2018 just might be its big year! Have you decided on which cooktop yet? Let us know! :) I don't miss gas at all! And I have a feeling you're ahead of the curve-induction is finally starting to really catch on here in the US.

It isn't without its drawbacks (more expensive, harder to find people who know how to repair it), but I love love love my induction cooktop. I also commend you on choosing induction! It's better than gas in pretty much every way: more responsive, easier to clean, and safer. We don't always have control over these things, but since you're doing a remodel (fun!!), I thought I'd mention it. You may be able to overcome this by getting a more powerful hood, but you'd have to ask an expert about that.


If it doesn't, you're always going to have poor venting performance, esp. The hood has to extend around the cooktop (on 3 sides, anyway, assuming a wall-mounted hood) by at least 3 inches for optimal performance. For example, most 30-inch ranges have a 30-inch hood, but this is not optimal. I commend you for asking about venting-I think a lot of people get this wrong through simple misunderstanding (or lack of good expert advice). And here is an article specifically titled 'Range Hoods and Induction Cooking' that may be helpful. If you google 'how many CFMs do I need for my range hood?' you'll get a whole bunch of websites to choose from. (I recently had this experience with a dishwasher, but I had to go to a specialty appliance store to get it-you know, Miele, Thermador, Viking, Bosch, etc.) There are also good websites about both induction and range hoods. (If they don't ask you these questions, find someone who does.) I agree with Ted that you can find knowledgeable sales people who can help you. The experts will take all of this into consideration to help you decide the best hood for your situation. E.g., is it a straight shot to the outside, or will your venting need to take a few twists and turns? If it needs to take some turns, you'll need a more powerful hood. Usually, how powerful a fan you need is decided not so much by the type of cooktop you have but by how much power is needed to do a proper job exhausting cooking odors. You may be able to get by with a slightly lesser vent than for gas because induction (like conventional electric) doesn't produce as many toxic by-products as gas (it does so in very, very minute amounts!), but you will still need ventilation. But like cooking with any other method, induction cooking still creates cooking odors, smoke, etc., so if you don't want that going into your house, you need a vent. In fact I know there is because I've seen some manufacturer websites imply that this is the case. If your game looks blurry or stretched and distorted, check its display settings and make sure you set it to the right resolution for your screen.I think there's a misconception about induction cooking that ventilation isn't needed. It’s common for video games to default to a resolution that’s different from what your monitor requires to look sharp. Some full-screen apps and video games can control and take over your system’s resolution.


For example, if your display has both an HDMI and DisplayPort input, then switching to DisplayPort will give you access to higher resolutions and refresh rates in most cases.Ĭonfused? Check out DVI vs HDMI vs DisplayPort – What You Need to Know. In some cases, you can fix this by switching connectors. In short, check that both your GPU and cable support the resolution you want.
