But yeah regarding chipping off, you are right. Im pretty careless person. induction cooker? if only you read my post earlier was looking at induction stove vs gas stove about it life span and how much saving induction is and found this. Buying a kitchen stove is a rare purchase most people make only a few times in a lifetime. Currently, the trend toward replacing electric cooktops with an induction stove is quite popular. Is this a wise purchase? Let’s take a look … In our home, we purchased a glass top stove in 1997 when we completely remodeled the (very old) kitchen. At that time, the range we selected boasted the latest and greatest technology which included a glass top cooking surface. We were upgrading from a tiny 1950’s stove (see picture below) that while it seemed to fit very well with the orange, 1970’s style wallpaper and canary yellow cabinets (no kidding), it was not something we regretted replacing! While this new range was awesome (so nice not to have to clean up messes under coil burners anymore!) and has served us well for many years, it recently came time to replace it when problems developed. Since we had upgraded to the best technology many years earlier with good results, we thought we should probably do so again. This involved purchase of an induction stove with all the bells and whistles. The upgrade hopefully would make my many hours spent in the kitchen even more efficient. our old stove circa 1997 Since gas is not an option for our neighborhood, electric is our only choice. We made the rounds to Best Buy, Home Depot and online to see what was available. We eventually settled on a stainless steel induction stove. It offered nearly all the latest technology of the (amazing but ridiculously expensive) Viking stoves that celebrity chefs use but with a much more reasonable pricetag. This is the induction stove we originally picked (I was not given permission to use the actual photo). I particularly liked the extra large knobs, and oversized glasstop that prevented spills from trickling down the crack between the stove and the countertop. It was exactly what I was looking for. We also decided to get the matching convection oven (that also functions as a toaster) that sits over the top of the induction stove to replace our old microwave oven that I only ever used for storage anyway. This would give me more counter space as I could get rid of the countertop convection/toaster oven we were currently using that was on its last legs too. Little Known Dangers of an Induction Stove Really excited about our upcoming purchase, I posted about it on the blog FB page, to see if any readers had any input. Right away, a couple of comments got my attention. Jeanette K. said, “My mothers induction stove was measured by professionals on EMF and had extreme readings.” In addition, Beth H. warned that “The only downfall [with an induction stove] is that you have to use pans that magnets can stick to”. So glad I asked for input! Neither of these concerns about induction stoves was mentioned by the salespeople I spoke to or the marketing material I had reviewed. Since I frequently cook with glass, having to only use pans that magnets can stick to would be a serious downside of having an induction stove because it would require me to purchase some new cookware and bakeware which I really didn’t want or need to do. But, it was Jeanette’s comment about the EMF dangers of an induction stove that really gave me pause. EMF overexposure is a huge concern of mine that I’ve written many articles about. We take great pains in our home to minimize excessive EMF exposure such as turning off wifi at night, using radiation cancelling cases and headsets for our cellphones, and EMF shields for our PCs and notebooks. I also avoid dirty electricity in our home by never using dimmer switches or fluorescent bulbs. We also use battery power for our electronics as much as possible as much higher EMF exposure occurs when you use a laptop while it is plugged in, for example. So, when I started examining the technology behind an induction stove, I was more than a little shocked and incredibly grateful Jeanette had commented about it to clue me in to do further research. Here’s what I found out: Induction Stoves Work via Generation of EMF Field The technology of an induction stove works by alternating magnetic fields which generate heat in a cooking vessel made of ferrous metals. The benefits of induction cooking as opposed to thermal heating with a traditional stovetop include up to 50% faster and more even cooking of the food and slightly reduced energy usage. Parents of young children like it because the coil itself underneath the glass stovetop doesn’t actually get hot. This means the cooking surface stays cool and won’t burn little hands or steam up if you spill liquid on it. While it is extremely controversial whether this type of radiation source is actually dangerous, the data is sufficient enough for me to avoid it. The latest information I found that should give anyone pause about bringing an induction stove into their home was published by the Journal Bioelectromagnetics in 2012 (1). The study authors concluded that most induction hobs (rings) exceeded even the high 1998 maximum exposure levels set by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) when a person was standing close to the induction stove. The worst case scenario was an up to 16-fold increase from these maximum exposure levels! So how in the world did induction stoves ever pass the safety tests? According to Powerwatch, the safety tests assumed that a person’s body is never closer than 1 foot (30 cm) to the front of the induction stove. Standing that far away would be considered “normal usage”. I don’t know about you, but I don’t cook standing at least a foot away from my stove! In fact, this would be pretty much impossible if you needed to reach the back burners. https://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/induction-stove-dangers-what-to-buy-instead/ Edited May 2, 2019 by The_King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stemcell Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Hi everybody, I see a lot of interests generated from this topic. I can go in depth a bit more if you guys have anything to ask. I do accept question like costing, material and tools so u can DIY. For technical questions like architectural and stuff, I might not be qualified to answer. But I can enquire from my colleagues for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
