Noises Off
The site page "Pros and Cons" contains as honest a look as we could take at the drawbacks. But it really is true that there aren't many, and those not major. The chiefest remains the cookware issue. (You can also check out the site page "More Information" for links to forums besides than this one in which discussion of induction is not uncommon.)
Mike Reid's remark that "Ive been told induction works with anything metal", is true but it isn't: that is, there are apparently some cutting-edge units made by Panasonic solely for distribution in Japan that will work with metals other than the traditional ferrous substances, but--so far as we understand it--it will likely be some years before units with that capability begin showing up in the usual retail channels in Europe and North America. (Of course, that could be wrong, and such units might arrive sooner, but we would not recommend the proverbial holding of breath till it happens).
2nd Avenue Deli Update :o 5421limey Hi, Dora. Thank you for your kind thoughts and words. The Lebewohls are charitable, generous people and I always thought of...
Based on a lot of scattered bits and pieces of information, we truly believe that before many years pbutt, induction will bury all other cooking methods as surely as coal-burning cooking stoves are buried. (We have no axe to grind: we are not buttociated with the business in any way, direct or indirect--the site arose from our own pleasant introduction to and experiences with induction.)
