Some food preparation can’t be done fully in the microwave, this has helped me minimize radiating heat into the apartment during hot days lately.

    Yeah an electric kettle was way faster then boiling water in a gas stove top for us and didn’t heat the house up. We recently switched to an electric oven with an induction stove top and it’s so much faster and doesn’t put off waste heat in comparison to gas.

      I’ve heard good things! Unfortunately I’m in a rental so I’m stuck with an electric coil stove:( We sorely need incentives for landlords to install more energy efficient appliances even where they don’t pay electricity.

            I bought one if these many years ago and loved it. A couple years ago I got an induction range but I still have my probably unit and still use it on occasion. They really are great.

        It is an adjustment on cooking and relearning what setting to set for how you want your food, but near instant boil is nice. Yeah that is a big problem with renting, landlords have no incentive to pay a bit more for efficient appliances since they don’t pay the electrical costs.
