"Go Green" @ S7 Software
This is the current hot discussing at S7 Software. If you enter the office, you’ll see a transparent board right at the reception where you’ll see what my colleagues are doing to “go green”. One writes he has stopped using his car and instead bicycles to office. Another guy says he has stopped using plastic bags. There was many other writing which I don’t remember right now. Today morning I got a mail in ‘s7views’ mailing list which I found useful and would like to share with you people.

Saturday morning I was window gazing in and around Jayangar complex when I came across, for fist time, Induction stove!!
I saw a demo and was puzzled! I thought it was splendid! The stove could boil 1 liter of normal temperature water to boiling point in about 30 seconds!!! Amazingly the vessel was not even warm! Not even the stove surface! Only the water was boiling! For me it was kind of a magic!!!! so impressed by the technology, I did some research on the internet about it. It is about 80% energy efficient than our Gas stoves! Induction stove works on the concepts of electromagnetic induction & eddy currents.

Though there is one big con of inductive heating is that the crockery/cooking vessel should be ferrous (means magnetic). Many of your house hold vessels might not be ‘Induction Ready’. But this one reason alone is not enough compared to the pro energy efficiency and pro environment friendly quality and cost benefits of Induction Stove over Gas Stove. You could easily buy few such ‘Induction Ready’ vessels which sell cheaper than much expensive Teflon or copper vessels. Just carry a magnet to crockery shop, to whichever vessel magnet sticks is ‘Induction Ready’ vessel.
In a shop in Jaynagar 4th block (Bangalore), next to the complex, Induction Stove sells at about 2,000 - 3,200 Rs.
I am planning to buy one soon J
