Induction cooker
I recently purchased a single burner Fagor induction hotplate at CW and it is the best purchase I have made for my Cougar, it was about $100.
Upsides:
It has a tremendous range of hest. From a slow simmer to more heat than the big gas burner on the stove.
It creates no heat of it's own, the surface itself does not get hot so it heats up the trailer a lot less on a hot day than.using the stove.
It is easily portable so I can use it outside on a table near a 120v outlet. That way there is no cooking odor in the trailer when I am sautéing fish. (the Cougar has a pretty good exhaust fan but it is nowhere as powerful as the suck the eggs out of the pan model I have at home)
It reacts faster than gas. When you turn it off/down it reacts NOW.
Downsides
You have to use magnetic pans. This means any pan a magnet will stick to. That includes all cast iron pans and many clad pans. Take a magnet to the store or look for "Induction" on the bottom. I have an induction range at home and I love it.
The device weighs about 3pounds and is roughly 12 inches square.
