Ok, that explains what I read about pans for this type of cooking are made with a very high iron content. I didn't see the thing about the burner not coming on. Makes sense. Thanks. Good thing I don't have a bigger kitchen. I would have to get one just to mess with it.

It is also an electric stove with a flat top. With the induction top, you can turn the burner on but it won't heat up unless there is a pan on it. The trick is that the pan which is on the burner has to be made of a material that attracts magnets. The magnetic material itself is part of the burner. If you take a small handheld magnet and put it against the bottom of the pan you want to use, you will know the pan will work on the burner if the magnet will stic to the pan's bottom. I'm afraid if I owned a stove like that I'd need to buy some pans to go with it. I have a few but not enough.

Two peoples separated by a common language. It looks to me like an induction hob in the UK is an electric stovetop here in the United States. Can anybody tell me if this is correct? -----Original Message----- From: Cookinginthedark <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Samuel Wilkins via Cookinginthedark Sent: Wednesday, July 15, 2020 12:37 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Samuel Wilkins <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [CnD] Question about Making Pikelets Hello Diane, a pikelet is different to a regular pancake in several ways. It's also known as a Scottish pancake, and they are much smaller. They are around three to four inches in diameter, and are thicker and heavier than standard pancakes. An induction hob is a hob the transmits heat directly onto the base of a pan, which makes it less likely that you'll burn yourself. Thus, if I had an induction hob skillet, I could use it to do light frying much more safely. I use a talking induction hob from Cobolt systems, I don't know if those ones are available in the US. Hope that helps. On 15/07/2020 15:32, diane.fann7--- via Cookinginthedark wrote: > Hi, Samuel, > > What distinguishes pikelets from regular pancakes?
