David Venable and Mary!

David what kind of cookware would you recommend to me so I can cook on a glass top stove and a invection plate. I have seen the plates on qvc and would like to invest in one to go along with my stove.

The hosts don't respond to your questions here. You can contact him via Facebook or possibly on one of his blogs or send him an email.

The hosts don't reply on FB either. Good luck trying to get an answer. If you have FB maybe try contacting Meredith (Blue Jean Chef) or Eric Theiss.

For an invection you will need cookware that can complete a magnetic connection with the stovetop...that is what allows the pan to heat, but not anything else. Take a magnet and apply to bottom of cookware you wish to use. If the magnet sticks, the cookware will work with the invection. If the magnet doesn't stick the invection won't work with that pan. Oh, and the pan must be absolutely FLAT on the bottom; those rounded curved pans (omelette type) won't work well.

For glasstop stoves.....first, let me say be careful if you choose white. ANY scratches will eventually fill in with the dirt and grease of normal cooking and will turn a muddy brown color which does not come out. Period. It does not come out. No cleaning, no bleaching, nothing works.

If you chose black glasstop then you won't see the scratches/dirt but the stovetop will never again look shiny clean. It always appears somewhat "smeared looking."

The brochure that came with my glasstop says "be careful when setting pots and pans down, and PLACE them on the burner; do not slide, or scratches will result."

I have a black glass top & love it. It has very few minor scratches. To remove the smeared look, I keep a spray bottle of water & vinegar. Wipes right off with a clean towel or paper towel. Have had it about 10 years. That's just my experience with glass top, and if I cooked a lot more it might be showing more wear!

I had to get all new cookware recently because I am now only cooking with convection and after searching for a long time bought the Symmetry Circulon set from Macy's. It not only works well on induction but also on glasstop. Here is a picture.

magpie03,

First of all you mean induction, NOT invection. In my opinion, the portable induction cooker (plate) that you want is the Nuwave Portable Induction Cooker. There are several models, but look for the one whare temperature is adjustable in 5 degrere increments. Older models are temperature adjustable in 10 degree increments. As for what cookware to choose, you need to look for cookware where a magnet will stick to the bottom of the pot or pan. If a magnet will stick it's induction-ready cookware.

I don't see the relevance of this on a thread asking about cookware.

First of all, I think you mean where temperature is adjustable, NOT whare. I agree about the 5 degree increments, I have a NuWave that I love so I tried to go cheap and get the Aldi version when it was on sale around Christmas and it has 10 degree increments and is very hard to get just the right temp. I also believe there are various wattage models of the NuWave. I'd suggest going with the highest watt you can.

Yes, of course. Little did I know that anyone would have considered starting a thread about happy dance v. butt-bumping. My apologies.
