Tried a smaller pot today and the temp was reading 200, completely still surface
Comment on Is it normal for a simmer to not produce any bubbles?
BCsven@lemmy.ca 6 days agoI found with induction on low it would sit for some length of time then for a few seconds boil, then sit. Repeat. Didn’t seem to be a low power, it just made the period between energizing longer. Newer induction stoves are supposed to be better though. Have you tried a different sized pot to see if the change in thermal mass helps

It would be a good test to boil plain water and see if your thermometer reads 212°F

Just measured a rolling boil 212.9 so the thermometer ain’t lying I guess

So should be good then, technically a boil from water to steam is at that exact temperature , so less than that shouldnt be boiling. Maybe inductions have gotten that good where it doesn’t raise into the boil and drop back out?

It’s an ikea stove that came with the place so I’m not expecting the best quality or accuracy I guess. The broth is done and it’s late so I’ll have to give my smaller pot a try tomorrow. I should probably look into a better single burner induction plate that adjusts by the exact temperature in the future though.
