I have one of the normal sized Lodge ones and one comically small one that turned out to be actually pretty great for one egg or one portion of anything.
Honestly if I was stuck with one of these shitty resistive heater stoves I'd definitely do this for stuff like warming up pancakes. Less energy and time wasted on heating the pan.
It's easy to clean, just use water and wipe it clear. Never soap. If you put soap on it, you'll ruin the coating and will have to re-season your stovetop again.
Well yes, technically the amount of heat released because of current going through the coil can heat things up on it's own, but this is generally a huge waste of power and kind of misses the whole "induction" part of "induction cooking". And those things (the coils) aren't meant to heat up for that exact reason. Edit: I really thought it was a shitty induction stove, but apparently it's just a resistive stove...

Induction cooktops are just a ruse by big cast iron to sell us skillets we don't even need.

They doing great job with the propaganda, because I've bought 2 and love them.

Wow, that's awful—my condolences.
Which ones, tho? I need to know what to stay away from. 👀

You don't even need a stove if the weather is hot enough

This is not a resistive heat stove, but an induction stove. induction stoves are amazing.
EvacuateSoul@lemmy.world · 43 pts · 1y
No, this is just a glass top resistive stove.

You are right and I am embarrassed.

An induction stove would not cook a bacon like that lol

Good luck with cleaning it, or even boiling water for pasta!

Cleaning away all the good taste?!
Sacrilège !

There's a restaurant in France that's been in the same family for 4 generations now, and they cook all meals in a stove just like this, with no pans.
Yhey've been accumulating the juices and flavours all this time, and while it takes a long time to cook a dish, the taste is absolutely unique.
Or so I've heard.

Take that, Big Pan!
That uncontained bacon grease really hurts, but at least you know you're not contributing to the culinary-industrial complex.
