Ach! I thought I was going to be emailed when this thread got responses but apparently I was wrong. To answer people's questions, I looked in to adding kettle elements but I don't have a hole saw, already bought the other electric kettle (which was cheap enough, fortunately), and wasn't crazy about the idea of using a homemade electric kettle without an RCD.

Sorry about failing to list a price, I was thinking €70?

What electric did you go with BB?? Looking at going electric myself, was thinking peco or brupack 29litre

Mark,
Just wondering how you know this pot is suitable for induction. When I was looking for an induction pot a while back I was asking brew pot suppliers if their pots were induction friendly and nobody could say theirs was. In the end I bought the biggest induction pot I could find which was 23L

I ended up with a cheap food-safe bucket with a kettle element in it; nothing fancy but it works. As mentioned I didn't have the tools to drill in to this kettle. Admittedly I do miss using the nice ball valve on this one. I actually don't know how to tell whether this will work with induction, but it does have a nice thick base which appears to help, if I'm reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking#Cookware correctly.

I think if a magnet sticks to it, then it will work with induction hob.

I'll be next in line if it falls through, live in town and can take it home on the bike one handed.

I have one. I use it on a 3kW induction hob (this one http://www.nisbets.ie/Buffalo-Induction-Hob-3000W/CE208/ProductDetail.raction which is on sale at the moment). I've used it now for over 12 months and very happy with it.

And as mcgrath said...if a magnet sticks to it you should be induction ready.

[imark]

Don't know what the deal is with that. But if a magnet sticks it will definitely work. Maybe the amount of ferrous metal in yours is low. So while it's working it might not be as efficient. It only acts on ferrous metal.

Yeah I use an IKEA induction hob but you can't assume all stainless steel pots are suitable.
I tried asking a couple of suppliers were theirs induction ready suggesting the magnet test if they didn't know and all just came saying they weren't suitable for induction

[delzep]

Stainless steel is (usually) non magnetic

[imark]

As far as I know they sandwich the ferrous core between ss in the base.

[delzep]

Mmmm..... Sandwich

Just wanted to say Jackflash was a pleasure to trade with! Does the forum have any sort of feedback indicator for this kind of thing? This is my first time buying or selling anything here.

Cheers Rob. Likewise, an out and out gent! Looking forward to my first batch from her!
