I called Morebeer and they say my pot is magnetic, I’ll check when I get home but I already had the wife order the Max Burton 6000 1800W burner. I figure it will get used in the kitchen even if it isn’t useful for brewing.
One way or another I’ll be electric this winter!
[quote=“brans041”]I have 220V service in the kitchen so that is why I got this one:
http://www.amazon.com/6530-ProChef-3000 ... B0037Z7HQ0I got one on amazon that the package was damaged, or the product was returned. Got it for $170.
Here is the 110V 1800W variety:
http://www.amazon.com/Max-Burton-6000-1 ... pd_sim_k_3The 1800watt top has a smaller surface, and only supports 30lbs. So in order to use it you need to put two 2x2 on the sides to support it. Since the device uses induction it will heat the kettle up to 1/2 inch above the surface of the cook top.
Also:
YOU NEED INDUCTION COOKWARE TO USE IT! Don’t forget that.
There are other models and prices. They are nice with options about boil temp and work well with additions, as the cook top does not stay hot like normal electrical if you get a boil over starting, just shut it off. No need to spritz it or move it like conventional heat.
On my next brew day I will take pictures and post pros of induction. It was well worth it.[/quote]
You have the 220V service in the kitchen but the plug for you main stove and the plug for this induction cooker aren’t the same correct?
Did you have to buy an adapter cord to allow your induction cooker to plug into the kitchen receptacle?
(This is because the cord on the 220V is a Standard 20amp with 3 prong. The kitchen one is bigger.)
