Good points. I don't mind buying a couple more pots though. And from what I read black iron is ok? As far as losing power, the Generac will take care of that.


I use cast iron and my enamel coated cast dutch oven fairly often.

Some grades of stainless work as well

And I think if you wanted to keep some cheap teflon pans around you can use a pot setter

ETA: Here is an example of what I'm referring to

You could use that so you don't have to do an immediate wholesale cookware swap out

Same here.

I have all clad pots and all work very well, except for my asparagus steamer, which seems to be made of stainless.

I think I might just try that pot setter for my asparagus steamer, that is if I didn't give it away.

That's cool. Save a few bucks that way. Thx.

Another thing to note about induction: the cooktops require a few special installation considerations. There must be sufficient airflow beneath/around the cooktop's heat generating components.


This may be an issue. My electric cooktop sits on an 8x6 island. Below the cooktop is my slide-out pots/pan drawer. Some kinda modification will have to be done if that's the case. I was hoping it would just be a quick switch...yank one out, drop new one in.
