I’ve been really happy with my berghoff induction burner but it doesn’t have probes or anything like that. It does have some kind of temperature setting thing but I’ve never used it so I don’t know what it does.

Did it do that with all your pans? I have one small pot that does that on my induction burner, possibly due to a warped base.

Yeah I tried three different ones and then my dad's burner too. Maybe it's just the design

Were they laminated layers, like all-clad? One review I saw said that was the culprit.

Has anyone bought a tramontina enameled cast iron dutch oven in the past year or so? They had really good reviews before but they discontinued the existing models and a bunch of reviews on the newer ones make it sound like they've cheaped out in various ways (like they're way thinner now).

‘standard’ stainless steel cookware is definitely laminated or encapsulated, which is the same thing

Does anyone have experience with the polyscience control freak? It fascinates me. It's not something I have money for right now at all, but if i'm someday in the market for a range, maybe i could shunt some of my budget into one.

I’ve got one, it’s great but it makes a hell of a racket between its fans and metal pans making odd noises. Works as advertised though, really great for lazy cooking and making effortless things that involve precision temperature. It’s been the ultimate piece of my tamogayaki puzzle.

Sorry if this is a weird tangent but that thing reminds me of something I haven't thought about in a year or two.

I worked in a Chinese diner (in Canada) as one of my first legal jobs in high school, I was a dishwasher (everyone should have this experience) but right beside me in the kitchen were three cast iron woks that sat recessed in a stainless steel counter with three corresponding circular holes. The insane jet burners were under the counter, but the one on the far left would periodically somehow lose spark if it wasn't in use at full blast, and would leak natural gas/propane/who knows into the closed space under the counter. When that gas reached the flame of one of the other two wok pilot lights the resulting ignition would pop all three woks momentarily up a few inches and sometimes knock the flame out of the other two, so it was my job whenever it happened to open the cabinets and check if they had flame and then to try to communicate this to the other staff who didn't share a language with me and would generally just indicate that I shouldn't worry so much about things.

I went on later in life to work a lot of jobs such as operating a lathe/mill, doing general construction, etc, and to date that kitchen job is the one that was most likely to have ended me at any moment. The business no longer exists and I often wonder what the rest of the staff got up to. Oh yeah I made $6/hr and this was in the early 00s.

I'm going to hope there was some kind of spring loaded valve in the connector that opens when you've screwed it on enough to be safe.

Or they turned the gas on at the main/wall/wherever when they made the cut in the video.

I jumped on this, despite not cooking a lot of meat. It just so happens that it was delivered yesterday just in time for a small grilling get together I had for my father's birthday today.

Best single burner, 120v induction hot plate under $300? Preferred something with some brains (and a probe?) for hotpot and fry oil temperature control.

Duxtop seems popular but that could just be good marketing.

This is for cooking on the patio. I'm going to do an Ooni 16 for pizza and broiling veggies, induction for everything else. I'm looking forward to smokey sears and messy frying outside!

Ugh now I am falling for the NuWave Gold infomercial hype. Anyone have direct experience? I can't find a serious cook's review anywhere. I like the look of it for the larger range of temperature and the ability to simmer longer than 90 minutes, as I don't have any other slow cooker.

Also best infrared thermometer that goes to 1000°F for that pizza oven? I'm aware that emissivity and reflectivity impact readings.

Recommendations for an immersion blender that comes with a chopping bowl attachment and isn't made out of cheap plastic? The plastic nubs on ours wore out. I don't mind paying a little extra so long as it is reliable.

It'll be used as an all-purpose blender, albeit mostly for smoothing out soup and grinding up spices/ginger/dried shiitake etc.

E: Ideally we would also have a proper blender but there isn't space in our tiny kitchen for more.

Good to hear, I was just looking at a Bamix and thought it was encouraging that they also sold replacement parts. Don't think we've ever made a smoothie but wait for my post next year when I decide I need new toys for just that.

Dammit my wife likes the look of a 22 cu ft fridge better than the 26 cu ft which also fits the space. The bigger one is $750 cheaper :negative:

Are there decent 240v 2 burner induction cooktops? I'm probably going to move into an apartment with an electric stove and I dont want to use it. This way I could take advantage of the 240v plug that's already there instead of using the one other (?) 120v circuit. Duxtop only makes 120v as far as I can tell.

with the understanding that you won’t get to use the oven without flipping the breaker and plugging it back in

you should be able to find some commercial induction units that fit the bill. or even just one good one and then a 110v consumer plate since it’s not that likely imo that you’re gonna need two units at once at such full power.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



I typically cook with either cast iron or nonstick pans, but just bought a stainless steel one for the first time.

On my first use, I immediately got these stains all over the surface that I can’t get out. I had cooked some shrimp on medium heat that had a marinade with tequila and lime in it, would the alcohol or acid ruin the finish like that?

I’ve tried cleaning with baking soda and it doesn’t seem to help.

Looks like minerals deposits. Maybe from the tequila or something in the marinade. Try wiping it down with white vinegar.

Bar Keepers Friend is the answer, but I'll suggest the alternative of just making the same thing like six more times to even it out, then just live with it.

Like if having sparkly pans is a quality of life thing for you, cool, not trying to talk you out of it. Just making the point that it's perfectly normal for stainless to (despite the name) get discoloured over time and it isn't a moral failing or whatever to not scrub them spotless every time you cook.

One of the things to try is to put baking soda on it and then put a small amount of water in as well. Then you boil off all the water until it leaves a film of baking soda on the surface. When you scrub off the baking soda, that does a really good job of taking the stains out.
