Why is it so incredible? Is that correct—it’s electric, not induction? attractive range.

@Michael It has several features that my old inexpensive stove could not do, such an air fryer, defrost, bread proofing, dehydrator, and warming eye in the middle. :grin: I’m overjoyed with it.

My induction cooktop is that item under the coffee maker next to the stove.

@Mitchelle Considering you were purchasing a brand-new appliance, is there any reason you didn’t purchase an induction range?

@Anne How could I find out how much OP was required to spend?

@Michael I have one pan that is suitable with induction. My cookware, which is worth about two thousand dollars, is incompatible with an induction stove.

@Mitchelle I’m just curious, what kind of cookware, besides cast iron or steel, do you have that costs so much?

@Bailey Aluminium, copper, and silver, all used for their high conductivity, are not, on their own, induction compatible, and neither is some stainless steel. Stainless steel can be either induction compatible or incompatible, depending on whether the alloy has nickel in it. The main types of stainless are austenitic, ferritic, and martensitic. The latter two do not have nickel and are ferro-magnetic, so can be used on induction hobs.

Bases of pans may have a sandwiched layer that is ferro-magnetic even if the main pan is not, so those can still be used on induction hobs. Some have a sandwiched base with copper or aluminium for conduction, so not all sandwiched bases are necessarily suitable for induction.

Older stainless pans are less likely to have been manufactured with induction in mind.

@Kristen That was a really educational piece. I appreciate you taking the time to reply. I had no notion that certain types of stainless steel were non-ferromagnetic.

@Bailey I have cupboards full of skillets, pots, and pans, most of which cost between thirty and sixty dollars apiece.

I wanted induction, so it was a difficult decision. LP was my companion. After three months, we are still in love with the large double oven LP. I really adore everything about our THOR package.

What is the status of the THOR? Thinking about purchasing one, but unsure of its dependability

@Dacosta So far, it’s great.

In addition to the warming eye, which is a godsend, there are a few more features that I truly like.

The oven had an integrated thermometer, but my MIL smashed it when attempting to integrate it with contemporary technology :upside_down_face:
