    I wonder how low these can go while keeping the induction coil "element" on. My stovetop at home starts pulsing the coil at level 5 and below, annoying because you can't have a nice low heat simmer, it will come on and off, boiling what you're cooking for ten seconds then turning off for twenty and then starting again.

        Having had all cooking types - There is really nothing better for the control it gives you - hence the old saying "we're cooking with gas"… instantly dispatchable FIRE as humans have cooked with for hundreds of years without the hassle and lower concentrated heat of wood…

        Pity gas has been found to be harmful to you and your family to have the fumes in your house, plus worse for the environment and all

            @jv: As in all fossil fuels are dirty but some are more dirty than others…?

            The gas industry marketing has done it's job.

            Gas stoves release pm2.5 particulates (often pm0.1) and NOx gases when lit into your home. You could filter the particulates but you'd need to be outside of the room for filtering to take effect and NOx often remains in the house long after the stove is turned off.
            Btw, methane gas is 32 times more potent than co2 as a green house gas.

          old saying "we're cooking with gas"

          That isn't an old saying, it's an old advertising slogan.

            @greatlamp: It’s an old advertising slogan that became a common saying, like “just do it” or “not happy Jan” or “I can’t believe it’s not ___” or (if you’re old enough to remember) “Clayton’s ____”.

              @ak47wong: Yes, my point is that an 'old saying' implies the origin was traditional knowledge, not to simply share useless trivia as if that is a sign of intelligence.

              Understanding that it originated from a marketing campaign changes it's interpretation. It is not evidence of gas being long held as the pinnacle cooking fuel, which is implied when you state it is 'an old saying'.

                @greatlamp: It may have originated from an advertising slogan, but as documented in the Cambridge dictionary, it is established as an idiom which means it advanced well beyond an advertising program. My father used it extensively, it was one of his favourites (given he was not in advertising, nor the gas industry, and used it on anything to do with making progress or doing something well, and never anything literally to do with gas or its sale). So sorry to be frank, but I couldn't give a flying f@rk about its origins (which wasn't even in this country. so wouldn't have stuck here had it not become a popularised saying due to the truth in it), it has a clearly defined meaning of progress and doing something well, which would never have become popular if it was a poor way of cooking - no matter how much advertising you throw at it. It stuck, because it is true. All idioms/expressions/sayings have origins. So that leads me back to my point, which is an opinion I did not form because of an advertising slogan, idiom / saying or otherwise - my point was formed from having both electric forms and gas cooking over the years, and gas cooking is so much better functionally for the chef… so it is unfortunate about its downsides and will eventually go the way of asbestos, leaded fuel, and now silica in benchtops - which had great functional properties, but obviously killed people - see below:

                  @MrFrugalSpend: As I said before, I did not intend to get into an argument of semantics, but to highlight how pervasive the effects of advertising are.

                  It also doesn't help that the gas industry continues to advertise in various forms, including lobbying via their pet liberal party politicians. (You can't pretend both sides are taking the bribes when Labor has banned gas in new builds).

                  Regardless, with the introduction of induction technology the advantages of gas no longer exist. Most people haven't experienced an induction cooktop connected to 3 phase power so the old views persist. Heats up faster than gas, you have control of the intensity of heat which isn't possible with gas, and has no emissions within the home

                  • MrFrugalSpend on 07/06/2024 - 07:47

                    @greatlamp: … but yet you started an argument of semantics. None of this needed happen, you took aim at me for using the word "saying" and essentially argued I was brainwashed by advertising that I never saw as (1) it was before I was even born; and (2) in another country.
                    Just because we are all pretentious eco-warriors these days, doesn't mean we should deny that things became popular in the past as they had great benefits (before we understood the downsides), and get our knickers in a knot over anything to do with it. (Are you going to tell me knickers in a knot was an advertising slogan too?) Advertising promoted the benefits of gas cooking - it became very popular around the world because of the benefits.

                    Whereas if you understand the current issues with the power grid, and extreme difficulties the adoption of solar has put on the transition from sun shining to peak demand in the evening when cooking is occurring - then we absolutely need gas as a transition technology as it is (1) Dispatchable; and (2) cleaner than coal.

                    We have not been able to build anywhere near enough storage to get around this problem. The Lithium ion battery farms as a solution are expensive, risky for fire, short life-span and therefore far from perfect, and with the contaminants in them like cobalt, probably shouldn't be the long-term solution either. We can't build enough pumped hydro and that has other environmental issues.

                    More people switching to "3 phase powered" induction cooktops where they draw a lot of power to heat up quick makes this problem worse unless you use it when solar is producing at its peak, which most people don't.

                    I agree a good induction cooktop has meant acceptable options are now available to replace gas cooking, whereas I previously would never have gone away from gas. I've already had a very expensive dedicated power lead run into my kitchen when I had renovations done to take one in future… but haven't gone there yet. I went with ducted ventilation upgrade for the gas fumes instead for now.
                    Local storage for my solar needs to get cheap enough before this is the better option.

                    • greatlamp on 07/06/2024 - 09:48

                      @MrFrugalSpend: I understand words can be interpreted in more than one way, which is why I clarified my words, I did not intend a snarky insult.

                      You have been affected/brainwashed by gas industry advertising, so have I. Believing something on the basis of false information isn't a personal failing, you shouldn't be attacking me for pointing that out, direct that anger against those who are responsible.

                      Just like you I used to believe gas was the best technology and would never dream of using electric, and it used to be true.

                      Around 50% of homes are connected to gas in Australia, banning new connections would gradually decrease that figure over decades. Gas is already installed and acting as the transition technology required, there is no need to continue promoting it.

      The single unit we have from Amazon (name escapes me) has the one setting called simmer that has the ability to dial the wattage down in increments, from 2000w to 100w ( i think it is) , it sounds like yours is like an old school microwave when you set it on 50% power, it just runs at full power for 1/2 the time.

      This is the regular behaviour I anticipate from cheap induction stoves like this and full-size 4-plate kitchen ones.

      Makes cooking pretty had when it switches on and off.

    • sharkfan12 on 06/06/2024 - 10:13

      Got a previous model from ALDI. Mine only pulses on and off when I go under 1000w. When I use 1000w-2000w it's a constant heat.

        When I use 1000w-2000w it's a constant heat.

        Which is useless when you need to simmer something.

        I'd avoid such cookers unless its only task is to boil pots of water. Ie. defs not cooking.

        • TightKingBilly on 06/06/2024 - 11:16

          The old Aldi one I had would cycle on and off at the 900w and below power settings, but I found if you put in "Stir Fry" mode it would cycle on and off in very short intervals, which worked quite well for simmering and other similar things that required gentle heat. I rarely used it above 900w. Unfortunately after a few years it stopped cycling at all and only wants to run flat out.

      • Horacio on 06/06/2024 - 10:33

        Thanks for sharing experience - I need one that has the option to run at a constant 600w some times

          I have the Xiaomi induction unit, and it is a constant power from about 500W to 600W onwards. (Measured using a watt meter on the power point, not actual heat output)

    • Droz on 06/06/2024 - 10:48

      This one definitely pulses when it's low.

      I have one, and it's fine, but I sure want to find a cheapy that just dials down the power but keeps it on. I guess that simply doesn't exist?

      I guess the way you mitigate this is by having ultra-thick cookware.

      Also, for whom it may concern - these cheap induction cookers always have small magnets, so if you've got a cheap and thin pan, it'll heat the inside but not the outside, so your pan kinda buckles. Thicker pans always better.

        so your pan kinda buckles

        Been there too! Was also a cheapish pan, TBH, but still.

        Also pointing out there are no magnets in induction stoves. There are coils that generate electromagnetic field, which is a different thing. It's like calling car engine "pedals" for some reason.

          Oh interesting, I keep hearing them being referred to as 'magnets', but I guess it's an electromagnetic coil, or sometimes called an induction element. Thanks for the info!

          But, now I'm interested in the car thing - aren't "pedals" something you step on?

            +1

            @Droz: Yeah, I meant, like, bike pedals, to cycle. Maybe not the best methaphor. The point was, bike pedals are as relevant to car's engine, as magnets are to induction stoves. They're ambiguously linked, but not really.

            People do incorrectly say magnets.

            Also electromagnetic coil is probably something different too, but happy to be corrected here.

        I have a Xiaomi induction unit, and it only cycles on the 1st setting. Everything after that is continuous.
        However despite have 99 power levels, 2 starts at ~500W and 99 is 2100W. So the "low" end isn't really low enough.

        • Horacio on 07/06/2024 - 10:44

          Thanks for this & comment above. It's a shame they don't go lower, I think 500w is definitely more than required to keep something boiling once it's reached that point. So from your wattmeter investigations, do you think the #1 setting probably cycles the 500w on & off? Asking as I sometimes need it to run from a 600w inverter
