This is an excellent video and I hadn't even looked for these pads until now. I've been using a sheet of parchment paper for frying or anything that spatters. Slight discoloration of the paper sometimes but I like that I can throw the paper away and there are no streaks from trying to get everything clean. I've seen the disc you can use inside a non-ferrous pan to boil things. I searched Amazon and found a square pad by this company that is large enough to cover almost th eentire single burner I have. I'm so glad the algorithym popped this one up for me. Thanks for taking the time to make the video.
Awesome. These induction pads are holding up very well. The length of time and high heat they can withstand is amazing. I use them when I pull something hot out of my microwave oven.
I am getting my second induction stove in the next few days. I had no idea that you could use silicone mats and parchment paper on the cooktop. Thanks for the demonstration. I’m hoping to keep the new cooktop scratch free and this will help.
I use those pads for a couple of years? Love them. When I finish cooking I set a wire trivet under the pan. It does two things for me. First allows the pan to cool and then if I forget to turn the stove it shuts down automatically.
@@mattkojetin8198 thank you for watching. We like them too. Since we use iron skillets we needed to be sure that we never hit the stovetop accidentally. The pads help. The idea about the trivet is a good one. There have been a few times that we have left the stove running. Do you mind if I create a video about that?
Thank you for the comment. You will enjoy the induction range. I use it every day and it works very well. The induction pads are holding up very well too.
I think you will be happy with induction, be careful about which brand and model you get. The power and quality/long-term reliability vary tremendously. European brands do tend to be more expensive, but are also more powerful and reliable (as they've been making them a lot longer than most other sources). BTW, be wary of 'affodable' Samsung and LG induction ranges. They are cheaper for a reason (and tend to have power inverter failures far too often), as building the electronic components rugged enough to last, costs more and they are competing on price and features, not long-term reliability (yet). You get what you pay for, more or less... FWIW, we were using gas ranges in our household for well over 30 years, but now have a Beko induction range and it's been amazing overall - not perfect, but really well built and designed. I'm a Engineer and a convert, and not goiing back!
Thank you for watching and commenting. Lids work very well. Baking parchment paper works well too. You can line the top of the stove with it and cook on the parchment. When done, remove the parchment paper and the mess along with it.
Because this appliance is an electric range with induction surface elements, the oven section is just like any other electric range. That vent is where the oven vents. You can buy induction cooking units that are not part of a range. Therefore, you wouldn’t have a vent to avoid.
We have a portable induction stove top that works very well for outdoor cooking in our backyard and we take it when we travel. We have used it in hotels, and when we car camp at a site that has power.
Thanks for the video and replying to viewers questions. Im moving to a new place in the near future God's willing. I noticed a ceramic or induction type hob. I being British Born, personally prefer gas but happy tp switch for environmental reaaons. The hob is already installed so i won't be able to replace it. I was very concerned about the heavy stainless steel pots and pans i use. I cook for a big family and guests. I was looking for aomto keep the stove tops scratch free.

I'm not going to buy new pans and don't qant to damage the surface, so this is a relief. Thanks for your time and clarity in the matter.
we have always just cooked on paper towels & as soon as you lift the pot off the cook zone area the indcution for that zone shuts down. We cover the ceramic top with a 36x30inch silicon pad to protect it & to allow for more space to serve foods. I’ve found that cooking over our large silicon pad reduces the strength of the cook zone.
@@patricklewis8591 I have a similar video demonstrating baking paper. You are correct. A large silicone pad moves the metal to the edge of induction effectiveness. We use the thin pads.
I have been using a thin silicone mat for a while on my induction burner. I could use a thicker one intended for oven use and cut it to fit. His do look better.
@@Linus007 Those seem a bit thick. The really thin silicone mats I have been using degrade, they are about as thick as freezer bag. I just cut up a fiber, unknown fiber likely glass fibers, mat that is intended for baking. It was 5 dollars at Walmart, down from 10 a few years ago. Worked when I used for cooking rice right after I wrote that.
How do the induction pads impact the efficiency? If I understand correctly, induction's effectiveness decreases proportionate to the distance from its target. Neither silicon nor nylon are conductive, so those substances aren't helping the induction process. Just putting a barrier between the pot and the glass.
No issues so far. We are pretty careful about getting anything into the vents. My last oven had event in the same section. Probably the most important thing is not to cover it.
I cannot easily compare because I have not tested the difference, but the studies that I have read are showing that induction is more efficient than any of the other methods. Right now the cost per unit of energy is lower for natural gas in my region. I am estimating that the electrical cost versus the gas cost to cook a meal is very close with the induction winning. We have it for the immense amount of control and the capability to quickly heat a pan.
Thanks, the pads look like they would do a good job protecting the cooktop from scratches. I’ve seen that here are issues about carbon steel pans warping on induction cooktops. I wonder if the pads would moderate the heat transfer enough to lessen the risk?
Nice one but i wouldn't worry about water boiling.. I would like to see how it would stand against lets say steak or similar high temperature high heat situation where there is little to no help and oil inside go above 200 degree that is what i would like to see..btw it was interesting to see those kind of pads even exists to be honest.
As long as there is something in the pan, the temperature does not increase to the melting point for these pads. I did a video that has a pressure cooker being used for over 30 minutes. Additionally, I have cooked steaks and hamburgers on a griddle without any severe issues. An empty pan on the very high setting burn these pads.
@@shane984 Ahh! Most of my cooking equipment is cast-iron. The pans that I use for boiling water either an enamel coated iron or an induction ready pan.

My ideal is to completely ditch gas and then I wouldn't pay £100/year on standing charges too but it's a slow, expensive process

With the induction stove, we found that it is even more convenient and responsive. You are right on the solar panels as well. During power outages, we use the portable stoves, or potentially the portable induction stove, but that requires a generator to be running.. What we like most about the induction stove is that it is not excessively hot after finishing a meal on the stove. It is nice to take a hot pan off of the stove and not burn our fingers if we come into contact with areas near the burners. Take a look around on my TH-cam channel. We have a pretty interesting video called gas cornucopia. showed and demonstrated several gas stoves. th-cam.com/video/R4O2cw__2H0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Cxqals_Wjxh2Xqe4
There are some cheaper good quality brands for induction like Klarstein, Bosch, Inventum and Whirlpool. A 60 cm (24') wide model for 4 pots shouldn't cost you more than 500 dollars. The issue with all cooktops in my opinion is that they are too small if you have several large pots, my solution was to get some seperate induction plates which you can place on the counter anywhere, you only need a few outlets and they are so small you can store them in a small drawer.
@@realityandnaturepill thank you for the suggestion. We have a separate induction plate that was used as try before you buy. We use it outdoors when something with a lot of odor needs to be cooked. We also take it on road trips with us and use it to make breakfast in the mornings and hotels.
Is the magnetic coil the same size as the circle on the glass? If it is not and they never are, induction is a scam. And if you use a pot/pan with a large base, you will not get even preheating, especially in cast iron and carbon steel, perhaps up to 75-100*. Try cooking an omelette with this differential, and my carbon steel warps each time. Protective mats just indicate that glasstops are a poor choice. Viva gas burners.
@@alexandermayer2026 the stove works just fine for us with cast iron and other pots. I make omelettes every day. Heating is to the edge of the hob. I see a future video to demonstrate. Is your induction stove not working well?
Technically, that pan is not empty. It is coated with a layer of oil from when you seasoned it. That’s what was smoking. Most cooking appliances use conduction for heat transfer. I.e. flame (or element) touches the pan thereby transferring the heat, then the pan heats up which then touches and heats the food. This type of heat transfer is ‘conduction’. With induction, It’s actually the other way around. The induction element uses a pan to create a magnetic field around the food. This food heats then that heat transfers to the pan because they are touching each other, then the heat from the pan may heat the glass surface because they are also touching each other. You know how cold is a result of slowing down the vibration of the molecules? Like water becomes a solid (ice) when the vibration slows dramatically. Then water can become a gas (steam) when its molecules are excited, caused to vibrate much more quickly, eventually flying away from each other. Induction uses the pan to creat a magnetic field that excites the molecules in the food itself, thus making the food ‘hot’. This is one of the reasons it’s more efficient cause you lose a lot of heat from conduction transferring.
With all due respect, this is entirely incorrect. The magnetic field heats only ferrous materials. The field heats the pan, which heats the food. The cooking process is via conduction. A microwave oven will excite water molecules and long chain fat molecules to cause heating but the induction stove will not. It might induce a current into any iron in your food but more than 99% of the mass of your food will be non-ferrous.
Paper towels do work at lower temperatures. I have noticed at higher temperatures they start to turn brown. These mats will be around after 20 years of use. I feel that that is better versus the waste of paper towels. Less waste. A better option for you would be to use baking parchment paper. It will resist the heat better. Thank you for your comments and opinions.
IMHO: I WOULD THINK THAT USING ANY "INDUCTION" APPLIANCE WOULD BE VERY HAZARDOUS, TI ANYONE WITHE ANY "PACEMAKER, OR, OTHER IMPLANTED MEDICAL DEVICES...(?)!!
We are not using either. Thank you for commenting. I cannot provide any experiences for these medical devices. We suggest contacting a physician for medical advice when near an induction stove or a microwave oven.

Take a look around on my TH-cam channel. We have a pretty interesting video called gas cornucopia. showed and demonstrated several gas stoves. th-cam.com/video/R4O2cw__2H0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Cxqals_Wjxh2Xqe4
There are some cheaper good quality brands for induction like Klarstein, Bosch, Inventum and Whirlpool.
A 60 cm (24') wide model for 4 pots shouldn't cost you more than 500 dollars.
The issue with all cooktops in my opinion is that they are too small if you have several large pots, my solution was to get some seperate induction plates which you can place on the counter anywhere, you only need a few outlets and they are so small you can store them in a small drawer.
@@realityandnaturepill thank you for the suggestion. We have a separate induction plate that was used as try before you buy. We use it outdoors when something with a lot of odor needs to be cooked. We also take it on road trips with us and use it to make breakfast in the mornings and hotels.
What can be used for electric glass top so that the glass is protected instead of putting the pot directly on...thus garnering possible scratches.
The pads in this video do what you are asking for an induction stove. They are not suitable for any other type of stove.
Is the magnetic coil the same size as the circle on the glass? If it is not and they never are, induction is a scam. And if you use a pot/pan with a large base, you will not get even preheating, especially in cast iron and carbon steel, perhaps up to 75-100*. Try cooking an omelette with this differential, and my carbon steel warps each time. Protective mats just indicate that glasstops are a poor choice. Viva gas burners.
@@alexandermayer2026 the stove works just fine for us with cast iron and other pots. I make omelettes every day. Heating is to the edge of the hob. I see a future video to demonstrate.
Is your induction stove not working well?
Technically, that pan is not empty. It is coated with a layer of oil from when you seasoned it. That’s what was smoking.
Most cooking appliances use conduction for heat transfer. I.e. flame (or element) touches the pan thereby transferring the heat, then the pan heats up which then touches and heats the food. This type of heat transfer is ‘conduction’.
With induction, It’s actually the other way around. The induction element uses a pan to create a magnetic field around the food. This food heats then that heat transfers to the pan because they are touching each other, then the heat from the pan may heat the glass surface because they are also touching each other.
You know how cold is a result of slowing down the vibration of the molecules? Like water becomes a solid (ice) when the vibration slows dramatically. Then water can become a gas (steam) when its molecules are excited, caused to vibrate much more quickly, eventually flying away from each other.
Induction uses the pan to creat a magnetic field that excites the molecules in the food itself, thus making the food ‘hot’.
This is one of the reasons it’s more efficient cause you lose a lot of heat from conduction transferring.
Thank you for watching the video, and your comments.
With all due respect, this is entirely incorrect. The magnetic field heats only ferrous materials. The field heats the pan, which heats the food. The cooking process is via conduction. A microwave oven will excite water molecules and long chain fat molecules to cause heating but the induction stove will not. It might induce a current into any iron in your food but more than 99% of the mass of your food will be non-ferrous.
I believe they have big sheets of silicone that cover the entire induction cooktop.
Easier to keep clean. You just wipe it clean.
If they are translucent enough to see where you put the pans, then it would be very helpful! Thanks for commenting.
Burning a glaze on your pan is not seasoning it…
@@jeffclark5268 not sure what to mean but thank you for way.
Hey I found that water boiled with induction stove taste softer. Do u fell that too?
I cannot say that I have tasted any difference.
I will not buy an induction stove only to have to baby it and treat it like a special flower.
@@ariea.devalois1564 the risk of scratching is rare. We use it with iron skillets as an extra precaution.

Paper towel is better and cheaper. Those mats are a waste of money.
Paper towels do work at lower temperatures. I have noticed at higher temperatures they start to turn brown. These mats will be around after 20 years of use. I feel that that is better versus the waste of paper towels. Less waste.
A better option for you would be to use baking parchment paper. It will resist the heat better. Thank you for your comments and opinions.
I just took off the sand cast finish off all my cast iron with a belt sander
IMHO: I WOULD THINK THAT USING ANY "INDUCTION" APPLIANCE WOULD BE VERY HAZARDOUS, TI ANYONE WITHE ANY "PACEMAKER, OR, OTHER IMPLANTED MEDICAL DEVICES...(?)!!
We are not using either. Thank you for commenting. I cannot provide any experiences for these medical devices. We suggest contacting a physician for medical advice when near an induction stove or a microwave oven.
