Dozens of public housing apartments will get plug-in induction ranges as part of the initiative, which aims to eventually shift 10,000 NYCHA homes off the use of polluting fossil fuel appliances.
I picked up a used/open-box Duxtop induction burner to avoid using my gas stove, and it works amazingly well. The only downside is that most countertop induction burners have relatively small coil sizes, so with bigger pans, like my 12" cast iron frying pan, the outer part of the pan doesn’t get hot enough to brown things.
As a solution, I’m planning to pair the induction cooktop with a separate standard glasstop coil burner that has a much larger burner size for my bigger pans (and for my older pots that aren’t compatible with the induction).

Til cast iron is compatible with induction heating.
