Induction cooktop is extremely fast and hot! If you heat it up using max power without oil or water, your wok going fry within 3 minutes

It will take sometime to change color.

My IKEA 365 pan turn brown at bottom after sometime. And some pot are still perfectly nice.

I wouldn't care much about this burn mark. It is expecting some color change for cooking stuff.

That 5 mode probably is very low watt.

What setting do you normally use? Low, medium or high?

Frankly speaking, I don't no what setting is it.

I just put a mug on it and press the power button. That it. 1 min, and I get the hot water.

For cook maggi mee, too hot, just press down button to the step it slow enough. Or up button if too slow.

Your hob vitro ceramic? Mug also can heat up unless got metal bottom, the hob can't be induction.

Sorry. It is a SS mug. Something size of 400-500ml.

Guess you see before with zebra brand.

I always wonder is there any different of using different size cook set to boil the same amount of water.

And induction should be boil faster than gas or fuel or wood stove. But have you guys test it out ?

So idoblu boss have question problem about his induction, and suddenly pop out this doubt thing.

Decide to give it a test.

1st testing is the size of the cook set on induction. Will bigger size boil faster?

I use a mug and a bow to test. Both set to max 2kw with 500ml of water. The result








Confirm bigger size boil faster. As the contact surface is bigger. Which help to induce more. A bow help to save 45sec of time compare a mug.

2nd is compare with different kind of hob. I don't have gas hob. (Actually i have but no gas) So can't test with it. I only have fuel and wood stove.

This is the fuel stove using mineral spirit. Can be said quite hot fuel.




This is wood stove. An efficiency wood stove. Not what you guys think of an ancient tech.



I forget to snap shoot the timer. But not mistaken it is about 3.15min.

The result is induction is much more faster compare fuel and wood stove.

Lol ok. I used to use those kopitiam style enamel big mug with cover. Missed those.

Good and useful post. Efficient wood stove is designed for camping? Should try a volcano kettle.

Walau, you not asking me carry such big and heavy volcano kettle inside jungle kua. Anyway it still not that efficiency as compare to size.

The wood stove is only a kg weight and small enough stuff inside the bag. Beside boil water, it can use for cooking and convert to BBQ.

It is for outdoor and prepper.

Thanks ozak for the experiment 👍🏻

if you stir fry big wok, u can't use induction cooker. And food cooked with wok able to generate Wok Hay ! more aromatic.

Lol, they come in different sizes and standard issue for the NZ Army. Kelly Kettle makes them in different sizes even for boy scouts and they sell then with pots and pans and burning base that all fits like a doll in a doll in a doll fashion and then packed in a carrying bag.

great effort ozak.

OK, when i have time i will test Induction Vs Gas Vs Ceramic Hob since i do sell all three of these hobs. Never tested them before but would b a great idea to c which is boil faster

I only tested on gas before for 800ml water it takes ard 4min with a small to medium size pot.

Thumbsup

If you have, try with 3 different size pots using 1 liter of distilled water.

I know about this volcano kettle when sturdy the different before that. (What is best wood stove I can buy) It do have an advantage which it come with a kettle combine as a stove. Many don't. But the size matter if not the weight is still consent me.

Why I don't choose the volcano is because of the size which are not good for packing into your Backpack. It takeout a lot of space. 2nd is the kettle. I don't need the kettle as it waste of space. Kettle is an extra not require thing if you're weight conscious. 3rd is the fire up the stove. It is not easy to start a fire using wood. Specially here in MY. Most of the jungle here is wet and high moisture. Require high skill. I m kindagarden level only. Volcano don't have an extra tool inside to help start a fire. 4rd is the efficiency. I only need 4-5pcs of wood size of 15x15x120mm to cook a maggi mee.

Yeah, Please do some testing. It help your business and better understanding to explain to the customer.

Where can I get the distilled water cheap?

Here KL freaking expensive which a 5L cost RM35.

I used to boil my own using a batch distiller. Hikes up the electricity bill yes. Alternatively, Spritzer have their own dispenser and 5l disposable container. Cost about RM11. If your live near Hulu Langat or Fraser's, the locals who frequent those places after heavy rain nearly dawn or night collect the water that drips out of the out pipes besides the hills slope. My supplier told me he took a measurement and it's 4-5ppm which is distill water grade

how about butane canister can vs LPG ? which one more cost saving?

I saw giant promo selling butane can x4 rm18.9 only. Steamboat restaurant also use butane cans.
