Induction is so good. I have a glass top electric, but I bought a single burner induction for setting on the counter, and that thing is crazy.

My only complaints are coil ring/whine with my laminated steel pans, and also it’s too powerful, with not enough resolution in the lower power range.

It has 8 power levels. I use level 3 for making smash burgers (I put the whole thing on the porch to keep the grease/smoke outside. I don’t have a range vent), and it’s just a little too hot for that. Like a Blackstone grill on full blast.

Level 2 is just a little too cool for proper smash burgers.

Level 8 is insane, boils water practically instantly. When I first tried making smash burgers with it, I started at level 5 or 6, and literally burned the outside of the patties like charcoal. I didn’t notice because I was upwind of the “steam” which was actually a horrible smoke. Ruined the first couple of patties before getting it dialed in.

Induction is ridiculously efficient. All 1500w straight into the pan and nowhere else.

I still recommend it though, it’s the future. Under glass coils are annoying to cook with. You get used to it, but eh. Gas just makes the house hot and stinky, burns your pan handles and spoon/spatula handles, and makes my family’s asthma act up. I’ll never go gas again.

This is the answer.

If it’s a DC whoop style motor, switch.

If it’s a BLDC with the standard three wires, just swap two of them, pick any two and swap them.

I like flavored coffee on occasion. We have two grinders, the slightly lower quality one gets all the flavored beans, they never go into the good grinder.

That said, I got a handful of flavors recently to share with friends. I like to bring our espresso machine glamping, I set it up on a table under a tarp next to our tent, with a 100 foot cord running to a small generator.

When I got home, I tried mixing a little bit of each flavor together. 5 flavors,a few beans from each. It was honestly terrible. Far worse than any individual flavor by itself. It wasn’t unique or interesting, it was bad, and I’ll never do it again 🤷‍♂️

Edit: That said, while I would never put flavored beans in the flavor free grinder, as a matter of principle… I’ve never noticed a problem when changing from one flavor to another in the flavored grinder. So I doubt the grocery store grinder would affect the flavor that much 🤷‍♂️

No worries thanks for the information!

Good to know, I’ll have to play with it.

Ah that makes sense haha

Hmmm, that doesn’t sound very encouraging haha. Well I’m gonna try PEI anyway, see if I can keep it flat enough.

I thought too cold caused warping, does too warm cause it as well?

Now I know this to be true

I put the whole apparatus in the fridge for a few hours, hoping it would just pop off.

The edges came up clean, but the very middle was very unhappy. I had some lifting on the corners so I think there was a draft and the plate wasn’t warming equally. Hot spot in the middle trying to keep up maybe? IDK.

This is a pretty deep hole, I don’t think tape will cut it.

But I’ve been printing little things on the front portion 🤷‍♂️

I do this too, normally it works a treat.

Somehow I missed all the warning signs and discussion on the subject. I’ll never forget.

Can’t be much worse than a big hunk of glass?

Awesome! I ordered one, I’ll give it a try

Nice! Yeah I’ve loved this glass. I might go back to it, but I’m gonna try PEI for awhile 🤷‍♂️

I googled it, you put down a magnetic sheet first. Sweet, I ordered one

I’ve definitely done that!

I meant PLA sorry

Nice! Could you link it? Very curious.

Also how does it do with PETG? Apparently PEI/PEO doesn’t do so well?
