cocturae
Tonight my mom and I went to a class about induction stove tops and convection ovens. That sounds so boring, but it was actually SO COOL. Maybe I'm way behind on this whole thing (I certainly didn't realize for the past 5 years that my mom has a special convection oven), so sorry if I'm just blabbering on about things you already know about, but my favorite part was the induction stove tops. They're electro-magnetic, meaning that they're powered by a magnet and only magnetic metals (like iron pots) can be used to cook on them. That also means that if you put anything that's not magnetic on them, they just won't do anything. The lady who was demonstrating this put a half-circle shaped pan on one side of a burner with a stick of butter in it. On the other side of the burner, she put another stick of butter just on top, not in a pan. Of course, the lonely stick of butter just sat there while the one in the pan melted. And now I TOTALLY WANT an induction stove top! I'd feel like a scientist every time I boiled water! "Oh, you want tea? Sure, let me just hop on over to my electro-magnetic stove..." (not that people regularly come to my house and randomly demand hot beverages, but you get the idea)
And you can just buy one burner of an induction stove top. Seriously, just to to Target or wherever, buy it, bring it home, and plug it in to your wall plug. Voila! You have an induction stove!
The convection oven was cool too, I guess, but not compared to the aweomeness that is an induction stove top. Still, I need a new toaster oven anyway and I think I'll get a convection one. Wheee!
Also, after the class I went back to work. I was there until about 9:30 so I was the last one. I kept hearing things going on downstairs, and OF COURSE I'm a big wimpy fraidy cat so I was convinced that there was a robber and/or killer. While I was locking up, I saw my shadow jump out as I walked next to the fence, and I jumped out of my skin because I thought it was a person walking towards me to take my life and/or money (not that they would've been too lucky with the latter...)
