The Quest for My Perfect Camper
Thought this would be a good spot for this as would could help those along the path of purchase. I will start by saying there is no one size fits all and to each their own. These are my observation...

So, what of this induction electric burner? Thoughts folks?
I'm a cook-on-gas type of person..
What kind of power does it consume? Only when on shore-power? Do you like/dis-like?
I've never used one so have no clue..
A singe induction burner runs off 110 not 240. They are usually 15 amp. Advantage of the induction burner is that it doesn't add heat to the kitchen area like a gas cooktop does. Also easier to keep clean with better controllability than a propane burner. They are safer - they don't get hot, they shut off when pan is removed, in fact you can put a hundred dollar bill between the pan and the cooktop and cook all day without burning the bill. The main disadvantage of induction is that you need to use pans with enough ferrous content to hold a magnet - cast iron, some stainless, etc. No aluminum.
We have a propane cooktop in our TT and bought a portable induction unit to use both there and at home. I haven't used the gas since I bought it. We are either going to build a new home in the next few years or remodel and will definitely install induction.
