We put an induction cooktop into our dirt house and really like it! I was wondering if there is an induction stove available for boats? You do need magnetic pans, but our All Clad work. Probably expensive but what isn’t on our boats? We did buy an induction hotplate and that’s nice to have. Unfortunately I agree with the other posters that the 110v stove didn’t work for us either on our boat and we went with propane. .....but that’s us, we don’t use electric unless we have to, always switching to gas. Induction has changed that, but has anyone done it on a boat?

When we were building LeeZe, we toyed with putting in an induction cooktop. The two burner model fro Miele was 3600 watts. The 4 burner from Bosch was 7400 watts. We ended up with Gas. The admiral thought the two was too little. I did not want to run the generator if we decided to go with the 4 burner model. Plus, now our eggs are not in one basket. We have gas for the stove top and BBQ, electric oven, diesel motor and furnace...

I just put a two-burner induction unit in my trawler. I wanted it to be built-in and I also wanted two burners, because I did not have room in the countertop for two separate one-burner units. I went with a "domino" style (front and back rather than side by side) unit from Indufix, which I ordered from Amazon Germany, which takes a 220v, Euro-style plug. It will work off straight 240 if that's what you have, but I also installed a step-up autotransformer so I can run it off my inverter, which is 120-only. The transformer uses some power all the time, so I turn the whole shebang off with a switch (actually a breaker) near the countertop. The domino cooktop is much smaller than the Princess range it replaced, so now we need a new countertop, but we were planning on that anyway. There is a small write-up and a photo in this section of my latest blog post: http://ourodyssey.blogspot.com/2013/06/alive-amid-chaos.html#Dishwasher A piece of scrap plywood in standing in for the countertop in that photo; we won't order new counters until we've finished everything else here in the yard. If you want to stick to 120-volt only, you are unfortunately limited to single-hob units. Most of the residential ones are tabletop models, but Sunpentown "Mr. Induction" does make one consumer model that may also be mounted into a countertop cutout. Lots of choices if you want a commercial-grade buit-in model, starting around $600 for a single hob. If you are willing to go 240-only, there are a couple of multi-hob residential units on the market reasonably priced. This is the unit we bought: http://www.amazon.de/InduFix-Domino-Induktionskochfeld/dp/B008AG1VXG I don't really speak German, but Google Translate did a great job helping me through the order process. Shipping from Germany was around $50. The transformer was another $75, so my whole installation cost me roughly $275, not bad for two burners that I can run any time on the inverter. The transformer turned out to be inferior quality and I ended up rewiring it, so maybe $100 would be a better figure for that. We've been using induction for several years now and I would not have anything else. We definitely did not want any LP on the boat -- we even pitched the gas BBQ in favor of a Weber electric model. -Sean m/y Vector on the hard in Deltaville, VA http://OurOdyssey.BlogSpot.com
