stove top cooking
considering buying an induction burner to use instead of (or in addition to) the gas stove top. I realize there are issues with the type of pan/pot you use (must be aluminum I think) but would like f...

Thanks for posting your test results on boiling of water using both methods!
Now .... to wrap my head around what's going on:
- Different BTU content within the incoming energy for both methods, so test did not actually compare apples to apples from a "process type" viewpoint?
- Less energy lost into the surrounding air from an induction heated container versus gas flames dancing around on the bottom of the same container?
- Bottom and sides of the container were hot with induction, but mostly only the bottom was hot from the gas flames?
- The "new gas stove" used was natural gas powered versus what's used in RVs - propane?
- The electromagnetic induction heating process is more more efficient at converting electrical energy than the propane (not natural gas - right?) heating process is at converting carbon-based energy?
- Magic?
- I can't figure it out without another cup of coffee?
Too many lingering questions for a weekday ...thanks again for the test you performed!
