Our new shiny induction oven!- It’s a bright day at the aadheenam
- Inside the kitchen this afternoon we find some activity
- Mani in happy to see the new oven in place
- It’s not fully installed yet, since there’s some electrical work to finish
- Yoginathaswami and Mayilnathaswami discuss options for adding some more space around it
- New induction oven and our new griddle.
Jai Ganesha!
With great fanfare, our new induction oven and electric griddle have arrived at the Aadheenam’s kitchen! As mentioned yesterday, the old gas stove had served us well over the years, but its numerous issues made it an ideal candidate for replacement. Our Chef Mani will particularly enjoy the new electric griddle, which will take center stage for dosa-making.
Today, our monks simply did a test fit of the units in the space, since there is further electrical work to wrap up before fully installing them. Induction ovens and cooktops use electromagnetic fields to directly heat the cookware, rather than heating the stove surface. This makes them highly desired for their lightning-fast boiling times, precise temperature control, improved kitchen air quality, safety, and unmatched ease of cleaning compared to gas ones.
