This was a great demonstration about the induction pads.

[@zbluebox]

Have the same range and pads. Glad to know I can use the higher temps with them. Love the control of induction. I will never go back to gas.

[@Linus007]

Thank you for watching. We have subjected them to high temperatures and they performed well.

[@vanessaffd]

I'm considering purchasing an induction range. Thank you for the demonstration.

[@Linus007]

Thank you for the comment. You will enjoy the induction range. I use it every day and it works very well. The induction pads are holding up very well too.

[@keokukia9800]

This is an excellent video and I hadn't even looked for these pads until now. I've been using a sheet of parchment paper for frying or anything that spatters. Slight discoloration of the paper sometimes but I like that I can throw the paper away and there are no streaks from trying to get everything clean. I've seen the disc you can use inside a non-ferrous pan to boil things. I searched Amazon and found a square pad by this company that is large enough to cover almost th eentire single burner I have. I'm so glad the algorithym popped this one up for me. Thanks for taking the time to make the video.

[@Linus007]

Thank you for watching. We like the discs. I would not recommend the pad that covers the entire stove, unless you can see through the pad.

Thanks for the video and replying to viewers questions. Im moving to a new place in the near future God's willing. I noticed a ceramic or induction type hob. I being British Born, personally prefer gas but happy tp switch for environmental reaaons. The hob is already installed so i won't be able to replace it. I was very concerned about the heavy stainless steel pots and pans i use. I cook for a big family and guests. I was looking for aomto keep the stove tops scratch free. Id searched and comes across lots of info. Now as long as what i only saw in a picture from a friend who visited the property, if induction ill be buying theses mats to use. I'm not going to buy new pans and don't qant to damage the surface, so this is a relief. Thanks for your time and clarity in the matter.

[@dijaworldworld3895]

I I got my induction 4 months ago and I absolutely love it! My only problem is food splashing on my backsplash but I guess I should use lids more.

[@Linus007]

Thank you for watching and commenting. Lids work very well. Baking parchment paper works well too. You can line the top of the stove with it and cook on the parchment. When done, remove the parchment paper and the mess along with it.

[@christinamarie4002]

Because this appliance is an electric range with induction surface elements, the oven section is just like any other electric range. That vent is where the oven vents. You can buy induction cooking units that are not part of a range. Therefore, you wouldn’t have a vent to avoid.

[@Linus007]

[@PB-mr4ze]

Thanks, the pads look like they would do a good job protecting the cooktop from scratches. I’ve seen that here are issues about carbon steel pans warping on induction cooktops. I wonder if the pads would moderate the heat transfer enough to lessen the risk?

[@Linus007]

We have not had any warping issues, we also never hear empty pans on high heat. We reserve high for pots and pans that have something in them.

[@Toomanydays]

In my testing: Time to boil 1 cup water, 50 seconds without mat, 70 seconds with mat.

Thank you for the video. Have you had any issues with the fan in the back? I'm concerned with overflowing of liquid or any splashes into he fan.

[@Linus007]

No issues so far. We are pretty careful about getting anything into the vents. My last oven had event in the same section. Probably the most important thing is not to cover it.

Can you use these at full power on your induction range? Like when you are frying? Thanks for sharing!!

[@Linus007]

Yes. It is possible to use the full power. You probably do not need it so high. At this high powers, the frying oil might smoke and break down.

[@gdemirjian]

I enjoyed your video and subscribed. How is induction cost on electric bill verses similar usage with gas cost??

[@Linus007]

I cannot easily compare because I have not tested the difference, but the studies that I have read are showing that induction is more efficient than any of the other methods. Right now the cost per unit of energy is lower for natural gas in my region. I am estimating that the electrical cost versus the gas cost to cook a meal is very close with the induction winning. We have it for the immense amount of control and the capability to quickly heat a pan.

[@SylwerDragon]

Nice one but i wouldn't worry about water boiling.. I would like to see how it would stand against lets say steak or similar high temperature high heat situation where there is little to no help and oil inside go above 200 degree that is what i would like to see..btw it was interesting to see those kind of pads even exists to be honest.

[@Linus007]

As long as there is something in the pan, the temperature does not increase to the melting point for these pads. I did a video that has a pressure cooker being used for over 30 minutes. Additionally, I have cooked steaks and hamburgers on a griddle without any severe issues. An empty pan on the very high setting burn these pads.

[@SylwerDragon]

@@Linus007 yeah when on 9 is it gets super hot super fast..i don't use 9 mostly up to 8 is fine

[@rameking1]

How do the induction pads impact the efficiency? If I understand correctly, induction's effectiveness decreases proportionate to the distance from its target. Neither silicon nor nylon are conductive, so those substances aren't helping the induction process. Just putting a barrier between the pot and the glass.

[@Linus007]

Good question. We have not noticed any change in effectiveness. Also, our stove is scratch free.

[@tjam4229]

I believe they have big sheets of silicone that cover the entire induction cooktop. Easier to keep clean. You just wipe it clean.

[@Linus007]

If they are translucent enough to see where you put the pans, then it would be very helpful! Thanks for commenting.

[@albernal6653]

good vid but he missed the opportunity to see if the mats impede the transfer of heat ie would the water have come to a boil more quickly without the mat? There are pans that would not scratch the glass but are magnetic so are induction compatible. I'm in the market for an induction range and efficiency is certainly a pro as compared to a regular electric range. I guess he simply wants to plug his product

[@Linus007]

These are not my products. I purchased them, and then realized how useful they are to others and wanted to give a demonstration of them. These pads are virtually invisible to the electromagnetic fluctuations made by the induction stove. The potential for attenuation is not something that I have observed in different boiling times.

[@waqasahmed939]

06:54 It's interesting how your gas cookers have become a part of your culture wars Over here, the main reason why people still have gas cookers is because gas is four times cheaper than electricity . When electricity costs 30p/kWh (Double what it used to be), most people aren't in a hurry to switch over despite induction cookers being more efficient due to the price difference between gas / electricity. Induction cookers are however only cheaper if you've got solar panels + batteries + a smart meter that allows you to say import at a cheaper price and then export your battery at a more expensive price than you imported it at. For people like us, induction cookers end up working out cheaper to run, but not necessarily cheaper to buy. My ideal is to completely ditch gas and then I wouldn't pay £100/year on standing charges too but it's a slow, expensive process

[@Linus007]

Thank you so much for your comment. I think that you are spot on with your ideas and observations. Regarding the culture wars, we (this channel) focus on the facts, and do not pay attention to the politicians who have no idea what they are talking about. Our focus is to ensure that we do not trample on the rights of others. We wish that our society focuses on self improvement as a priority then focus on what they can offer to others in terms of ideas and enhancements for our society. Our wish is that someday we come to a method that does not excessively harm our environment and it is economically viable for everyone who uses our vital infrastructure. You bring up a great point. Our portable gas stoves have been so important when we have lost power. When we travel, they are extremely useful. When we camp, they are extremely useful. We love the option of having a gas line to choose a different stove in the future. we like gas stoves very much. They are a pleasure to use. With the induction stove, we found that it is even more convenient and responsive. You are right on the solar panels as well. During power outages, we use the portable stoves, or potentially the portable induction stove, but that requires a generator to be running.. What we like most about the induction stove is that it is not excessively hot after finishing a meal on the stove. It is nice to take a hot pan off of the stove and not burn our fingers if we come into contact with areas near the burners. Take a look around on my KZbin channel. We have a pretty interesting video called gas cornucopia. showed and demonstrated several gas stoves. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGWyY5atlMRlfpIsi=Cxqals_Wjxh2Xqe4

[@realityandnaturepill]

There are some cheaper good quality brands for induction like Klarstein, Bosch, Inventum and Whirlpool. A 60 cm (24') wide model for 4 pots shouldn't cost you more than 500 dollars. The issue with all cooktops in my opinion is that they are too small if you have several large pots, my solution was to get some seperate induction plates which you can place on the counter anywhere, you only need a few outlets and they are so small you can store them in a small drawer.

[@Linus007]

@@realityandnaturepill thank you for the suggestion. We have a separate induction plate that was used as try before you buy. We use it outdoors when something with a lot of odor needs to be cooked. We also take it on road trips with us and use it to make breakfast in the mornings and hotels.

[@jeffclark5268]

Burning a glaze on your pan is not seasoning it…

[@Linus007]

@@jeffclark5268 not sure what to mean but thank you for way.

[@christinamarie4002]

Technically, that pan is not empty. It is coated with a layer of oil from when you seasoned it. That’s what was smoking. Most cooking appliances use conduction for heat transfer. I.e. flame (or element) touches the pan thereby transferring the heat, then the pan heats up which then touches and heats the food. This type of heat transfer is ‘conduction’. With induction, It’s actually the other way around. The induction element uses a pan to create a magnetic field around the food. This food heats then that heat transfers to the pan because they are touching each other, then the heat from the pan may heat the glass surface because they are also touching each other. You know how cold is a result of slowing down the vibration of the molecules? Like water becomes a solid (ice) when the vibration slows dramatically. Then water can become a gas (steam) when its molecules are excited, caused to vibrate much more quickly, eventually flying away from each other. Induction uses the pan to creat a magnetic field that excites the molecules in the food itself, thus making the food ‘hot’. This is one of the reasons it’s more efficient cause you lose a lot of heat from conduction transferring.

[@Linus007]

Thank you for watching the video, and your comments.

[@buddygoodlet1112]

With all due respect, this is entirely incorrect. The magnetic field heats only ferrous materials. The field heats the pan, which heats the food. The cooking process is via conduction. A microwave oven will excite water molecules and long chain fat molecules to cause heating but the induction stove will not. It might induce a current into any iron in your food but more than 99% of the mass of your food will be non-ferrous.

[@robertkat]

Paper towel is better and cheaper. Those mats are a waste of money.

[@Linus007]

Paper towels do work at lower temperatures. I have noticed at higher temperatures they start to turn brown. These mats will be around after 20 years of use. I feel that that is better versus the waste of paper towels. Less waste. A better option for you would be to use baking parchment paper. It will resist the heat better.
