The 11yo is now regularly cooking their own pasta with the #induction hob, and wow is that a lot less for a parent to worry about than the hot electric stovetop or an open gas flame (it's still scalding hot water though, make sure they know how to manage it.) There is even a timer setting so it just turns off if you forget. Also, I highly recommend raising a self-feeding child

I shot this video w/Penn Environment last fall and the crew did an amazing job putting these clean energy stories together.

*Especially* given the ongoing, escalating assault on the environment, I'm proud that the things I've already done (#solar #induction #EV #native #plants) will keep on making a difference for decades to come, regardless.

"they’re investing not only in cleaner energy for themselves, but also a cleaner world for their grandchildren’s generation."

I posted this yesterday, but I should have noted that my Cambridge Element ‘Probability and Inductive Logic’ is free to download for the next four weeks. Get amongst it!

If y'all are claiming any clean energy tax credits this year, you might want to file early — Trump's likely to roll back whatever he can.

“I Tried the Tesla of Induction Stoves. It Could Be the Future.”

https://apple.news/AYnkf36hQR0exuJM8K6kukw

Unfortunate comparison with Tesla, however:

“the battery charges at various points throughout the day (or even as you are using the range, if necessary) and then stores that power to use when you are cooking. The stored power enables the [110v] range to operate with the same capacity as one that is connected to [240v].”

And the future arrives tomorrow.

The #food system is one of the most meaningful places to address #ClimateChange.

Have you been curious about switching from gas to #induction? This game-changing cooktop is faster, cleaner, more precise, and a win for the environment.

My new ep of Serving Up Science is all about why it makes sense to switch when it’s time to replace your range. https://youtu.be/JyTvHQnHq14?si=4twIzt-8cfltiVfb #energy

Why do we say that induction is stronger than deduction?

It depends, because induction is stronger than deduction in several ways.

Formal strength lies in part in what sort of problem the method can work on. Induction can work on stuff that deduction can't even begin to work on.

Strength of output lies in how well the outcomes tolerate contradiction. An inductive conclusion can withstand quite a bit of contradiction. Deductive outcomes cannot withstand any contradiction at all.

These two are related, though.
An inductive outcome can be formed from input that contains contradictions. And when the outcome encounters a contradiction, this is simply added to the Body of Evidence, with all the other contradictions that in the end didn't manage to prevent conclusion.

Of course, given enough such evidence, a better outcome or set of outcomes can be produced.

But with deduction, if you hit even a single contradiction, your entire effort was wasted - the conclusion is now worthless.

This strength of induction was predicted already by Hume, who described what we now call inductive reasoning as:

• infallible in its operations
• discovers itself at the first appearance of life and thought
• independent of all the laboured deductions of the understanding

*Francis Bacon's timeless 1625 essay "Of Studies"
* insights on critical thinking, effective learning remain highly relevant
* championed idea that knowledge should be grounded in observation, experimentation & inductive reasoning
* in this short essay Bacon shares valuable tips on how to think better and learn more effectively.

#Induction #CastIron

Fixed a broken #Miele #induction #hob. This is the KMDA 7774, manufactured year 2018. A nice cooktop with integrated extraction fan and flexible cooking zones. The glass panel #touch #sensors /#buttons started to fail, with problem to set levels, to turn the hob on and ghost turn-off while cooking. After disassembly, soldered all contact surfaces of the conductive rubber buttons residing under the glass, snapped-in on the #PCB. Had to snap each button off, and they were many! SMD solder iron too small for proper heat, but a regular sized WTB tip on the Weller station at some 400 deg C worked fine, using a desoldering pump to remove superfluous solder. Each pad is a via and even if looking pristine (no fog on the PCB, no visible oxidizing) it was enough resistance to become faulty. Believe this to be #conductive sensors and that the via size and/or thickness was wrongly designed. Might even be an issue with the design recommendations of the component supplier and not Miele. #DIY #repair #electronics #solder

I had forgotten just how faster an #induction stove can be. At the rental I would put the water on, go empty the dishwasher, assemble all the things to make my french press iced “latte”, go start some early morning laundry. etc while I wait for it to boil. with induction you need to have your grounds ready immediately lol. I haven’t timed it but for an 8 oz french press I probably use 6 oz water and it takes maybe 20 seconds instead of 10 minutes…Had to break my habit, lol, took a while.

I am @melonusk, and I have more melons than you.

I am the founder of #MelonLink, #Melonsla, and #MelonX.

I believe in free melon, but free peach is a step too far.

#MelonPal has nothing to do with me anymore. I don't want to talk about it, so don't ask.

Attached is a picture of me driving my #Melonsla, with #MelonLink.

Very recently, @TechConnectify had a video up on induction woks (while wearing a T-shirt of Mr Delicious, the worst fast food mascot ever, terrifying ty)

Anyway I poked around looking for more videos on induction woks and here's a wok cooking channel talking about the induction cooker Technology Connections talked about and another one they consider better _except for_ the included wok, which is trash. But you can use any real wok, that's kinda the point.

(the wok included with the older Nuwave is actually fine, go fig):

And this is the months-later followup saying "yes the newer one is a lot better" but the old one is fine:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDMGXegEXsc

Despite being a proponent of induction cooking, one technique I couldn't claim worked well was with a wok.

So decided to try one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077GL6BJY/ (in part because not non-stick).

It's decades since I used a wok on gas (even then it seemed hit-or-miss, trying to gauge heat etc.) so I can't do a fair comparison.

But objectively this seems to be very good. I can set the right temperature, and it's very responsive. I'm actually enjoying it.
