An Idea for Inductive Cooking

On edit: actually the one I was thinking of is resistance glass. Come on Force 10 get with the times. $2,200 and not even induction.

Interesting, looks like Force10 dropped the open coil gimballed electric option and only makes the glass top now. And I definitely agree, that's not worth buying at that price.

Since the hard part is the gimbal I am surprised some company doesn't make a gimbal box kit with required hardware. Yes you could DIY it or have something custom fabricated but still surprised there is no kit. Induction cooktop up top and convection oven down below.

Plus, if the sink doesn't need room to gimbal, you either get more space around it or can have a larger sink.

I have no desire to DIY such sinks and what's available are mostly 15cm/6" deep, not much of difference to 13cm deep domestic one. Not a fan of having spill overs either, been there wiped it.. Another way would be to use plastic washing-up bowl for dishes on the kimbaled cooktop and have only a small sink with faucet.
