-Resistance and induction cooking both use 1000-2000w watts of power to run each "burner" although [[http://amzn.to/2owQKr9|the induction unit]] will be ~12% more efficient.((https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking#Efficiency))  Note that plain hotplates run fine on Modified Sine Wave [[electrical:inverter|inverters]] but induction versions require pure sine wave.+==== resistance vs induction comparision ====

-Lab hotplates are similar to cooking hotplates only generally smaller using much less wattage.  They may not work for full-on cooking but might suffice for reheating/simmering.  See [[https://mouse.mousetrap.net/blog/2021/05/05/first-run-with-the-lab-hotplate/|this blog post]] by secessus.
