Cook Top

Saw this cook top on Woot.com and thought some might be interested for their builds. Would have to run off generator or shore power but the price is great and looks like it might work nicely.

Only SPECIAL induction cookware necessary is that it cannot be aluminum. If a magnet works on it, cook with it.

Campmore.com sells cooktops.
I have a propane cooktop from them that is great if you like propane?
We plan on cooking on a campfire 90% of the time so no oven, only Dutch oven and coal style and my 15-16yr old boys have some meals (breakfast and supper) down patt. I only care about a cooktop in the house/bus to make perculater coffee before the fire is going? Of course I could hook up the electric one but if I ain't at home I am having real food and real coffee? Propane works inside. Just provide an exhaust fan when cooking and a carbon monoxide sensor at all times(just like a fire alarm).

Wifey is WRONG. I have an induction cooktop and I use my stainless steel and cast iron on it. And you don't need another genny, either.

correct you sont needspecial cookware.. justr cant use aluminum.. you can use iron, stainless, steel and such.. but not the all common anodized aluminum cookware...

like others have stated if a magnet attaches to it solidly then it will work

im guessing my stainless steel cookware must not be all stainless then.. as it works on induction.. so must be just a stainless steel coating perhaps on the inside of the pan

Magnets do not stick to true stainless steel but they will stick to almost any stainless steel appliance sold to you.
Real stainless wont hold a magnet and if you want to work with it. You better have the right tools cause you will waste your time and money with the cheap tools.

All comes down to the grade of the stainless. Magnets will stick to all of it that has a high enough percentage of ferrous metal in the alloy. Low ferrous content will not hold a magnet. That is generally regarded as "the good stuff" since it is more rust resistant but it really depends on what the alloy was intended for. Knives typically need a higher ferrous content to hold a decent edge for example.

Word. The only tool that I own that will work with stainless is the angle grinder! I tried a jigsaw with metal blades, a hole saw and hand tools, but they didn't "cut it".

Tried to "bake" biscuits this morning on the cooktop. Well, I achieved about a 95% success rate. I set it up for 11 minutes at 375º and watched through the glass lid. Right idea, wrong mechanization. I had to remove the bottom 5% of each biscuit, as it had turned to charcoal. Next time, I'm trying a longer cook time at a lower temp.
