[Closed] Coffee related first world problem

kormoran · 2021-11-11T17:09:54Z

Ok so we now have a glorious induction hob cooker - so far so good. Head chef has realised that our espresso is too small for the smallest ring on the hob so we need to get one of those metal plates that goes between hob and espresso to make it all work tickety boo. Anyway, I had located a suitable device made by bialetti and all looked good however I have subsequently read a number of reviews that say the plate gets very hot and has damaged the hob in some instances. This seems to be the case for other brands too. So what do other people do? They basically all look like a variation on the same theme. I had considered just running my small pocket rocket with the espresso on it next to the cooker but head chef does not approve.

the bit of the ring not in contact will stay cold

The ring doesn't get hot to heat the item above. That's not how induction works. Any heat in the ring is waste or heat that has transferred from the cookware into the hob surface.
