RE: Wi-Fi ovens
How much you save is questionable, it depends a lot on how much you cook. I am sure there are statistics on that as well. You can also buy less expensive induction ranges, just as with electric and gas you can buy something for probably $1,200 or $1,500 and you can buy something which is twice that much and you can of course buy a Miele range for $8,000 or even more. If you have to replace all your cookware you can easily spend $300 at a minimum and if like me you like premium cookware then it's many times that much, I have frypans or single pots which cost $200. But the fact remains that in my opinion any induction range offers a superior cooking experience than a regular electric or gas range at the same price. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of bentleyj1...@gmail.com Sent: Wednesday, June 1, 2022 9:25 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Wi-Fi ovens Thanks Sieghard for your response.

RE: Wi-Fi ovens
Hi Kelly, Induction applies only to the cooktop not an oven where a heating element heats up the space either with electricity or gas. Yes, an induction cooktop is completely flat and for a blind person unmarked. I have learned to position my pots and pans based on distance from the side edges and the front or back, but this may not work for everybody. I assume you can probably mark this somehow, the nice thing is that even while it is heating up you can touch the cooktop, the pot or frypan will get hot, but the cooktop which will get hot directly underneath a pot is not super hot even an inch beside it. Another nice thing is that if you take the pot or frypan off and you forget to turn it off nothing happens, it will get cold just the same as if you had turned it off because heat is only transferred into your cookware if it sits on the cooktop. I would actually be interested to know if others who are completely blind and have induction cooktops have done any sort of marking and if so what they used. Yes, you may have to buy new cookware, but it depends on what you have now. If you have anything made from cast iron or, for example, a carbon steel wog, those will work fine. Inexpensive aluminum cookware will not, but then again you probably shouldn't be using that anyways, not very healthy. I think it would be best if you went to a good appliance store or maybe go to a couple and ask them to show you what they have, not sure, but in a larger city they may even have demo models set up which they can turn on. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Kellie Sent: Monday, May 30, 2022 6:09 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Wi-Fi ovens I heard of induction stoves but I’m not very familiar with them.

If so, do you have to buy all new pots and pans? Sorry for all the questions but just curious since we are looking into this and want to definitely get something that will work for us. I most definitely would love if possible to have Wi-Fi though for sure I’m going to spend a little extra because that way we don’t have to worry about trying to label everything and then if the label falls etc. Kellie and my lovable Lady J Sent from my iPhone > On May 30, 2022, at 7:47 AM, Kay Malmquist wrote: > > Sieghard, > I am so glad you brought up Induction cook tops stoves.

RE: Wi-Fi ovens
How quickly the response is depends a bit on the quality of your cookware, e.g. how thick it is and how many layers of material it is made from. With an induction cooktop heat is generated not by heating a heating element embedded in the stove top which then in turn heats a pot or frypan through its bottom, but it is done by a magnetic field which heats the pot, frypan or whatever you have. Of course one also has to keep in mind that not all pots and pans can be used on an induction cooktop, make sure if you buy anything it says it is good for induction stoves and if you already have pots and pans just test them with a magnet, if they are magnetic chances are they will work.

Re: Wi-Fi ovens
I think I have heard that Ge has some ovens that they have templets you can put on so it is easier to use them.

Sieghard, I am so glad you brought up Induction cook tops stoves. They are definitely my new favorite. One thing that I don't think you mentioned is that the temperature response is just as good as cooking with a gas stove. When you turn it down the temperature drops immediately.
