Title: Induction hot plate?
Post by: JerryP on September 05, 2018, 08:12:42 AM
Hi guys,

I've made a couple of cheeses now, and am struggling slightly with the 'raise the temperature x degrees in y minutes' on my standard electric cooker. I think it would be easier using an induction plate - does anyone have any thoughts? I've seen a few references to them on the forum, but they don't seem to be across the board. I keep looking at Amazon wondering whether to take the plunge and buy yet another bit of kit...

Any advice would be most appreciated!

Thanks,

JerryP  :)

I had the chance to use one in a cheese making class a while back. It was quite nice, the pot you use has to be magnetic to start. The heat is even (no hot spots on the bottom and no scorching) and they heat the milk up quickly. I'm not sure it will help you heat to x in y any easier though.

They are fantastic, I quit using my stove a long while back and use it for every cheese I make, I just love it :)
I used a double boiler for a long time just didn't have the control I have with the induction.
