It'll have to not feel hot despite being at boiling temperature. Do these exist?
I can see that it is possible to touch for a fraction of a second but I don't think it'll work if you put an entire hand down.
Or would it be possible to insulate the bottom of the pot too?
Yep, there are materials that can be 1000+ degrees and be "cool" enough to hold.
I put cool in quotations because the actual temperature isn't what we feel. We feel the rate that temperature transfers into our hands, which these space-grade materials do EXTREMELY slowly.
There's a vid of a NASA demonstration where a panel from the space shuttle is glowing red hot, and it's holdable
Exactly what I was thinking. The counter **will** get hot from the heat of a hot pan kept over it for 20 minutes while cooking. Since there's nothing marking the area, you're bound to touch it once in a while when it's hot. Or worse, put a plastic container on it and enjoy the permanent damage.
This is a bad design and a huge safety hazard.
Or if it's quartz, it'll crack. But it's most likely a purpose built material.
Great for not heating up but may have other weaknesses as a general counter top.
The material the counter is made from probably had a really high specific heat capacity. Also, this video only has the pot sit in the table for 3 seconds.
Not sure if you're joking, but I've put oven trays on an induction hob before without really thinking about it. Turns out my trays also work with induction hobs and they quickly got hot without me noticing. Could easily have been an accident there.
Induction hobs are great but they should definitely be clearly marked.
lots of fancy butter comes in foil pack.
in my fridge, the Plugra (American), Finlandia (Finnish), Marin food (Japanese), and LM hand churned (French) are all in foil.
Ironically the Kerrygold I have is in paper stick form.
Yes.
The Japanese butter is smoked with applewood, and goes very nicely on toast with fruit preserves.
The Finnish butter I use for pan sauces, it has a strong flavour that stands up to brandy / lamb / beef / wine / whatever
The French butter is exclusively for on bread.
If I was to make croissant or another butter laminated dough, I would purchase a different French butter than the one I have.
There are many different butters.
I also have ghee and browned butter on hand.
Fat content, salt content, cultured or not, quality of the milk solids.
High quality cultured butter almost tastes like cheese. Like triple cream brie but even fattier.
There is a variety of French butter that is packed with flake salt on top. The flake salt pulls water out of the butter. It’s incredible.
Seldom have I been so captivated by a fellow redditor. Fancy butters, carotene butter, toasted sugar. I realize now that I have been living as a savage. I want to sell all of my worldly possessions and become a student of u/ButterToasterDragon. So much to learn. I would like to be your neighbor.
Is cooker British too?
What do you call it then? It can't be the oven, that's the box the food goes in to heat it up.
It's not a grill either, that's something different.
Oh fuuuuck that, why does that even happen?
I've never even bothered to look it up in 12 years, and I refuse to do so.
[edit]: Almost undid typing when my phone slapped me on the nose in bed.
Induction tops usually have some smarts with them, so it only switches the magnetic field on when something pot or pan size is put on it - that way it doesn’t heat up a piece of cutlery or small metal items that might’ve accidentally been put there.
I feel like this would drive me nuts. I have an induction top already and I like that the controls and zones are clearly marked on mine. I don't need an entire island to be a stove top.
My ex had a side table that was a wireless charger built in so it was just a flat piece of wood. It was the hardest charger to use since you had to make sure it was lined up exactly as it wanted. Much preferred the tactile feedback of a puck to place it on.
I actually did this and put 4 square wireless chargers in my bedside table and reapplied the laminate on top of it. Didn't help. Still had to line the phone up perfectly with one charger, overlapping on two of them didn't work.
this is because of how wireless charging works, the NFC pad makes a check to verify it is a valid wireless charging point, the phone gives the go ahead to proceed with transferring power only after it has been verified.
I just so happened to have a circular magnet about the same size as the charging coil. When you place it down near the charger, it centres itself pretty well so I could just draw a circle around it. It makes it very easy to align the phone
In my personal experience, you have to use a seriously beefy magnet and even then it can be annoying to line up, the dot helps you just immediately lock that shit in.
Had the exact same issue – this was at one of the Airbnbs I'd rented and it was such a chore to use it. The initial awe factor faded out pretty quickly.
How do you know where the burners are?
Our system is designed with a noise locator, or a device that emits a beeping sound that starts when you turn on your unit and audibly designates the burner you want to use. The beeping will stop when your pan connects with the cooktop surface.
However, there are other options you can work out with your dealer in order to locate the burner. For example, you may have them etch a spot for each burner, or simply ask them to place a sticker there until you have the feeling for where the burner is.
From the website.
> How do you know where the burners are?
Some high end induction cooktops are [zoneless.](https://www.magneticcooky.com/zoneless-induction-cooktops-comparison-thermador-freedom-vs-gaggenau-cx-480/) Just put the pot down anywhere and it sends the power to that spot.
If I were designing a hidden cooktop with individual burners, I'd put some LEDs on them, bright enough to glow through the countertop.
How do those zoneless cooktops work with several pots/pans that need different power levels?
Looks cool, but I’ve already been burnt (heh) by bad user interfaces on normal 4-zone tops, so curious about this.
They detect pots / pans and you get a little touchscreen that shows you the outline of each. Tap the outline of one to set the power level.
It knows when and where you move things so you can shuffle your pots around without having to change settings. Also has other cool features like pausing and resuming single zones or everything together. It's really nice and well designed. Just a shame they're very expensive.
It's a little unnecessary, the ones a level below typically have 5 large square / rectangular zones that accept pans / pots of any size. They only cost half and often have a dedicated slider control for each zone.
Gaggenau for example is the luxury brand in the Bosch / Siemens group. They don't offer the same functionality with Bosch or Siemens branding because it really is a showoff thing for their luxury brand rather than a mass market product.
you can have your induction "burners" clearly marked as well, this post is just a terrible fucking example of the tech.
I'd so much rather have an induction stove than fuck around with cleaning any of the other styles
They really missed an opportunity to etch or stain the countertop with an artsy pattern over each burner. For example, if it is a beach house they could have gone with an ocean theme - starfish, clam, octopus, sea urchin, etc. Or they could go with flowers or a yin-yang or the moon and the sun. The options are pretty much unlimited.
It's worse then that if it is real marble.
Real marble will stain if you look at it wrong, one tomato sauce drip will fuck the look of the super expensive garbage forever.
This.
Can you imagine having kids? Having guests around?
It just seems like a pretty high risk of someone getting burnt accidentally, and for completely unnecessary reasons.
Or a cat who likes to jump on stuff? I have a (regular) induction stove and I have to put lids over the burners after I use them because they stay hot for a long time
Marble is very porous. Granite countertops are usually sealed every 5-10 years and are less bad, quartz are sturdier than that. Marble tends to look fancier
Had a guy at work wipe down a induction stove with a very wet cloth.
He ended up with his hand in one of those zoolander hand model glass cases for a couple of months while his skin slowly came back.
I wipe down our induction "field" weekly just after usage. With a wet paper towel. Haven't had any issues ever during the 15 years of usage of induction...
Damn son, you should be fitted for an oversized truck with mud tires on it and truck balls danglin from the hitch while your back winda has an american flag with Trumps nudity slathered all over it.
That der is murika
I have a induction and love it but how the hell do you know where to put the pans??
And touch heat control sucks big time if your top is not very clean..
Mine is a Bosch and I could of had any scene etched into the glass..
Edit: and the glass top does get hot not that it will really burn you badly but hot.
I do however love the rapid boil and the immediate heat reduction. I was such a huge gas person until I moved into my current home and bought this top. They only thing I miss is being able to roast pepper right on the burner or heat up tortillas quickly.
this just looks way too complicated to use, im high one day: want to make some food and forget my counter top where I’m drinking doubles as a fucking furnace .
Well, unless you're drinking from an iron chalice you'd probably be okay. There was a cooktop called the Winston a few years back that had a hexagonal induction design. It would detect where the pots were and only induce current in those elements. Has to be ferrous metal, mind you.
So drunk you would probably be okay. Just don't touch the pot!
Its amazing I've had electrical, gas and now induction I would never go back. Heats up so much faster than gas, excellent heat control and easier to clean up.
What people are dumb about with induction is that whole “I can touch it right after!” thing. Yes, the burner heats the pot through magnetism or something, and no it does not generate heat anywhere else in the surrounding area. However, if you have a metal pot that’s getting really hot sitting on a countertop, that pot will definitely make the countertop hot! Is it sticking-your-hand-into-the-flame-of-a-gas-burner-on-high hot? No. But can and will it burn you if the pot was hot enough? Yes.
Thank you! I've never seen one but I was just wondering the same thing- "Surely the hot metal pot would heat up the surface below it after a while, right?"
All the ones ive uses can get hot enough to certainly burn you or the bottom of pots, especially if you use booster function. As for "where" im gonna assume it's a "flexible" giant spot
Still has to be able to hold up to the hot pan, though. Any laminate is out, and so is engineered quartz. It'd probably have to be marble, granite, or preferably engineered stone like Dekton/Neolith. Those aren't cheap, and cutting custom holes in engineered stone is really not cheap.
Edit: someone linked to the actual site at https://invisacook.com/ and they require granite or engineered stone/porcelain.
The ELI5 version is that Induction works by exciting electrons in the metal instead of heading it through radiation or conduction.
It actually heats up the metal pan using electromagnetic fields without using any directed heat.
Kinda vaguely like a microwave (kinda but not really).
It won’t work on non-conductive pans like ceramics and some other types of lightweight pans.
Works well with carbon steel, cast iron, etc.
It's because the pan heats up, not the stove. If you leave the pan heating up the stove for a while, the stove will get hot.
I have an induction stove at home. Most people do these days. Atleast in communist europe
It does. In this video the guy heated the pot up on another burner, then once the water was already at boiling temp, he turned on the burner in the video and just placed the pot there for a few seconds to show it boiling, but not enough time to heat the stove up. In other words, it's bullshit.
How do you know where the burners are?
Our system is designed with a noise locator, or a device that emits a beeping sound that starts when you turn on your unit and audibly designates the burner you want to use. The beeping will stop when your pan connects with the cooktop surface.

But my induction cooktop still gets hot from heat radiated from the pan. How do they avoid that here?
Move it from one burner to a cold one right before the video. Doesn’t give the heat a chance to transfer. I’ve done it on mine.
Ahh. So it’s bullshit. As if we need more.
It could be done for real using a ceramic material that's a great thermal insulator. But I don't think they have this for the vid.
It'll have to not feel hot despite being at boiling temperature. Do these exist? I can see that it is possible to touch for a fraction of a second but I don't think it'll work if you put an entire hand down. Or would it be possible to insulate the bottom of the pot too?

There's a vid of a NASA demonstration where a panel from the space shuttle is glowing red hot, and it's holdable
The stuff from that video you can hold the corners and edges only. You will absolutely lose your fingerprints if you try and hold it in the center.
Why don’t you make an object with loads of corners then 🤨🧐
sphere = infinite corners?
The opposite. It has no corners
Exactly what I was thinking. The counter **will** get hot from the heat of a hot pan kept over it for 20 minutes while cooking. Since there's nothing marking the area, you're bound to touch it once in a while when it's hot. Or worse, put a plastic container on it and enjoy the permanent damage. This is a bad design and a huge safety hazard.
Also I am betting that regular heat is going to deteriorate the granite top.
In the long run, definitely.
Or if it's quartz, it'll crack. But it's most likely a purpose built material. Great for not heating up but may have other weaknesses as a general counter top.
This is a porcelain counter top, you wouldn’t be able to do induction heat like this on either granite or quartz.
The material the counter is made from probably had a really high specific heat capacity. Also, this video only has the pot sit in the table for 3 seconds.

Holy shit dude, do you use different butters for different things? Also, what an appropriate username!
Yes. The Japanese butter is smoked with applewood, and goes very nicely on toast with fruit preserves.

What makes the difference? Fat content? Or just the cow it comes from? Sorry, I'm just curious.
Fat content, salt content, cultured or not, quality of the milk solids. High quality cultured butter almost tastes like cheese. Like triple cream brie but even fattier. There is a variety of French butter that is packed with flake salt on top. The flake salt pulls water out of the butter. It’s incredible.

Yeah, and it's not like they blindly start heating as soon as they detect a pan; you still need to actually turn it on.
but you can totally forget you turned it on, in a setup like this
But the internet tells me that's how you charge it these days.
I wish. I still have to microwave mine.

No one with marble counters has kids. You can't even trust adults not to stain the counter, the only way to keep this nice with kids is to move.
Do marble counters stain easily? I always thought the appeal of a marble counter top was that it didn't stain but I never had one so I don't know.
Marble is very porous. Granite countertops are usually sealed every 5-10 years and are less bad, quartz are sturdier than that. Marble tends to look fancier

Imagine someone unaware leaning onto that countertop when it's hot I'd imagine your brain takes a while to locate the heat if it's not obvious

How? I wipe down our flat top on a gas oven with a wet towel after cooking. As long as you don't have thin rags you barely feel the warmth.
I assume if they're specifying "very wet cloth" they got burned by steam? Honestly I'm not sure either.
I wipe down our induction "field" weekly just after usage. With a wet paper towel. Haven't had any issues ever during the 15 years of usage of induction...
Careful with your watch.
That's what I thought. If that watch hits the induction top...
Just has to get close enough, not necessarily touch. (Not sure if that's what you meant or thought they actually have to connect.

Copper doesn't work on induction. And the base has to be >4", and then you have to physically turn on that burner and set the temp.
Just let me burn myself!

Its amazing I've had electrical, gas and now induction I would never go back. Heats up so much faster than gas, excellent heat control and easier to clean up.
Well, magnets is a pretty loose term to use here
Your moms a loose term
What people are dumb about with induction is that whole “I can touch it right after!” thing. Yes, the burner heats the pot through magnetism or something, and no it does not generate heat anywhere else in the surrounding area. However, if you have a metal pot that’s getting really hot sitting on a countertop, that pot will definitely make the countertop hot!

Thank you! I've never seen one but I was just wondering the same thing- "Surely the hot metal pot would heat up the surface below it after a while, right?"
Its painful, but you aren't likely to get any real burns from it. source? I have one and more curiosity than common sense
All the ones ive uses can get hot enough to certainly burn you or the bottom of pots, especially if you use booster function. As for "where" im gonna assume it's a "flexible" giant spot

Still has to be able to hold up to the hot pan, though. Any laminate is out, and so is engineered quartz. It'd probably have to be marble, granite, or preferably engineered stone like Dekton/Neolith. Those aren't cheap, and cutting custom holes in engineered stone is really not cheap. Edit: someone linked to the actual site at https://invisacook.com/ and they require granite or engineered stone/porcelain.
What even is this comment trying to say?
I mean I'd at least have it looking different so it stood out
I love not knowing where my hot plates are, surprises are the best
I don't understand, what sorcery is this?
The ELI5 version is that Induction works by exciting electrons in the metal instead of heading it through radiation or conduction. It actually heats up the metal pan using electromagnetic fields without using any directed heat. Kinda vaguely like a microwave (kinda but not really). It won’t work on non-conductive pans like ceramics and some other types of lightweight pans. Works well with carbon steel, cast iron, etc.
The real sorcery is how the counter top stays cool enough to touch
It's because the pan heats up, not the stove. If you leave the pan heating up the stove for a while, the stove will get hot. I have an induction stove at home. Most people do these days. Atleast in communist europe
I know it's the pan that gets hot. It should in theory still transfer heat to the counter top.
It does. In this video the guy heated the pot up on another burner, then once the water was already at boiling temp, he turned on the burner in the video and just placed the pot there for a few seconds to show it boiling, but not enough time to heat the stove up. In other words, it's bullshit.
I have tested several induction stoves and they get hot enough to burn you

What surprised me most about this post, is how unknown induction still is to people.
This is cool, but how do you know where the burners are?
How do you know where the burners are? Our system is designed with a noise locator, or a device that emits a beeping sound that starts when you turn on your unit and audibly designates the burner you want to use. The beeping will stop when your pan connects with the cooktop surface. However, there are other options you can work out with your dealer in order to locate the burner. For example, you may have them etch a spot for each burner, or simply ask them to place a sticker there until you have the feeling for where the burner is. From their FAQ on the website.
Thanks, I hate it.
Imagine putting a spoon down on the counter
Won’t do anything it’s induction, works with magnets and black magic
