A few weeks before we start our kitchen renovation, we asked for advice from friends and neighbors on how they survived the experience. But nothing really prepares you for the daily inconvenience of not having fully functional kitchen. Although my children voted to eat in a local Taqueria whenever possible, I was determined to continue cooking at home – and do better than passable meals that everyone would eat. After a failed attempt to use a microwave (I don’t want to talk about it), I bought a Dilstop portable induction table burnerPut it on the workbench in the garage and make each meal on it in the rest of the reshaping.
The Dilstop portable hob usually costs $ 139 but right now you can get it for about $ 10 discount on Amazon.

How does an induction baking table work?
I didn’t really understand until I have one, but an induction hob generates heat by creating a magnetic field that flows into a metal saucepan. Not all metal molds will work – my aluminum molds have remained as cold as my range of disconnected gas. Instead, you need a saucepan or a magnetic metal pan as in cast iron or stainless steel. I have several Enameled cast iron pots who worked very well and I bought a 10 -inch stainless steel flood For frying.
I started simply, by making pasta, using sauce from a pot, but at the end of the reshaping, I was doing baja fish tacos from zero and homemade Bolognese sauce. And I was surprised how much I liked to cook on it. My family started to avoid me while I was in the garage to cook because I would boast the way the induction was incredible. “Look!” I would tell them. “The hob remains cool!” Or: “Check that! When I remove the pot from the hob, it’s a heating break!”
During a heating party of the kitchen that we organized for our neighbors after the end of our new kitchen, I learned that our friend on the other side of the street had the same love for her induction table. We huddled like allies, devoted to this magnetic object.
Now that the kitchen is over, I think about the ways to continue using the cooking table. Maybe when I prepare a big meal and I need an additional burner, I can configure it on the counter. Maybe I can use it outside during a barbecue. Or maybe I can give it to one of my children when they installed their own house. I love it so much when it comes to exchanging our range of gas, I will get an induction table.
