New homes in the US may not be “electrical ready” after an international standards agency excluded building electrification measures from its latest energy code.
This is what I did. New induction stovetop for $5000 vs an induction cooktop for $50 that I can also take camping? Easy choice. We use the cooktop for a big toaster oven for everything, including pasta, so we only need to fire up the gas range if we absolutely need multiple burners or a ton of oven space.
Our cooktop heats up water just about as fast as our electric kettle, which was surprising to me. I guess they both probably pull the same amount of power from the wall.
Can’t recommend an induction cooktop enough. We got a Nuwave PIC, but I’m sure any cooktop will provide a similar great experience. If you end up getting a PIC, I recommend getting the case with it. We passed it up, but we’ve taken it camping a few times now and the case would have helped. It totally blows our camp stove out of the water.
