If you don't already know, cooking with stainless you need to preheat the pan, without oil. Once it's toasty, you can test by throwing a few droplets of water on it and if it balls ups and rolls around, it's ready, if the water sizzles out, it's not hot enough. Sauteeing some veggies, high heat oil like Sunflower, or Canola, is helpful. You can use Olive oil, but it will burn quicker and have to watch it closely. When completely dry (no water balls) add oil, and wait until you see a shimmer, it's the point right before you see a little smoke. At this point your pan is ready for veggies, eggs, whatever. It won't be like a non-stick pan, but sticking will be minimal when preheated correctly. You can see the water test here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXOQhHZ3ZteYp6c

If you've got those fans going and no windows or doors open, that will stress the fan-motors. Some like a bit of fresh air in the night while sleeping, but want them secured as well. Also nice to have some opened slightly while traveling to get some good fresh air pushed through the van. I supposed the front door windows could be used, but no lavender infused screens for those!

My induction hob (IH) is dual ring, one 1800watt max and one 1000watt max. I start cooking on the high power ring then simmer on the lower power ring. Also I usually use Le Creuset cookware - heavy cast iron, which are much less likely to burn. One great advantage of IH is that little residual heat is produced. Another is that they`re much safer with auto shut-off and not much heat left when the pan is removed so if you accidentally leave a flammable item on the hob it will not ignite.

It is such a pleasure watching someone with your level of competency. It looks like the induction burner has a learning curve; I still like the fine-tuning of a fire-burner. About those ceiling screws - it gives an industrial look - is that what you want? Then again, I belong to the screws-out-of-sight school of interior design :-) The sliding cabinet doors are practical and aesthetic, and they are easy to remove. The only problem I anticipate with cabinet sliders is they will rattle when going down the road, and why are sliders always thinner than hinged cabinet doors ....
@HumbleRoad5 жыл бұрын
Yes, I like showing the screws for an industrial look. A nice contrast to the more delicate features of the decor. I will be using a rubber gasket to prevent the sliding doors from rattling. They are thinner than hinged doors because they occupy depth in the cabinet, rather than sitting out on the outer surface of the cabinet.

For the inside bottom of your cabinet (the floor) you could cut a dado/groove/channel into the bottom piece (front and back edges) and then insert a piece of wood that extends into the channel in the 8020. That would give you a clean-not-going-to-move-on-you bottom. Gravity will keep it in place. No need for Velcro!

How about using a small and unobtrusive cabinet latch on the ceiling to hold the door open? Of course buyers will want gas struts because they haven't put anything in the cabinet yet.

I want that door to pull open and stay open in one motion. Not; open, then latch.

Perfect job George! The pan/pot situation sounds easily fixable. May I ask Where did you buy those Phillips bolts?

The SS screws and decorative washers were special ordered at a specialty screw store! Very special!

In my humble opinion, the induction stove tops all do this burning in the middle on the bottom thing. I don’t want propane so I’m at a loss as to how to solve it.
