 @koronkebitch modern induction stoves prove that buttons which break in response to water in an environment frequently involving water are (a) terribly unproductive and (b) wildly popular. @ator @koronkebitch (c) the market forces of modern capitalism fail to deliver an obvious, better product for a tiny increase in price @ator @koronkebitch the positions of various landlords and designers (or at least execs the designers have to answer to) could use some depopulating
@ator @koronkebitch These buttons are used for glass-ceramic stoves, too β and they are a real pain. @ator @koronkebitch hmm. - I suspect that more modern implementations eschew buttons for capacitive switches, nicely sealed under the easy to clean high strength glass surface. @koronkebitch Is this where I tell my usual joke about cooking with induction versus OKing with coinduction? @koronkebitch I fear that may have been it. But I'm now planning to invent the coinduction freezer which keeps my ingredients always ok, to go with the induction stove which ensures that my ingredients eventually cook. @kakurady @koronkebitch Also the cheap cookware is /never/ compatible (presumably made of aluminum). @Ylfingr @koronkebitch almost every cookware IKEA currently sells (save one) are induction compatible. @Ylfingr @koronkebitch the lack of physical feedback for your input is a very annoying trend for induction cooktops, and even on induction ranges (combined cooktop-oven) the odds are 50-50 whether you'll get a knob or not.    @koronkebitch @antifuchs I wonder if the proofing box in the baking kitchen runs on induction  @antifuchs @Cyrus @koronkebitch what? you reject the most complex engineering solution to a simple problem? (We found a 40W bulb on a dimmer in a cardboard box lined with tinfoil was the simplest home-grown solution for a proofing box) @koronkebitch what about the deduction stove, hope I can cook some logic reasoning over here. @koronkebitch When you put a piece of aluminium foil on it, it proves paramagnetism. Haven't you tried it? @koronkebitch How completely clueless ableds can be on #DisabledAccessibility because that's all I've seen it advertised as being ... And it seems not matter how much it's explained how these things are even worse than normal stoves, it doesn't stop said nonsense being repeated that they're helpful. @koronkebitch what the hell is that design? Can't they see the surface is gonna be HOT after some time?? @fujiyamasamoyed @koronkebitch glass-ceramic is surprisingly good at keeping it cool where there is no heat applied https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass-ceramic |
@koronkebitch if you start with a pan at zero degrees and you can show how to ra-holy shit my kitchen is on fire i have to go
