Old Dog Learning New Tricks!

This range replaced an extremely old 1970s electric coil stove that still worked great but was very difficult to clean. I also have much more experience using gas stoves so an induction stove has been a huge learning curve. I knew ahead of time none of my existing cookware were compatible with induction cooktop so I purchased a heat diffuser plate. It works.... sort of. When sauteing food, even on the highest heat, it more or less just simmers and takes forever to cook so after two days of that I immediately purchased a new set of cookware that was induction compatible. Once I got the new cookware I was finally able to experience the true wonder that is induction cooking. I am amazed by how quickly water boils (that's the ultimate test) and how everything heats up super quickly. However, there's still a learning curve because you can't actually see the cooktop light up like you do with coils and you can't see the flame like with gas so you need to figure out just how hot each setting from 1-9 is by trial and error. As for the oven, it's a standard electric oven but I love how it's digital and you can see the temperature as it preheats and you can either set a timer or a cook time; with cook time the oven will automatically shut off once the time is done, which is so nice! And I love being able to monitor it through the SmartThings app, and all the notification sounds when preheat is complete or when cook time is done. What's new to me is that the broiler is at the top of the oven, rather than the lower pull-out drawer at the bottom... instead the bottom section is a storage drawer! Hurray, finally a dedicated space for my baking trays! How nifty! I've still got lots to learn with this range because of all the fancy technology but the few things I've used so far, I'm loving it. Just make sure your cookware is compatible by doing the magnet test. :)
