  • So, one of several reasons America didn’t really adopt induction cooktops en masse until recently has been cookware. There were like 50 years there of trendy cookware, none of which is suitable for induction stoves. Just off the top of my head, you had:

    • Pyrex, Borosilicate glass
    • Corningware, ceramic
    • Revereware, stainless steel
    • Calphalon, anodized aluminum
    • Various brands of solid copper pans
    • Various brands of teflon-coated steel
    • Weird gimmicky allegedly nonstick shit

    It’s only been within the last couple decades that most off the shelf cookware has had an iron plate bonded to the bottom to make them induction compatible regardless of their interior surfaces. This, along with the consistently low price of natural gas in the United States, has kept gas stoves relevant.



  • The banning of CFCs due to their environmental impacts, retooling the aerosol and refrigerant industries, is what it looks like when we have a functioning world society.

    There are adults now who were born after that and don’t remember a time when we could behave that way, so they have every right to be cynical.
