I quite like it, and it's great in many aspects, but it also has a few significant shortcomings for me. Not being able to use all cookware, especially a proper wok (not the flat-bottomed ones), not able to char/roast stuff directly over the flame, and I also hate touch controls. Gas is simple, versatile, better temperature control, also works when there's power outtage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't remain hot after turning off and I've found is more consistent when cooking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco 3,008 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Anyone use pressure cookers or air fryers? We were gifted both, and they are both very interesting and make cooking easier and still very tasty. Last night I got some salmon, and barely sprinkled some seasoning on it, with some oil and lemon, and then put it in the air fryer, and it came out perfect. I didn't take a photo, but it looked like this and definitely still had it's moist and flaky center. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been told to get an air fryer for a while, but haven’t bothered yet because of how much people have told me to get one . Salmon looks delightful! Edit: I know it’s not yours, but it’s made me want to cook the salmon I have. Edited September 4, 2021 by JoshBRFC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top plates always remain hot after cooking till they cool down with gas? My induction is instantly cool. Unless you’re talking about the old style ceramic induction.

Moderator Tommy 12,619 Posted September 8, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted September 8, 2021 Made Couscous salad yesterday. Couscous is seriously great, and you can combine it with so many different things. Today I made pasta (Farfalle) with a simple, tomato - feta sauce. Also included caramelized onions, grated carrot and herbs de provence. Good stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a professional kitchen stocks take all say but they can be made in 4 hours. Amazing things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
