If induction cooktops would tell you their pulse width modulation I’d be so happy.

What does that determine when shopping?

Short frequent pulses mean cooking is smooth at the lowest power settings when using a light pot

Yep. And long slow pulses will burn my marinara.

is this a sex thing

Only if you braise some beef short ribs in it with some red wine. Then you’re gonna get some sex.

Or at least that’s how it worked for me last time.

I've had great success using fairly thick heavy pots for sauces.. Though maybe I have a stove with a shorter pulse interval than yours

I’ve just got an induction hot plate which has a 1 Hz pulse width modulation. (Yes, you read that right.)

I love it for large pots of stock or getting a pan superheated for searing but anything low and slow is going to get ruined.

So while I’m not opposed to induction - though I’d need to rewire my house for it - I’m not going to buy one without a test drive.

(Though I wonder if I could mitigate this with a thick slab of steel as a thermal regulator.)

"Can I have the technical specifications for my, uh, stove?" Not a legitimate question i was expecting...

Oh yes. The flour test or water bubbles. Just ordered a GE one we’ll see how it does

I have a $50 induction hot plate and while I've only hooked a few times on it it seems like it works pretty well I'm not complaining
