Casey Liss@snazzyq what the fuck are you doing with half a pan

@caseyliss please understand, these are difficult times
John Siracusa@caseyliss @snazzyq Watch for an upcoming video about induction cooktops.
@siracusa @caseyliss Alas, I do not talk about the cooktop. This is strictly a cooking video. Very nervous to see how it’s received.
@snazzyq @siracusa @caseyliss oh it will be very well received because your whole audience has been yearning for “Cooking with Snazzy” for centuries
@snazzyq Really!? Give that half-pan to @TechConnectify when you’re done with it. He’ll know what to do with it. (Unless he’s already made an induction cooktop video and I’m forgetting about it…)
Smay@siracusa @snazzyq @TechConnectify I don’t remember a video specifically dedicated to them but I do know that induction cooktops have certainly come up several times over a few videos, specifically the electric kettle ones at the least
Alex Rosenberg@siracusa @caseyliss @snazzyq What’s with the awful 0-9 power system? Is it a linear? How many watts/cm is emitted for each setting? Is the scale at all the same between cooktop brands?
Chancerubbage@alexr @siracusa @caseyliss @snazzyq
Scales are arbitrary. It goes back to the first electric and gas range tops and fire (guitar amps for that matter, this one goes to eleven) Base 10 math. Not even specified with cooks towards a ‘temperature scale’.
High, (9) medium (5), low. (<5) High around 400 450F- burns paper, fiber. Heats oil for frying. Medium =Boil water 212.
Low coagulate proteins, ouch burn yourself, hotter than fever. Intermediate surfaces mediate. Cook as fast as necessary.
@Chancerubbage @siracusa @caseyliss @snazzyq I know how to use them; I’ve had a Thermador induction cooktop for over a decade. I’m asking for a survey of current product behavior and a discussion of how the UX could be better.
Also, how some cooktops have the same design (and flaws) as AirPower did.
@alexr @siracusa @caseyliss @snazzyq
As someone a bit nerdy wanting to have exact temperatures, I’ve frequently found the lax vagueness of recipes a bit daunting. Slow oven this, put this on ‘low’ that. Fry at what now?
Perhaps it *can’t* be as exact as we would like without thermometers, probes and lasers.
AND I have no notion of how an induction stove top or xi charging can even work.
Magnus Ahlberg@alexr @siracusa @caseyliss @snazzyq Mine goes to 14, for whatever reason. Oh, and don’t forget “Power mode” 😶🌫️
Craig Bradley@siracusa @caseyliss @snazzyq Beware of the noise. We have a Smeg induction cooktop that you can hear from a suburb away. When it was first installed we called the Smeg technician as we thought it was broken.
Ceolaf@caseyliss @snazzyq people do that to prove that induction cooktops to some it get hot, even though they heat pans.
Mike Taffet@caseyliss @snazzyq I would also like to inquire about the Thanos pan
