Dozens of public housing apartments will get plug-in induction ranges as part of the initiative, which aims to eventually shift 10,000 NYCHA homes off the use of polluting fossil fuel appliances.
Wanna make a bet that I can boil some water and safely touch (for a short time) the stove top right after? I’m willing to bet a lot of money. 'cause I’ve done it. And because of physics.
The pot is 100 °C (because of physics), which is heating the glass. Glass is not as conductive as metal, so it’s not as dangerous to touch. Touching a pot of boiling water is not pleasant, but not very dangerous if you immediately remove your hand, and touching the stove is even less dangerous than that. Completely different ball game to vitroceramic resistive heating which heats the stove itself well above boiling temperatures.
Big lol. Compares boiling water to frying. The author of the article was generally speaking. And by generally they were saying the surface does not get very hot. Yes. It does not get 800°C. But it still can and will get to 300°C. Is it less? Yes. Is it still fucking hot and causing severe burns? YES.
Stop saying it is safe, because that causes people to believe this and get harmed for no fucking reason.
