I had a ge one loved it when it worked. The board died twice in 6 months.

The Bosch one probably would have worked fine but for whatever reason it wasn't the look the spouse wanted.

Even though I was fully onboard I could see the specific pan thing annoying some dedicated gas people.

I’m back to gas and no longer have people boiling water so I can boil water.

Yeah, we are living through that horror as well, turns out roughly half of the people we know that have an induction stove ended up having either multiple replacements or live with the peculiarities of their unit. It’s not cheap stuff as well, one couple have a high end Miele one that goes completely haywire if anything drops on its surface and that is after getting one replacement and one “upgrade”…
I used an induction stove and it turned me into a Newt. But I got better.
Sorry to hear that. Any advice for other readers that find themselves in that predicament?
I recommend repeated viewing of Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail. And avoiding llamas.
