It's great that you have tried out the concept of induction, already, so you know that you like it, and smart to get a portable gas burner for emergencies.

I have a portable single burner gas ring, that I have used a few times when the power was out. It uses small like 1 kilo gas bottles (caterers use a lot these on location, or on buffets.)

Again if I understood clearly, if you use adapters your induction is like an electric stove, the adapters serving as heating elements. I might be completely wrong, though!<br />Maybe Ken can buy such an adapter and see how it works on his portable induction device with aluminum pots?<br />chmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765675930520613520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-29869462129012449532021-06-06T08:20:28.445+02:002021-06-06T08:20:28.445+02:00The first stove we bought when we came to Saint-Ai...The first stove we bought when we came to Saint-Aignan all those years ago has what they called a vitro-céramique cooktop. I hated it. The burners didn't get hot enough fast enough, and if I need to boil a big pot of water or soup, it took forever.

I have one of those and hate it. If anything boils over, it bakes on and can't be gotten off, and I am a messy cooker of rice. Plus, I'd hate to have to give up my pair of nice copper pots.<br /><br />Still, induction seems to be the hot (oh dear, sorry about that) new thing, so there must be lots of advantages.
