Things I learned in my 40s now include:
*when you order a new oven, it won’t include several components necessary for making it operate, such as a power cord or a strain-relief collar for that power cord you end up separately ordering
*I miss my 30s
Anyway, I sure would like to be able to cook a meal sometime soon
I now have a functioning induction stove, and can be insufferable about having an induction stove.
@bikepedantic ohh I definitely want to know what you think about it!
@bikepedantic I look forward to your insufferability. I really want an induction stove.
@bikepedantic What kind did you get? We're prepping to get one, too, and I'd love to have some recommendations.
@Ardvaark @bikepedantic I'm also curious what brand/model people are picking
@bikepedantic I love it, and welcome to the insufferable induction club. I did a Bosch range two years ago and will never go back. My main motivation at the time was spite for the gas company, and secondary was indoor air quality, which has gotten dramatically better with induction, alongside all the other benefits. I had to upgrade a power line to 220v, but would do it again in a heartbeat. It, and my heat pump water heater, allowed me to cut off gas to the house entirely.
@Will later this year, i'll get back to work on getting four-season heat pumps, and then our only gas will be hot water heat (both our units have very newish on-demand gas hot water, will wait for those to die before converting)
@bikepedantic We have a frankly kind of shitty induction stove because we went with the cheapest option and I still love it.
@dx @bikepedantic We have a plug-in 120V single burner that we bought for $80 bucks or so. And we love it too! The regular stove is rarely being used anymore.
@bikepedantic welcome to the club! Induction is so cool - literally!
