Propane fires add heat and moisture YUCK.I would love to have a ferrous griddle for hot days. Hot Cakes!Ideas? Counterpoints? Note the "ferrous". Searches have been fruitless

Hi Mex,I love my NuWave induction hob. I use it with a cast iron frying pan for pan cakes. I use it with a chicken fryer for soups and stews. It works well with the Magnum inverter.Like most induction devices it cycles on and off once it reaches the set temperature. However, it does so a lot faster most other induction cookers--faster than a kill-a-watt meter can read.

Cast iron works okay on an induction cooktop; and cast iron griddles are not hard to find. One with a flat (not raised, nor with significant embossing of logos etc.) would of course be preferred.I suppose one could also go to a metal dealer and get a suitably sized and shaped chunk of steel plate, clean it well, and dub it a griddle. Grinding or milling a groove around the outside to catch excess grease/juices might be a good idea, albeit some non-trivial work.

Love my induction cooker so much better than propane stoves

Induction plates are great. You can build a Sous Vide water cooker. I did. Cheap. Do some Googling. It’s a great low energy way to cook. Get a cheap cut of eye of round cook it at 130 for 14 hours or so. Perfectly med rare, tender. Bud box, female recep, power cord, temp controller on EBay, crock pot (old school no electronics) wire it up. Plug crock pot in, set temp.

Find the right pan and it will work even better than cast iron as far as I am concerned. I have both side by side. My Nu Waves do NOT like modified sine waves.

Hot, humid, and enough breeze to deform a flame outside. :(

I too use an induction cooker (though not a Nu-Wave) and it is great.
THe unit came with a magnet you go shopping and slap the magnet on the bottom of the skillet. If you play catch. Move on. if it sticks. That's the one you buy
