Induction cooktop

[rickbern]

So, my gf went to Paris to close on an apartment. Simple little studio, sort of like owning a hotel room.

Naturally, we’re going to cram a dining table in there, so I want a semi capable cooktop, but I doubt if it’ll be used for forty meals a year

I was looking at this guy:

Anyone know if these are okay for light duty cooking? I mostly care about low heat because I’m not going to be able to use my clay pots.

BONUS Q

Are anova precision ovens available in the EU? There’s room for a something under the cooktop, that’s my favorite appliance!

whirlpool is one of the brands I stay far away from, I don;t know how others in the EU see that...

Pay a hundred more and get a respectable german brand like AEG, Siemens, Bosch, Neff...you'll find the similarities between 3 out of the four striking and they are no coincidence. Deals to be had a plenty so never pay list price.

Ah, thanks Marcel! I sort of thought this may have been the case.

As a side note, I may be stating the obvious, but hooking up an induction cooktop may require a special wall socket and power lines.
Shouldn't be a huge issue. Maybe it's already there.

Paris, great!!

SIemens/Bosch/AEG make some very nice ovens, yet Neff is the brand for ovens. Probably a bit more expensive than the Anova, though I only vagely recall it costing around $600.

I bought the top of the line Siemens in 60cm since we don't have more room in our kitchen and paid like 800. No special wiring from our previous ceramic top needed since it is phased the same way as any other cooktop i have ever hooked up.

anova oven is available in eu. just buy it from the website.

anova is owned by electrolux thee days, which technically makes anova swedish

i think you'll even get som more juice out of it running on 220v (according to one of the developers on dave arnold's pod).

Thanks, sumis. I wrote to them to ask, they have no inventory now but they confirmed that they distribute the product in eu.
