I was hoping somone here would know.
i assume that it is only THAT efficient when used with thier overpriced perfected pans.
but a person can achieve almost 50% more efficiency by using a simple lid of any sort. so if they cheated the specs :-)
if resistive is 15-1800Watt units, and these are so durn efficient, then why arent they maxxed out at 900W instead of 1200W.
and is there another slight fudging going on too?
example 1
were supposed to think a 13W florescent is 13W, it isnt, its 17 watts, the BULB might be 13w, but the whole fixture (required) is 17w.
example 2
microwaves take 2X the ammount of energy that they say on the front of them. my 700W microwave takes 1400W of power to make 700W of waves.
and in my wattage comparison testings, a microwave is not more efficient, for cooking anything. a pan with a lid on it is faster at the same wattage.
a small toaster oven is faster at the same wattage.
and Induction has a lot of losses i thought??
BUT if indeed the heat started at the PAN, instead of the burner, that part of it would be vastly efficient, depending on burner contact. like nice flat burners, with copper based aluminum pans, that sit flat and perfect on them.
HERE the gas is cheaper because we are HIGH on the tiered pricing chart.
but if i go solar, and this is a smar thing, then this looks like a way to go?
