We took the plunge and bought a induction range yesterday.
Sears outlet had one new in the box we ended up getting it for 47% off the sale price. Ranges | NE597N0PBSR 5.9 cu.ft Electric Range Stainless Steel Burner Specs 7” (2300 W, Boost) 9” (3000 W, Boost) 11” (3400 W, Boost) FlexCook Zone (2 x 9”, 4600 W) We just got it so I won’t go into how we like it for a while. It does have one cool feature boil alert (on one burner). It senses when something boils and it will turn it down to a predefined setting once it senses it is boiling. I have only used this once so far and it worked well. Last edited by pinballlooking; 11-10-14 at 02:36 PM.. |

That looks like a nice stove. I look forward to hearing your feedback on it. Did it replace a traditional electric stove?

Yes we just had a elect glass top stove. We tried out the induction single burner and liked it so I have been watching for a good deal on an induction range for over a year.
Our old oven was not convection and I did not think much about this one being convection. I cooked wings yesterday on the convection setting and they turned out great crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. this is the first time I have used a convection oven.

We could not find a white induction range. Are old hood was white so we replaced it. It was getting weathered looking anyway.
The new hood came with 2 halogen 35 watt bulbs it used 70 watts and made the hood very hot when you used it. We just replaced them with two LED bulbs 3 watts each to total 6 watts and they put off more light and less heat. They were just a little longer than the ones they replaced but we don’t really care. $11.47 each I know they say 20w equivalent but they put out a lot more light than that.

Really getting interested in induction cooking but am wondering from those who are doing it how much they are finding "cooking" is able to be speeded up? Like microwave heating is faster but not all cooking tastes similar as conventional. There is a lot of chemistry going on in "cooking" that is not just a matter of speed. What methods are working with induction? I'm sure boiling water is faster but is say cooking rice able to be speeded up? Or does induction cooking require less energy(?) for equal cooking even if for a longer time?
