Cast iron, enameled cast iron, and many types of stainless-steel cookware are compatible with induction cooking. To check, “test your pans by putting a magnet on the bottom” to see if it sticks, advises Chef Lorenzo.

While portable induction cooktops can work with a standard 120-volt outlet, most induction ranges and stoves need a dedicated 220- or 240-volt circuit and 40 to 50 amps to operate. If you’re replacing an electric range with an induction stove, your bases are most likely covered. Whereas kitchens that previously had a gas stove may need to install a 220 or 240-volt outlet.

It's just another on the longggg list of flaw's in my Character Patch ,, wouldn't it be interesting if the mechanic at bike shop the OP went to had never swapped out a set of wheel bearings on a scoot, googled the process for accomplishing the task and ended up following my off beat suggestion, miraculously was successful in swapping in new bearings and charged the guy 200 bucks for labor LOL... CRAZY world we live in brother LOL

From family mealtimes to holiday traditions, the kitchen is the heart of the home for many. What if you could cut your time cooking and cleaning in half to enjoy more of these moments – all while creating a healthier and safer home? That’s the power of induction cooking.

While induction can rapidly crank up the heat, this responsiveness works in the other direction, too, when lowering the temperature. The precise temperature control and even heat distribution afforded by this direct heating method make it easy to maintain a simmer without burning food or having to monitor a flickering flame.

Remove the front wheel. Lay an old couch cushion on a good solid work bench and lay the wheel on its side on top of it. Take a long punch with a good flat surface ground on its face so the edges of the surface are ground so flat that it is sharp along the perimeter of the edges. Use a punch that will lay at a slight angle (loosely fitting inside the bearing ID's). Slide the punch thru the bearing ID that is facing upward and is on top of the wheel (hub facing upward) and put pressure against the long shim/tube that lies between the bearings (that shim tube is there to capture the bearing inner races as you tighten the axle nut against the fork and will have a slight amount of movement to it sideways as you press against it with the punch). When the punch face meets the inside edge of the bearing race laying at the bottom hub (the one facing downward) you will feel it snag. Once it snags, continue holding the punch at an angle and pressing downward to hold it against the bearing race face and smack it with a beater (old gearhead term for a +2 pound hammer). As the bearing moves outwardly in its hub journal the punch will begin to hold on the edge easier. When this happens move the punch around the edge of the inner race and hit er again. As the bearing moves out of its journal be careful that you are not moving the punch edge outwardly toward the journal = you want to keep the punch edge/face hitting on the ID race of the bearing you are driving out. She'll pop right out. Once that bottom bearing comes free and is laying on the cushion the shim/tube between the two bearings will fall out. Flip the wheel over and knock the other bearing out with the punch by beating on the bearings ID race outwardly.

With induction, the cookware itself is the source of heat, rather than a flame or electric coils, translating to greater efficiency and less energy use. Among the competition, induction cooktops are up to 15% more efficient than standard electric and boast nearly three times the efficiency of gas stoves[4].

This guide will cover the ins and outs of induction cooking, from how the technology works to its benefits and what to consider when comparing induction cooktops. Chef Lorenzo Beronilla, winner of “Top Chef Amateur”, also weighs in on the advantages of induction and why it makes a better cooking experience.

I would have said " Knock the old bearings out with a drift and beat the new bearings in with a socket with the correct OD".

You Puc are a patient fellow who goes way out of his way to explain your experiences; not only do you do so regularly but you do so with humor, so, just keep on your roll Puc it works for us.

Switching from equipment powered by fossil fuels to efficient, emission-free technologies like induction cooktops, cold-climate heat pumps , and heat pump water heaters is essential to cutting emissions and meeting New York State’s climate goals.

Take one of the two old bearings and grind the OD race surface down so the bearing will fit loosley back into the hubs, now grind the surface of the inner race, where the shim/tube would meet it, down so it cannot contact the surface of the new bearing(s) when you use the old bearing as a driver . Clean up the hub journals with carb cleaner, if there is any visible high spots (DO NOT HIT THOSE JOURNALS WITH YOUR PUNCH but if you accidently do, be sure and clean em up with a little sand paper/emery cloth) clean it up. Take a new bearing and with the wheel back on the cushion, place a new bearing into its mounting journal and press it in a little with your finger. Bump the outer race on its edges with a light hammer to get it started and continuing hitting in a circular way to drive the bearing squarely into the journal of the hub so it starts squarely and is not going sideways. It will go in somewhat hard but if you listen while your tapping you can actually tell by sound that it is moving as you rap on it. Once you get the bearing driven down to the edge of the hub where you are in danger of hitting the hub with the hammer, take the old bearing and place it on top of the new bearing and use the old bearing as a driver to knock the new bearing to the bottom (you can also use the old bearing as a driver before getting near the hub if you are concerned hitting a new bearing surface - either way though MAKE SURE YOU ARE FACING THE INNER RACE THAT HAS HAD MATERIAL REMOVED ON IT TOWARD THE NEW BEARING SO YOU ARE NOT BANGING ON THE ID RACE OF THE NEW BEARING = THIS IS IMPORTANT) of its journal = keep driving it until the new bearing bottoms out in the hub and has that distinct "thud" when you hit it. The bearings/hubs are designed to be mated both on the circumference of the outer race of the bearing AND along the face of the bearings outer race. Flip the wheel over = DROP THE SHIM/TUBE BACK IN!!! = now drive in the new bearing on the other side just like you did the first one.. Other then reinstalling the front wheel,, that should get ya back out CTFW!

The initiative, which launched on November 3, 2023, will include a pilot phase, where selected manufacturers will install their induction stove models in 100 NYCHA apartments to assess their performance. Following the pilot phase, this technology would be made accessible for virtually every home. NYCHA plans to install at least 10,000 induction stoves across its apartments to lower energy costs, reduce emissions, and improve indoor air quality.

If you’re ready to switch to induction cooking, there are some important considerations to keep in mind when browsing options. For starters, induction comes in several forms: portable cooktop units that plug into a standard wall outlet, hardwired cooktop models, and ranges with both a cooktop and electric convection oven.

Preparing your go-to meals on a new induction cooktop can take some experimentation with the power settings to find the optimal temperature, so it’s worth being extra attentive as you get acclimated.

The flat, glass-ceramic surface of an induction cooktop is a breeze to clean, especially when compared to the cumbersome task of removing and wiping down grates on a gas stove.

I would have said " Knock the old bearings out with a drift and beat the new bearings in with a socket with the correct OD".

The fact that induction can’t start – or continue operating – when cookware is removed is effectively a built-in safety feature that prevents a cooktop from being turned or left on accidentally.

As for how I would punch and set, punch was covered and for set for someone that never done it or rarely, block of wood till flush then torque the rest in on wheel installation; or a threaded rod 2 nuts 2 washers, but I do have a press so...

The potential energy savings from induction cooking extends beyond the equipment itself. Since induction cooktops don’t emit pollutants or heat up the kitchen, less energy is used running ventilation and cooling systems.

Unless there’s a major spill, wiping down the cooktop with a damp cloth between uses is sufficient to keep it in pristine condition. For a deeper clean, using vinegar or an induction-specific cleaner and rinsing with a towel afterward is recommended to prevent damage to the surface and remove residue.

Like traditional electric or gas stoves, induction stoves typically have designated spots, called cooking zones, to place pots or pans. A key difference with induction is that these cooking zones won’t heat up unless induction-compatible cookware is on the surface acting as the conduit for creating heat.

Watch Chef Lorenzo prepare a delicious meal on an induction cooktop and field questions from the public at the Troy Farmers Market.

Now here's a curve ball for you Puc; As I watched how difficult it was for this kid to brave forth a question, I could not help wonder what ill tempered S.O.B/Bastard broke him.

Tell you a quick one; yesterday morning I offered help to a neighbor which usually revolves around passing over the fence some carpenter tools. I get a kick out of both him and his wife as they are retired now, yet always looking for something to fix around the house, he swings and she backs him up, never more than 10' between them! Now I could say that's not the way to do whatever but I get that he is her hero she admires his way, his effort and I smile deep down and just keep passing another tool over:)

Through the Induction Stove Challenge, New York State, and the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) are working with appliance manufacturers to develop a 120-volt, 20-amp induction stove with a battery back-up that would be compatible with virtually any home and avoid the need for electrical upgrades.

What???? You guys don't throw your berrings in the freezer first? If you have access to some liquid nitrogen it makes the prosess even quicker. Get em cold enough and they will drop right in.

“With induction, it’s an open your refrigerator and throw everything in together kind of thing,” says Chef Lorenzo Beronilla during an induction cooktop demonstration at the Troy Farmers Market. According to Chef Lorenzo, there’s no need to wait for onions to get translucent before adding the remaining ingredients for his pork and potato egg rolls, since the precise temperature control prevents food from charring.

Once cookware meets the cooktop surface, induction makes quick work of raising the heat. An induction cooktop can bring a pot of water to boil in 2-3 minutes, or roughly 20-40% faster than gas and conventional electric cooktops[3].

The use of fossil fuel equipment in buildings represents one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions in New York. On the national level, gas cooking produces over 25 million tons of carbon pollution each year[5].

The Inflation Reduction Act can help reduce the costs of installing an induction cooktop. Upgrading an electric panel is eligible for a $600 IRA tax credit, while upfront rebates of up to $840 are expected in 2024 via the Efficiency Electric Home Rebate program .

While any induction cooktop will offer efficiency, speed, and safety, there are a suite of features and design considerations to keep in mind when evaluating options for your kitchen.

Because induction only heats the cookware, the rest of the surface keeps relatively cool, significantly reducing the chance of getting burned by touching the cooktop. This, plus the absence of an open flame, means that leaving items like a spatula or dish towel on the cooktop won’t damage them or risk a fire.

“With induction cooking, only the vessel [or cookware] that you’re cooking with gets hot,” notes Chef Lorenzo. This means that any spill or splatter on the cooktop, excluding the immediate area of a cooking zone that’s in use, is safe to wipe up right away, helping avoid a charred mess that’s a pain to clean.

Also yesterday SK had asked me to do some repairs to his SUV so I was working on it when a young fellow I had seen once before in our lane, hangs with the kid next door say 18ish... first he approached me asking to listen to his engine, timing chain guides I said.. Second time he asked if he could borrow my floor jack parked inside but close to the open door (so in plane sight) and I said I just had my small one stolen so that big one might be too big for your car... Let me shed some of what I picked up from this kid, no confidence, approaches older men with eyes low, then says its ok I'm sorry to bother you... The third time he ask his friend to ask me a question, the question made no sense so I said wait till my hands are free and I'll take a look. So I did, but now more of his friends showed up all hovering around with clean hands and knees; I'll tell you somethin else, he was the only one there that didn't have a PHD at home, in fact his old sport Nissan had more patches on her than I do holding me together - where as the other rides had fancy paint, mags.... So I knelt down by him as he began panicking out his problem. Here is what he was attempting to do, install the connecting/tie rod from the strut to the torsion bar. This tie rod has a small ball joint at either end and when he would attempt to turn the nut down the stem would rotate! (: I held the rod in my hands and said take a good look at this and tell me what you see? He went on to explain that he thought the problem wash the "white ring" in the nut and "am I suppose to remove it" ok I said take another look and I pointed to the head and asked, what would hold this end while you tighten the nut? He grabbed a socket up off the floor and said "one of these" Not wanting to embarrass the kid I gave him the answer and the size and guess what that wasn't enough, I had to pick one up off the floor to show him what a key/wrench/spanner looked like!

Induction works by “inducing” an electromagnetic current that’s created by a metal coil inside the cooktop and transferred directly to metal pots and pans on its surface. This process creates heat within the cookware itself, and as it heats up, it cooks or boils whatever food or liquid it contains. The glass-ceramic surface underneath the cookware isn’t directly heated through the induction process, improving efficiency and kitchen safety.

Though just 3% of homes in the U.S. have induction cooktops, nearly 70% of respondents are considering induction for their next stove, according to the 2022 Consumer Reports American Experience Survey[1]. The rise of induction may be new in the U.S., but the emission-free technology, which was introduced at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1933, is used in over 35% of European homes[2].

No matter your cooking habits, there’s a lot to love about induction ranges. Here’s a look at the key benefits of induction cooking compared to conventional electric and gas stoves.

The OP will probably just shake his head, skip what I wrote and go directly to your advice but that's ok,, my fingers and I still had a pretty good time writing that disertation :big-grin-emoticon::rasberry:

** all this is for replacing SEALED bearings = not wheel bearings like a car would have (Timpkens) = those are a whole different animal with a whole different method of removal and install..

Research shows that gas stoves leak harmful pollutants , including carbon monoxide and benzene, even when they are turned off. Whereas induction cooktops, combined with ventilation, help preserve your home’s indoor air quality.
