[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently had to move away from my beloved induction.  New house has gas.  I am a total induction proselytizer - it is amazing.  But if you cook a lot, do try to get one with 6 burners or one of the new ones where the whole thing is one burner that just activates wherever you put a pot.  My one complaint about my 4-burner induction was that it was hard to use multiple pots at once.  [/quote]
Why was that, PP? Could you explain more? [/quote]

Sure!  I had an older Thermador induction range that was wonderful and I generally loved.  But space was hard - it had four burners - one small in the bottom corner, a large over and to the right of the small burner, and then two medium in the two opposite corners.  The whole range was maybe 24"?  If I wanted to make a meal using three pots (let's say rice + main chicken dish + vegetable), I could not because I could not physically fit more than one pot/pan per side of the range at a time and have the pots/pans align well with the magnet.  Same thing if I wanted to use a griddle type pan to make something like pancakes - there was no way to engage two burners at the same time in a way that fit a griddle pan and allowed good contact.  Also nearly impossible to use a larger pot and pan at the same time (say, pot for boiling pasta + pan for making sauce).  That is why I would go for a bigger, six-burner range.  Or - even better - one that is all magnetic and engages wherever you put a pan, like a blank slate.[/quote]

What brand is that where the whole top can be a burner?[/quote]

I have a new Bosch and you can combine the whole left side but not the entire top. It is somewhat of a guessing game which burner to use since the results are inconsistent. [/quote]
