Even though it's only about 10 years old, I'm looking at replacing my Samsung electric kitchen range with induction. I've used a little 120V countertop induction unit several times and I love it. So now it's time to go for the real thing...
Similarly, I bought a portable 120V induction countertop unit intended for my RV, but ended up using it a lot in the home.
My wife now cooks nearly exclusively with it, but then she enlists the help of other appliances for the meals: air fryer, toaster oven, microwave oven, rice cooker, Instant Pot, electric kettle. Not all at the same time, of course.
Recently, I asked, if we have been solidly sold on the induction, why not replace the range? This double-oven range with glass cooktop is 20-year-old, but still in very good shape, but my wife hardly uses the cooktop anymore.
My wife said no, she was fine with using the single induction burner.
Can't spend money even if I want to.
She said perhaps we could remodel the outdoor cooking center in the covered back patio, and install the current oven out there, then we would have room for the new unit. And we would then have 3 full-sized ovens to cook for a crowd when the need arises.
Currently, I only have an electric cooktop out in the patio, but a whole oven? It's tough enough to clean things up after a dust storm without having an oven out there. I dunno.
