swearing my head off

what a piece of junk

>>6444378
Is the nuwave induction shit worth getting?
I can grab it at bed bath and beyond for like 60 dollars when its normally like 100 but I'm concerned since I've had nothing but nightmares with "tv" brand products.

>>6448150
Maybe it's just your region. I live in South eastern burgerland and I have one. Idk about other people. I do love it though.

I like in the US and I have an electric kettle that I use every day. I know plenty of other people who have them as well.
