I hate* you for a) beating me to the joke and b) doing it better than I would have.
*not really
@koronkebitch I fear that may have been it.
But I'm now planning to invent the coinduction freezer which keeps my ingredients always ok, to go with the induction stove which ensures that my ingredients eventually cook.
@koronkebitch When you put a piece of aluminium foil on it, it proves paramagnetism.
Haven't you tried it?
@hazelnot @koronkebitch The frequent claim set is that they're better for disabled & seniors because if you touch, with a finger or elbow or another body part, where it heats the pot or pan it won't burn you & it's smooth surface will also be easier for disabled people to handle but at best that's only a little true for cleaning said stoves. It practice it makes them regularly more hazardous as we can too easily slip the pan/pot of hot food/liquid right off the burners & onto our flesh & clothes. They also take longer to cook things, which adds trouble for many subgroups of #disabled, who don't have the energy for waiting/cooking longer.
Overall if this was put in my home & all our other cooking equipment was removed/blocked in use, at most it'd take 3 days before my spouse & I would both be injured (burns mostly) by our attempting to carefully use it. This is why when (& thankfully it's rare) I get "nudged" pushed to consider these in person, I generally first look at them in ways that should be clear I question their competence & then power walk as fast as I can away from said person & item at showrooms.🙃
@BrahmaBelarusian @koronkebitch oh oof I see
Makes sense

This would give a better joke in Spanish, because "probar" means both "prove" and "taste" (as in when we taste food to see if it's good).
magnetic fields make metal hot?
