You can buy a single-plate induction cooker for $50 that plugs into the wall and has a temperature configurable from 60-200 C. Edit: Stopped markdown converting Centigrate to Copyright symbol PS: Also, electricity is cheaper than gas in Australia, because we have so much rooftop solar, electricity is soon going to be free during the midday peak. permalink fedilink source parent
