Amusing induction story

The realtor told me that the buyer's home inspector reported that the cooktop "did not work" since "none of the burners would heat up."

"Correct," I replied, "and there's no place to put the coal, either."

LOL I'll have to remember to leave a note on our induction cooktop with a pot filled with water, whenever we sell our home and the inspector arrives.

Ha! Would not have thought about that "issue", thanks!

I felt like a magician when I tested all the hobs at delivery. "Just turn them on, you'll see them glow nice and red when they're hot". Nope! I couldn't get them to understand, but they did reluctantly put their hand right next to the whistling tea kettle and were in awe.

Too funny! I hope I never meet that house inspector....
Or maybe I could get a better deal on the next house - the cooktop is not working!!
