Samsung Induction Range or Kenmore Induction Range
Comments (21)After having such a horrible experience with the Kenmore electric range, I am afraid to try Kenmore again. Still have some extended warrranty left which will transfer to the Samsung. I have had great luck with my other Samsung appliances, so I hope I do with the range also. My husband laughed at me when I told him that the appearance of the Kenmore just left me cold, but when he saw it, he felt the same way. Blah. Can't put my finger on why. gscience chick, after baking I usually leave my oven door cracked open in the winter anyway for the heat boost to the kitchen. My son uses Circulon Infinite pans on his induction and really likes them. (Interesting to get cooking advice from my son!) In browsing the net, Circulon has a 25% off sale this month as well as deep discounts on the Infinite (looks like Symmetry will be replacing it). I found an 11 inch skillet for roughly $18 and a twin pack 10 and 12 skillet for $36 (Symmetry), etc. Then on the potsandpans.com website I was able to find the 3qt saucepan for a really good price. I have a few pots and pans that I can use from before (I hope). Two of them have 8 3/4" bases - hope I can use them . . . I love my Calphalon Contemporary saucepans and hate to lose them, but I see that they are coming out with a Contemporary IH line (induction friendly) - in Australia, but not here yet. Maybe soon . . .? Guess my life is kind of dull when I can get so excited about a new range! Any hints and suggestions will be appreciated!...See MoreBest non stick cookware for induction cooktop
Comments (4)Swiss Diamond stopped using PFOA for their non-stick in 2008 and has an induction capable line. I use an Ikea 365+ Teflon pan for eggs and keep the heat low to medium. Teflon doesn't use PFOA, either. Heating these pans beyond 500 degrees can cause awful fumes to be created. But, there's no reason to get even remotely close to that temp with these pans. The teflon coating is non-reactive with other chemicals. For searing, cast iron is a good option. A well-developed seasoning can make them non-stick. I use one of these, as well. Seasoned carbon steel (ex. DeBuyer) is also non-stick and an excellent quick cooking vessel. Very responsive. I have no experience with ceramic pans....See MoreKid-friendly appliances
Comments (18)I designed the entire kitchen to be kid friendly. My kids are 1, 4, and 7. The remodel isn't done yet, but these are the things that are going in: 1. Side-by-side refrigerator with water and ice dispenser outside. The kids can reach things in the refrigerator, and get water/ice themselves. Even at 2 yrs, my kids have been able to open the refrigerator to get pre-prepared sippy cups of milk. My 7-year-old helps clean up and put left-overs in the refrigerator as well as pour drinks or prepare snacks for the 1 and 4 year old. Actually, my 4-year-old enjoys pouring his own milk when the container is 1/4 full or less. Otherwise he asks his brother or an adult to help. 2. Microwave built-in at counter height. This is enough to keep the little one out of the microwave, but still at a safe height for my 7-year-old to heat up meals/snacks for himself and his brother when needed. 3. Dish cabinets and drawers at low-cabinet height for the kids to get their own cups and dishes. 4. Induction stove. My 7-year-old (he's almost 8) likes to cook scrambled eggs. I'm not closely supervising him, but I'm usually in the room. 5. Toe-kick stepstool. I haven't actually added this, but I read about it in a magazine last week and plan to talk to our cabinet maker this week to ask about the possibility. If anyone has this, feedback would be helpful!! The kids regularly unload the dishwasher for me. My 4-year-old does the silverware, my 7-year-old does everything else. Also, my 7-year-old wipes the table, sets the table, clears leftovers and puts them into the refrigerator. The kids need to be independent when I have my hands full with a screaming colicky baby! Our 1-year-old seems to have moved from colick directly to the terrible two's! She is a real challenge. Did I mention that I work full-time? And my husband isn't around for weeks at a time (even when he is around he isn't exactly helpful). I hope our new kitchen will be as kid-friendly and safe as possible. They managed the old kitchen by dragging a step stool and being as agile as monkeys....See Morecookware for thermador induction freedom? help
Comments (4)I think if you want true nonstick that's not Teflon, you're pretty much limited to ceramic finishes, like Thermolon. Scanpan, Swiss Diamond and some others claim to be not Teflon, but that's not really true. Teflon is PTFE, so any pan with a PTFE coating is essentially Teflon, no matter what marketing spin is used. There are some pans that are almost nonstick, like cast iron and carbon steel, but they're not at all dishwasher friendly. They don't require much in the way of care, so that's certainly something you might want to consider. Consider DeBuyer or Paderno carbon steel. http://www.amazon.com/DeBuyer-Mineral-Element-Frypan-Round/dp/B00462QP0W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382487672&sr=8-1&keywords=mineralb#customerImages http://www.amazon.com/Paderno-Heavy-Carbon-Steel-Frying/dp/B000RWGC12/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1382487883&sr=1-1&keywords=paderno+carbon+steel+pan or Lodge cast iron. http://www.amazon.com/Lodge-LCS3-Chefs-Skillet-10-inch/dp/B00008GKDJ/ref=sr_1_2?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1382487929&sr=1-2&keywords=lodge+cast+iron+skillet Both carbon steel and bare cast iron do require seasoning, but once seasoned they're pretty low maintenance. They're also almost impossible to ruin. My best advice is to read the many threads both here and at Chow for tips on living with them. Chow is especially helpful for carbon steel....See MoreBecky
