Socializing an Induction Cooktop

Probably the last appliance to go in our house will be our gas stove. My wife is an amazing cook and LOVES her gas stove. We've got a fantastic 6 burner Viking and her (reasonable) perception of electric stoves are the old crappy coils from the 80s that we grew up with. It also works fine, so we're not super motivated to get rid of it, at least not this year.

But I do want to start socializing the idea of an induction cooktop... see what we like and don't like, what cookware we have and what we need, how much of "now you're cooking with gas" is actually better vs marketing campaigns, etc.

So to try it all out, we bought a portable, single burner, induction cooktop on Amazon for just $75. It plugs in and we can start trying it out next to our regular stove as part of the transition. 

It arrived yesterday so I'll post my experience in the coming days.

Update: aaaand none of our existing pots work. Sigh. Off to a rocky start convincing her this is the bright and shiny future we get to look forward to...
