here's something I'd not have thought of-- putting a battery pack in the cooktop, so now it can deliver 10kW to a burner

@regehr Huh! I've been a happy Control Freak user for a few years, but it has its downsides. I'm curious about this.
@regehr big numbah, but I don't see the use with fixed induction places -- I have 3.6k max and the only thing it is not too much for already is boiling water.
@regehr These guys are doing a similar thing. The problem with both of these is they are priced like pianos, not stoves. https://copperhome.com/products/charlie
@jwb expensive, but not necessarily out of line. induction cooktops seem to usually be in the $2000-$3000 range, so $6000-$7000 isn't necessarily terrible, if it's a product that will last. of course, I would be worried that the batteries will not last.
@regehr@mastodon.social @jwb at that price it’s way cheaper to get an electrician to pull a cable. In any case you really don’t use more than 2kW per burner for Western cooking (ie a pot/pan) unless you’re doing the boiling water party trick.
