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.

I got curious and Googled around a bit. It looks to me like as long as one buys a name brand product and uses decent cookware, there are no negative results with induction range tops. It looks like these range tops save a lot of money. They; along with special cookware are just a bit expensive.

I have heard that it is recommended that people with pacemakers are supposed to stay 2 feet away from an induction cooktop and I assume if I had such a device I maybe wouldn't buy one, but apart from that I never heard they damage anything else. As for price I really can't say because we are in Canada. The GE Café line is their premium line, we paid I believe a bit over $4,000 for our stove back in 2019 and I assume given how much more expensive things have become in the last year or two that the price for an equivalent current model might be a bit higher, but how much it is in the US I really can't say, would be easy to find out though, just check online or call a store which sells GE appliances and ask.I wouldn't be surprised however if it were at least $3,000 US or a bit more. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of bentleyj1...@gmail.com Sent: Sunday, May 29, 2022 11:21 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Wi-Fi ovens Out of curiosity, do induction stove tops damage wrist watches while stirring the contents of pots and pans? Also, Can you give me a very rough price for your setup in U. S. dollars?

We bought a GE stove from their Café series and the app is useable although could be better. You can also integrate with Alexa if you wish. The only thing which has to be marked and this may have changed with newer models, is the "WiFi Enable" button. It is on the oven's touch screen and you do have to first tap it before the app will connect. However, I set this up 3 years ago and it has never not connected once the WiFi enable was tapped. The oven we chose has actually two ovens, one smaller upper oven which is still perfectly big enough for a pizza, sheet cake and many other things and then the full-size lower oven. Advanced functions like convection bake, roast and so on are only available for the lower oven, but we definitely use the upper oven a lot more. The control for the cooktop are nice knobs which I think are still best as it makes frequent small changes much easier. There are 4 areas on the cooktop and a fifth warming plate and on the left side you can combine the front and back for one larger heating area and of course induction is the most efficient and fastest cooking method. I recently read an article which stated that gas stoves and cooktops actually emit a lot of air pollution into the house and whereas an induction cooktop is 85% efficient, gas is 35% efficient. Then of course there is the advantage that it is really difficult to burn yourself, of course while you are cooking the oil or water you are heating is just as hot, and while the cooktop is hot right after you remove a pot or pan, if you just briefly touch it you won't even burn yourself then and about 2 minutes later it's already cool enough to touch and clean. Lastly, if something boils over it won't get all burned in and cleaning the stove top is super easy. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Kellie Sent: Sunday, May 29, 2022 9:27 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Wi-Fi ovens Hey Al, hope you all are doing well. I had a question and thought I’d come out here and ask for input. We are in the market for a new oven and we have seen that they have some Wi-Fi models available. Does anyone know if any of these have an accessible app that will work with voiceover? My husband and I are both totally blind. I should also mention that we are looking for a gas oven if that makes a difference. Thanks so much in advance.
