I wouldn’t take an induction cooktop for dinner either. But a portable induction cooker (or hob) is a different matter – it’s small and light and fits in the shopping carry bag that I bought in London in 1993.

Yes, there is a story. Matthew asked me to bring it along as the extra hob would be a help for cooking such a big lunch for about 13 adults by my count. Of course a lot of the food was cooked the day before, or brought by family, and the lamb was cooked on a spit.

However, there is even more of a story, concerning the use that my induction cooker was put to on Christmas Day. The story is about utensils that can be used on an induction cooker, and the benefits (and economies) of using a pressure cooker or two. I plan to make that a future post.

No, Colin, I’m not planning to become a pro chainsaw operator. I won’t have time as I’m thinking of putting my name down next year for Australia’s Got Talent and MasterChef. I’d think about Idol and So You Think You Can Dance, but they currently have age limits.

So are you planning on becoming a professional chainsaw operator, John?

Well I never heard of someone taking their induction cooktop to dinner. Is there a story to tell here?

Hi Daron,

Thanks for confirming the spelling of your name. I’m glad I asked, as I like to spell everything correctly, and especially names.

Following your comment, I’ve revised my post by adding new comments, and you’ve been a help in this.

Regards
John
