Vote below! Is induction magic or science??

I’ve used all three stove tops types and I’ll choose induction every time. Fast heat, instant on and off, and easier to clean.

[@Mehwhatevr]

Me too. I'm no chef, But I love how fast and easy it is.

[@oksyar]

Have you used infrared stove? Can you please tell me how it compares to induction?

[@Mehwhatevr]

@@oksyar An infrared stove??? Is that the normal electric stove or something else?

[@oksyar]

@@Mehwhatevr nope, it's not normal electric stove. But it's different than induction. It can heat any kind of cookware. I just wanted to know if it's as fast as induction or not

[@Mehwhatevr]

@@oksyar That sounds fascinating. I would love to learn more about it. I had trouble finding anything when I googled it.

This is the most educating video on Induction cooker. Thank you

[@BoulevardHome]

So glad to hear that, glad it was informative!

[@erepsekahs]

R U sure?

[@3moirai]

Great primer on induction and some great tips on cooking and how to handle the glass surface. Looking forward to the next on the series.

[@BoulevardHome]

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!

[@TheMichael285]

Ive recently purchased a hotplate induction cookware. Love it. Just wish it had more visual feedback around burner place of heat intensity

[@Mythical_Aura]

Thank you so much!!! This was really helpful 💜

Glad to hear that, thank you for the comment!

[@athiyassweetnspicykitchen]

Nice sharing Bhai .So useful information about induction stove 👍🏻

[@BoulevardHome]

Thanks for watching!

[@clementhilty7239]

Super cool! What model of stove has the LED light bar indicating when the glass is hot?

[@BoulevardHome]

Thanks for the question! The model used in this video with the light bar is the Thermador Freedom 36", model #CIT36YWBB

[@stump469]

Interesting that you say the glass top can still retain "some" heat when finished, yet it's safe to place a towel under a pan? I'm guessing the heat isn't enough for the towel to combust? Extremely interesting video though, thank you. I had many years in electrical retail, amazing to see how it's progressed. 🙏

[@BoulevardHome]

A towel placed beneath a pan will definitely get hot, so if it's particularly combustible we would recommend not using it. Glad you found the video interesting, thanks for the comment!

[@stump469]

@@BoulevardHome Thanks for your wonderful response. An old dude out of this game for so long, I struggle with some of this marvelous new technology. Haha. 🙏

[@bodom11716]

Questions: How does the top of the pan become hot (to cook the food) while the bottom of the pan doesnt (able to put a cloth underneath), if its all magnetic material? Since the part above the induction is getting hot, and the rest of the pan is metal, how does the heat not spread to other parts outside the induction zone?

[@user-cr6qv1bn2u]

The bottoms of the pan does hey hot. But not the stove itself unlike Radiant

[@sheezy2526]

You don't need to replace your cookware, there are Induction Adapter Plates you can buy

[@BoulevardHome]

Didn't know this was a thing, that's super cool! Thanks for sharing that piece of information

[@craigbrowning9448]

I just purchased an Induction Cooktop (Hamilton Beach from Best Buy). I didn't have a magnetic conducting pan that was big enough, so I put a stainless Revere where pan on top of a Cast Iron Mini Dutch oven lid. It seems to work but the conduction between the cast iron and Non-Magneticl Revere Ware sauce pan appears to be a bit Lossy. Any recommendations?

[@Jmandude5]

Obvious recommendation would be to buy the appropriately sized pan

[@mak4374]

Question: Would it work with non-magnetic pans if I used a magnetic plate of metal in between? It might also protect the glass if I keep moving the pan...?

[@BoulevardHome]

We have not tested that out personally, but someone recently let us know that there are induction adapter plates that you can buy. It sounds like basically the same thing you are describing! If you decide to try it, let us know how it works!

[@bellevi833]

I use a magnetic plate for my non-magnetic pans/pots. It works, but it takes longer to cook coz the pans/pots don't get as hot.

[@MrMomo2022]

Did you ever quickly rubbed both hands together when you feel cold and felt a bit warmer? Same principle.

[@Asfgxff]

You mean friction?

[@jobond3317]

I have learnt that the pan should be the same size as the induction cooktop and be flat. Often older pans can warp over time and the contact is not even.

[@7531monkey]

You can buy stainless pads for your induction. It would be silly to throw away your non induction stuff when you can buy a cheap pad.

[@BoulevardHome]

That is true! There are ways you can get your non-magnetic cookware to work with induction if you don't want to get new stuff. Thanks for the comment!

[@Ajibade_suliyah12]

Will I have to place a magnetic pan on top before it will heat up I place pots on it but it not heating up It’s kind of frustrating 😢

[@BoulevardHome]

So sorry to hear that! But yes, make sure your cookware is magnetic.

[@melissal4135]

Hi, what is the refrigerator behind you?

[@BoulevardHome]

Thanks for the question! I am not sure the exact model but it's a Thermador French Door refrigerator.

[@joystvchannels8693]

I used induction cooker and every-time I turn on the grilled its on for one minutes and after that the power for the house is off i don't understand why mybe is higher voltage

[@GlossaME]

Check your electric wiring. Something is not right

[@AwaisKhan-mh6cd]

Check the current of your house electric wiring and amount of current your stove generates

[@Keithevanis]

Has anyone used this forlong cooking times? Like for stews or bone broth?🙂

[@jermainec2462]

i thought steve was Rodney dangerfield 😂😂😂

[@democratictotalitariansoci1462]

Sir, can we use baking paper between induction Stove and a pan? Sounds as best solution but is it? **update- baking paper is great 👍👍

[@BoulevardHome]

Lots of people do this actually! It generally is pretty safe because the cooktop itself doesn't heat up, and it can help keep the glass from scratching. However, we should note that depending on how hot your pan will get, there is the chance of it scorching the paper.

[@democratictotalitariansoci1462]

@@BoulevardHome just trying it, my stove is 1500w and paper is fine. Plus, it's excellent protection from splashing over the electric parts. Thanks for idea 👍

[@alanzinga4070]

How friendly is it on electricity bill? Compared with conventional cookers

[@sappyjohnson]

More friendly. It's more efficient than electric.

[@BoulevardHome]

Induction should typically be more efficient than a traditional electric cooktop, thanks for the question!

[@johnaron9819]

A double will need a dedicated breaker.

[@snoopaka]

How safe are they if you have a pacemaker?

[@BoulevardHome]

At the time of filming, there really wasn't any substantial research into that issue, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to consult with a doctor if you are concerned! It's definitely something to keep in mind.

[@babymoma0776]

Hi I spoke with a friend recently because I have just purchased an induction hob switching from gas and she was telling me that her mom had an induction hob and can no longer use it since having a pacemaker fitted because of the electromagnetic field from induction hob can interfere with the pacemaker, it says on google to keep a distance of at least 60cm (2 feet) between stove top and pacemaker, hope that helps.

[@erepsekahs]

Rucking interesting and informative mon ami. and grassy-ass.

1:42 you know, for the environment.

[@lindagreen4744]

I have an induction top, it takes so long to warm up, I hate it

[@BoulevardHome]

Sorry to hear that. That's also surprising, as induction is known for heating up super quickly. What kind of cookware are you using? It's possible that what you're using isn't very inductive and isn't excited by the stove very much. It could also be that your cookware doesn't match the "burner" size so not every part of the pan is being activated.

[@dominicpanesa6285]

Electric consumption high?

[@GiJoe94]

It should be 30-50% lower compared to resistance heating. Induction is way more efficient

[@Stogie2112]

Very informative video, but Tyler, please slow down. You talk a bit too fast.... 🙂🙂

[@BoulevardHome]

Noted, thanks for the feedback!

[@soundscapes4879]

Instant cooling is not true. Cooling is dictated by the pan latent heat, not the heat source.

[@BoulevardHome]

Sorry for the confusion! What we meant was, once you're done cooking and you remove your cookware, the cooktop surface will be cool almost immediately. It's true that the pan will still retain some heat, and if you leave the pan on that heat will still be conducting into the cooktop. Thanks for the comment!

[@tasnimshahid8571]

It's seems like there're cons more than pros

[@BoulevardHome]

That honestly might be true! But we encourage everyone to weigh the pros against the cons in their own lifestyle and choose what's best for them! Certain cons might mean more than certain pros. Thanks for watching!

[@BouncyBrown]

This video didn't mention any pros! I watched another video and they said the pros are: uses less energy, better for the environment, healthier bc no indoor exposure to gas.

[@tasnimshahid8571]

and???@@BouncyBrown

[@edwarddavid7893]

The pros are that ours super fast. Imagine boiling a pot of water in less than 1 minute

[@tasnimshahid8571]

@@edwarddavid7893 i would rather focus more on controlling the heat rather than being agile and support on any appliances whether cheap or expensive.. Lesser on electricity bill than gas bill..

[@JJohnston4Life]

My boss wws showing off one of these and stuck his hand on it and forgot his wedding ring was magnetic

[@BoulevardHome]

Oops! Hopefully it didn't get too hot too quick, haha thanks for sharing!

It turns on and my pan is on the fucking thing and it says it's on the thing then when I fucking go to select the number for heat nothing happens I just want to make eggs Im so fucking hungry 😭

[@BoulevardHome]

Sorry to hear about that! Is there a user manual you have that would be helpful?

[@islandcave8738]

It doesn't work though and the cookware is magnetic

[@BoulevardHome]

Sorry to hear that. What exactly isn't working for you?

[@jeffmcneill]

NefARious, and your editor has the attention span of a squirrel. Too much jump cutting!

[@realKnowItAll]

I hate those

[@BoulevardHome]

Sorry to hear that! What do you hate about them?

[@oskarhagelskjr4390]

Lol of course heat will disperse through the entire pan. Ever heard of thermodynamics?

[@BoulevardHome]

It might a little bit but not enough to be effective cooking. In fact, not even enough to burn someone at the touch, as we tested ourselves. Only the surface directly above the hob got significantly hot.
