    I have both. Use em at the cabin on the porch when I don't want the entire place to smell like searing meat. I prefer the isobutane for outdoor cast iron cooking but the instant adjustability of the induction is mighty nice.

    I’ve a butane only version and it just doesn’t put out the btus to be worth it.

    A turkey fryer on the deck is a good solution. Enough BTUs to stir fry too.

    Fun fact Julia Child learned to cook at the Cordon Bleu not in the OSS. I thought most people knew this.

    I havent tried cooking duck or duck breasts but this is how he does the chicken thighs,

    breast wouldn't sit flat on the pan so not sure how that would work ?

    I like the thighs which are usually cheaper & don't dry out like white breast meat, I make this ^^ at least once a week cuz its just so easy

    TBH it'll work just as well on the counter. Bit messier, but I don't mind the smell of pan-fried meatses permeating my house.

    Hmmm... somehow I missed this thread.....

    I bought my 10" skillet from a blue haired old lady at a yard sale 18 years ago or so, I use it every day for my standard breakfast of potato egg with cheese (during ski season I wrap it up in a tortilla for the drive to the mountain). After swishing out the oil and salt from the previous day, I let it heat for 15-20 minutes while the potatoes steam soft, this works to re-season it daily.

    Back in my hippie vagabond days, I lived for a while in the high desert in Arizona, without electricity or running water. Every morning we'd take a handful of green roasted coffee beans from Dunkin' Donuts, and roast them in a cast iron skillet. When they were good and black, we'd grind them in the skillet with the head of a splitting maul, and then make coffee. Damn that was good coffee!

    Both. For proper application of steak to glass, you want to sear, then boil, then sear again.

    And then move it quickly from glass cooktop to glass plate for the finest dining experience.

    Braised. We call it braised, not boiled. (My mother made a very tasty braised brisket although these days I prefer it smoked.)

    After years with an induction stove top we are finally making the move to gas. No NG here, but we have always had a propane tank that the PO installed for the grill and the fireplace. $700 for the propane guys to run a new line through the attic and down to the stove. $1500 cooktop. Seems like a good deal.
    Here is what I got. Mostly because it is what I wanted, but also because it is the only one I could find in stock anywhere.

    We had been planning this, but I dropped a hot pot in just the right spot the other day, and cracked a chunk out of the front of the induction stovetop, accelerating the process. Bummer too, it is a Thermador, not a cheap unit. I researched the replacement glass and it is $840. I am thinking of maybe offering it up for free to see if someone wants to repair it. I have no idea what the used market for induction cooktops is. Worst case, I will donate it to the habitat for humanity RE Store down the road. Those guys can take anything and sell it.

    I haven't watched his videos for a while but in older ones he would use hard anodized aluminum, not teflon coated.

    Too funny. I did my first braised roasted chicken last night. On a bed of onions with stock added and I basted. Super tender and juicy, but I get better flavor and crispy skin standing it up, (like beer butt, but usually and empty can)
