We have our first induction cooktop, a Wolf, after cooking exclusively on gas. the cooktop does not make the very annoying noise, but certain pans do. We have only Le Creuset and All Clad, both of which we were told were recommended for induction cooktops. No sound from the Le Creuset, but certain All Clad pans seem to be worse than others. In our experience the frying pans are the worst. Heavier pots and saucepans not as much. And, for whatever reason, one particular non stick pan was the worst of all, so we stopped using it because it was THAT ANNOYING.

I decided on getting the new Vault, which is also Smart Divide. We wash a lot of dishes by hand, so I need two sides, and I like all the accessories that Kohler has, like the dish drain/rack. I do a lot of cleaning in the kitchen by filling one side with dish soap and clorox, using a dish towel to wipe everything down. Having two bowls lets me do that easier and faster..... ....and having that lower bridge in the middle means if I forget and leave the water on, I won't flood the entire kitchen.... ...not like that has ever happened! LOL

The 'Box Of Chocolate' seeds I bought, have finally just germinated, over the past 4 days. So I have a few of each of the 5 different varieties of 'BOC' datura plants. 'Purple Lace', 'Purple Confusion', 'E', and 'Purple Specks', and 'Tri-Color' At least they are up and starting to grow. I STILL cant get Double Yellow datura seeds!!! I pay for them, and pay for them, and I keep getting the double purple/white ones. The last pack of seeds i bought, all of 10 seeds, for $3,...i planted them all and after 3 weeks, none came up! I uncovered them and not a root tip in sight. But my 'BOC' ones came up in about 9 days. I told the seller this, and he SAYS he sent me replacement ones,...3 weeks ago...from GA.! I have opened a case against him on EBay, and I STILL dont have the double yellow ones! Cant trust anyone on EBay to send me these double yellow ones. I give up.

Peabody, ozone can cause problems but most are caused by the conversion of things like gasoline fumes and other pollutants by the sun. The sun is the greatest generator of UV light in this universe. Which is why there are ozone alerts in big cities. There are so many triggers to asthma that for me to say if the UV light would not effect you would be wrong but if your house has good ventilation so that the air is refreshed there is less likelihood of a problem. Depending on what triggers your asthma and the knowledge that the amount of ozone generated in your cleaner is probably less that what is generated when the sun comes through the windows and hits other pollutants cleaning of the air passing through your cleaner is probably a good thing. If you are wondering about "other pollutants"? Most things in your house as they fade or are cleaned and the cleaner dries release some type of particles, dry or moist into the atmosphere of your house. https://www3.epa.gov/region1/airquality/oz_prob.html
