Why I Cook With Induction

[@ladygrndr9424]

That wok burner is amazing! I just got a whole induction cooktop delivered this weekend as a replacement for the glasstop electric that cracked. A lot of the reasons you mentioned in the video are why we chose it over gas (plus the expense of routing a new gas line to the kitchen), and everything cooks so fast! But the part I really love is that the glass itself cools so fast after cooking something. The number of times I burnt myself or melted something because I didn't realize the stove was still hot...it's embarrassing. Getting it was also a great excuse to declutter pots and pans, and get down to a few really good ones that will last.

[@atelier27]

Been using induction for over ten years now and wanted to for ten years before that. I will never go back. Thanks for the link to the wok I will be adding that soon. If anyone is looking for a simple single induction burner that is affordable IKEA has a good one. They often sell out.

[@dreammix9430]

I learned about induction cooking a couple of years ago and how beneficial it was and I decided it when I build my house I'm going to have an all induction cooktop installed. Thanks for bringing this to everyone's attention

[@Lostadvent]

My girlfriend and I use to cook all the time together, then we moved into a apartment that had a gas stove and oven. After that it got too hot to cook together, thankfully we have found a new place that has induction and the joy of being able to cook together again is wonderful.

I was shocked to learn that induction isn't as common in other countries as in Sweden, where I live. I'd say every new kitchen since around 2010 has an induction stove, and if it doesn't, it's a very specific preference thing. like someone wanting to go the retro route.

[@NATIK001]

I would say that in Denmark the only places you don't find induction as commonly are low cost non-profit housing, some do have it like where I live, but many places don't do it because of the slightly higher cost of hardware. Almost everywhere else has gone induction a good while back though.

[@philipkoene5345]

In Germany it is very very common. I only know one household among all my friends and family with a gas cooktop - all others have induction.

In us every apt I looked at had them which annoyed me, but it is nice for non wok cooking.

[@ryanboyce3202]

THANK YOU! I recently converted for the exact same reason. Got an air quality monitor and realized everytime I cooked my air quality took massive dips. The environmental impact factor is a solid reason as well. I get shit from friends who see me cook on a portable induction sitting next to my gas stove and feel like I'm always defending it. lol

I was wondering if someone else was going to mention the messiness haha. I noticed the messiness at around 1:30 with the shoyu, but for me it kinda made me smile a bit oddly? the small drops falling on the countertop and against the oil bottle oddly made it seem way more authentic in terms of someone just cooking in their kitchen and not always doing everything perfectly. it’s messy, there’s gonna be cleanup, but it’s cooking at its realest form.

[@kper5592]

I'm obsessed with your induction wok burner.

[@iura_ch]

too bad they don't make those anymore

[@tya04]

A lotta good points to consider. I love my induction burner so much that I remove two of the coils on the range in my apt so my induction can sit there. Though, I'd be cautious about the blanket statement that electric cooking is more environmentally friendly than natural gas. At least in America, two thirds of us get electricity from power plants that burn natural gas or coal, then ~20% nuclear, and the rest is wind/solar/etc. Half the electricity produced at the plant is lost -- dissipated into the atmosphere as heat -- before it gets to your home, and the natural gas or coal burners at the plants are less than 50% efficient. So, if a gas stove is more than 25% efficient, then it's technically a smaller carbon footprint for most of us. Saying that cooking with electricity instead of gas is cleaner, when the power plant burns gas/coal, reminds me of Guy Montag's sieve and the sand. For those with nuclear/wind/solar, yeah, I can see electric totally being cleaner, and increasing that margin as we have been for years sounds grand. My power plant burns gas, but I still love my induction burner!

[@gabrielkind2970]

Interesting analysis. The way I see it, the more we increase the demand for electricity and reduce the demand for gas, the more we incentivize clean energy models financially.

[@anonymouswhite7957]

Agreed, i’d also like to add that the creation of the induction stove itself create a lot more emission than normal gas stove does (mining, processing, and manufacturing considered). In the process of the cooking itself though, induction is cleaner than gas. Also if you are cooking at smoking point temperature (for oil), it’s gonna release the fumes and contaminate the air nonetheless. Achieving wok hei (鑊氣) without polluting the air is almost impossible for this reason alone (and is why i think trying to prove this point while using a smoking hot wok is a bit funny). Energy-wise burnable materials is much more efficient than turning electricity into heat. Clean burning methods also exist with extreme heat like rocket stove or fully combustible material like binchotan charcoal. Ideally, based on a paper of research regarding stoves, the best way to cook in terms of heat, energy, health, and pollution is to have a carefully made woodstove with ventilation (and planting your own firewood trees for the fuel if you have the land for it). Downsides to it i can think of is how it radiates heat warming up the room, and if there is no proper air flow or cleaning it could explode. Honestly with the way the natural law works, it all comes down to a game of choose your poison.

[@neilpickup237]

I first came across induction about 20 years ago and decided there and then that it was probably the way to go. I couldnt afford to make the change at the time and had to stick with my gas hob which was only a few years old (efficiently vented as it was already on an external wall - the vent tube was only the width of the wall!) I also like to cook on gas, because I was used to it, and I liked to see what I was doing. However, from that day, I made sure that any pan I bought was induction compatible to allow me to move over if I wished at a later date without having the expense of lots of new pans. Only one of my pans was actually compatible! (When I moved out, my mother used it as an excuse to update her collection accumulated over 30 years). I moved a few years later to a home where there was no mains gas, and after a few a few weeks of using a ceramic hob, it had to go. I could use it, but oh, the cleaning! Although easier than the old gas hob, it had to be cleaned after every use. Often with a specual liquid, and sometimes a scraper. To be honest, in 15 years of use I haven't noticed any down sides, but I did make sure that I chose a hard wired unit into the existing 32A 240v cooker circuit which was powerful enough to have all the 'burners' on full (although limited to a single burner on each side if on boost). While I love the increased speed over gas, for me, the main advantage has to be the ease of cleaning. In 15 years, nothing has resisted even one of those nylon non stick pads designed for non-stick pans!

[@cinemaocd1752]

Our gas stove died in 2020 and switched to induction and haven't looked back. The main thing I missed was cooking with my wok. I bought a stainless flatbottomed wok for my stove but it just is not as good as my old carbon steele round bottomed wok. I didn't realize there were induction wok burners! That is really cool. Rather than get a new wok, I could just get a new burner!

[@iura_ch]

have you actually found an induction wok burner that you could get for your good old wok?

[@pameladallaire]

Thanks for the video. I was online looking for an iduction cooker today and remembered your video. I'm going to try the one you use. :)

[@BarrieGrieve]

Just one point, not all induction is the same. It's all down to the coil size. I have 4 induction hobs (all portable types) and one concave wok hob type all have relatively small coils (around 180mm) that means all my larger pans and frying pans only heat the central area of the pan. Well, I've found a tabletop induction hob with a massive 270mm ring so my 12inch cast iron skillet will cook evenly which will be awesome.

[@jayaychare7318]

[@ginjeff]

I replaced our gas cooktop with an induction one a year and a half ago, after reading the scientific studies and getting an indoor air quality sensor. I knew my pop up vent system wasn't working well. I had to have some circuit panel upgrades to support this, an EV charger and new heat pump. Our gas cooktop was always dirty, this is a lot cleaner and we can clean grease spatters as we go. We only sacrificed a few pots and pans, ones we rarely used. Everything else was induction ready, so people who claim they have to replace all their cookware probably haven't tried a magnet yet! (Or it's a good excuse to get new) I did have to get a new flat bottom wok to replace my 40 year old round one. This wok burner looks interesting. BTW, Microsoft's new campus is all electric and they designed new large scale 30kW wok burners for the cafeterias.

[@phiksit]

Yeah, I thought I would have to get a gas burner to really use my flat bottom wok properly.

[@TanukiOfficial]

Induction bundles the best of gas and electric cooktops: ▪︎ Like gas, when you want heat, you get immediate heat and when you want the heat off, the heat is immediately off. ▪︎ Like electric, if you want consistent low temperatures to keep food warm, induction is perfect. You can use an induction hub to see if you would like an induction cooktop, but I will tell you that cooktops are 100 times better than the hubs. The power is greater and the the burners are now even heading. If you like a hub, you will love a cooktop. Clean up is so important to me. I never want to try to clean a boil over me again on a gas cooktop. I don't want to have to take the gas burner and grating apart to clean up every again. I am really looking at getting an induction wok like Jon. It looks fantastic.

[@lorainehayes]

I love my induction hob it's so much better than the glass top one I had. I highly recommend switching to this

[@kefiraofmasbolle]

I also have an induction stove but the trick is that it’s so old and has to be turned on for a while in order to get hot 😅 but I agree, it’s definitely better for the environment, for those of us who can afford to use one 🙃

[@ultru3525]

You sure it isn't a glass-ceramic cooktop? They look almost identical to induction stoves, but turn red when turned on because they use infrared radiation instead of magnets.

[@rl9056]

There are no gas lines where I live because it's the tropics. Heating isn't needed and most kitchens used to be outdoors. Growing up we used charcoal, gas from huge cylinders and even kerosene for cooking. Adoption for induction came pretty fast for those of us in urban areas because new indoor kitchens were smaller and reserving under cabinet space for huge gas cylinders was just annoying. Ordering new gas cylinders was also getting more troublesome as more women entered the workforce making it harder to arrange home delivery and cylinder exchange during working hours. Nowadays gas is mostly only used by those in rural areas where electricity might not be super stable.

[@davehysom2636]

I'm just learning about induction cooking; ordered a one-burner to see what this whole things about. For the past two decades I've suffered with one of those glass-top electrics. Last year I moved, and the new (for me) house has a gas stove. YES!!!! Then I learned about the environmental hazards. Bottom line: I REALLY like cooking with gas; will see how it I like induction. (Hint: since I drive an electric car and motorcycle, and have replaced all bulbs in my house with color LEDs, I'm guessing I will)

My guess is that he's using a 240v version of this wok. In North America the 120v outlets only provide about 1500 watts (10 to 15 amps) which is somewhat low (especially for a wok). For reference, 1500 watts is roughly 5100 BTU/hr. Gas ranges usually will have burners between 5000 and 20000 BTU/hr.

I absolutely love cooking on my induction hob so much that in my home country in South Asia, where there is no gas or so low you can't stir fry anything. I live in Germany right now and i'm going to import 2-3 Induction stoves and 1 specialized induction wok hob into my kitchen. the excess stoves will be as replacements because you can't buy the larger induction stoves there. Also when you pair the stoves onto my 30kw solar system I have on the house, the savings become clearer and clearer.

Hey Jon, I've had a bit of trouble with warping on my electric glasstop stove. What kind of pans are you using to reliably avoid that? Specifically looking for a stainless steel saute pan, as I already have an okay carbon steel skillet (a bit of warping but usable).

[@TanukiOfficial]

I'm not Jon 😊, but I use All-Clad stainless steel. Construction is impeccable, and 15 years later, it looks good as new. All-Clad has non-stick as well. Lately, I've been using cast iron skillets for most of my cooking, and I love it. I use the Lodge brand of cast iron. It's really inexpensive and indestructible. I had the cast iron for 12 years and rarely used them because I was afraid of how to clean and keep them seasoned. I just watched a lot of videos and realized I can was them with soap, and all I have to do after washing them is to heat them on the cooktop until dry and then lightly season them, wait for them to cook and put them away. Edit: I even cook scrambled eggs in my car iron. The secret to non stick cooking in cast iron, stainless, and grills is to put the butter/oil on the cooking surface. Let it get hot - don't burn anything - and the oil will create a nonstick surface. For cast iron I set the heat on 4 and let it heat for 3 minutes. Your eggs won't stick. The only drawback with All-Clad and cast iron is that they are heavy. That is a consideration. America's Test Kitchen has video reviews on cookware, so they will offer more options.

No, the fluctuating magnetic field INDUCES a fluctuating electric field in the pan, which heats the pan. The heat is still coming from outside of whatever you're trying to cook, so cooks from the outside in, just like a gas stove.

Great video and that chopping board is massive What brand of Chinese choppers do you use?

I use 2 nuwave single burner induction burners for all my cooking.

[@raymondleung9271]

Where did you find a tabletop induction plate with a concave surface for a wok? All the ones I seen are flat.

[@klauswigsmith]

We switched from gas to induction last year and we don't regret it ONE BIT. Gas literally sucks compared to induction. Induction is better in every way. Gas sucks. Induction rules.

Besides the whole climate change bs, induction burners are pretty convenient to have on hand for a quick stirfry in small kitchens.

[@SADrummer1287]

Do you have two separate induction cookers (one flat and one for your wok) or is there a wok attachment for the flat one?

[@sneakerbabeful]

Lodge makes a flat bottom 14inch cast iron wok that works great with an induction flattop.

[@jestenaguirre9108]

It does make sense to use induction stoves.. it’s a better use of the power we receive from the power companies.

[@codygosney976]

Why is that, are they more energy efficient?

[@jestenaguirre9108]

@@codygosney976 yes..

I hate coil electric stove tops. But that seems to be all landlords give tenants these days. Do you think I would be better off with covering the stove top and using a portable induction cooktop? Will I use less electricity or more do you think? I live alone so I am just cooking for myself.

[@IvanChesnokov925]

You would likely be better off, and I'm pretty sure if you had the cash your landlord wouldn't be opposed to letting you swap out the unit you currently have with a new one.

What brand of induction cooktop do you use?

[@langhya]

we also transitioned to induction cookers after that one time with a possibly broken gas range, the flame shot up high and big that we got scared as a family for possible explosions. or our house burning. the only downside is that you can't cook if there is no electricity, and that's when you whip up a small one with a butane orrr get some charcoal. also love the ease of cleaning. you don't get that with the gas range.

[@denisesheehan9189]

What is the plug in wok burner that you used in the video?

[@cmfreako234]

How do you use clay/earthenware pots on your induction cooktops? I’m thinking of converting, but I can’t let go of my collection

[@sneakerbabeful]

You can't use clay or earthenware pots with induction . Only ferrous metal, like cast iron or carbon steel.

[@hungder]

do you have recomendations for the knives you use?

[@ajvnice]

can you give links for induction burners for woks? I've been looking for an option like that

[@tristantheafflicted]

It's annoying you can't get the portable concave induction stoves in Australia, not without crazy shipping fees. I'd love one since I basically can't use a wok on my old fashioned electric stove.
