No difference to me. I have the electric one at the office and thinking of going to this at home. So much safer and if you forget about it it shuts off. If you want to reheat, just turn it back on

I do not know any thing about the Alpha Electric portable stove, but I am very happy with Music City Mtetal stove. 280 KK is very light in weight, low to the ground and large burner area. There are inner ring and outer ring fire. For larger pot you can lite both rings and inner ring only for smaller pot. Since early nineties till now, I must have bought over 100 stoves for friends and families. ( I am not dealer). Every year or two some one approach me for information about where to buy the stove, and help them buy the Music City 280KK burner. Our community entertain at home and we use this burner to cook food in garage or for picnics. Mohan D.

I am a vegan and cook in this wok constantly. Love it. Always watch what you are cooking so it doesn't burn. You don't want to use high heat. Use middle heat on a gas burner. I don't have electric so I don't know how that would work. Hopes this helps you make your decision. Great wok

I love it. I use this one for vegetables and pasta. I have another one for grilling, they are shaped differently, but appear to be the same. Grilled chicken is great, it browns best with a little olive oil and paprika on it. Haven't tried anything else. And have no idea about the wattage.

I have had the Braun Tassimo for a few years now and I am a big fan. I love the latte, cappucino, hot chocolate and most recent addition of Chai Tea Latte. The machine is huge hit at dinner parties when it comes time to serve drink w/dessert. I'm definitely going to consider upgrading to the Bosch version when my birthday comes around again this Fall. LOVE MY TASSIMO.I also have a Keurig at work and am NOT impressed. The coffee is very weak, there are no alternative beverages available other than tea, and you have to manually set the temperature. I prefer the bar code system where the machine knows the best temp to use and exactly how much water. IMO, the Tassimo wins hands-down!

So, the LCS3 (which is currently priced at 22 and some change) is only a 10 inch diameter and has sloped sides measuring only at 1 3/4 in (might be 1 1/4 in I'm going off memory). The LK8S3 is 10.25 diameter and the sides are not sloped they are straight and measure 2 inches high. I just used the LK8S3 this morning for a fritata with eggs, red bell peppers, baby bellas, chopped kale, and sharp cheddar on top. I have a five person family and it is big enough to produce a yummy fritata that will feed us all. I start the meal on the stove top and finish in the oven. I like the high/straight sides of this dish because you could even bake a cake in it or a pot pie etc. I have a pan comparable to the LCS3 but it is smaller in diameter (I think an 8 or 9 in). Pans with a sloped side are great for sauting and performing cooking tasks that require moving the pan around to flip the food about. The LK8S3 is quite heavy so I could only assume the LCS3 "chef's" series skillet might be more pricey because it might be lighter weight for performing tasks that require flicking of the wrists and flipping without compromising the length of the diameter and the quality of the cast iron. Don't quote me on that, the last part is only an assumption. If you want an exact explanation I'm sure someone at Lodge would be happy to assist you. They probably have a contact link on their website. Hopefully I helped, I tried my best. Have a lovely day!

Nancy, I did not get your question, but I have had this oven for over 3 years. I love it! It is the best oven I have ever had. The only thing I have found is when I clean it, the highest cleaning level is too much. I have to use the medium level of cleaning. Other than that this is the perfect oven. When I get a new stove, I will buy electrolux. I hope this helped you. Any other questions, please ask.

Hello learner. I own 4 of the large 4 plates size, and they are excellent in my opinion. I've had them for several years to help with my Thanksgiving dinners of about 40 family members. They are 1000 watts. The mashed potatoes were steaming this year on it. I have placed trays of lasagna on them that have sizzled on top. You can control that of course by not keeping it plugged in. I would say they stay very hot unplugged between 30-45 minutes or so. They definitely work. They look nice and are so easy to clean. I always get positive comments about them at my dinners. I highly recommend! Hello learner. I own 4 of the large 4 plates size, and they are excellent in my opinion.

I have a 4 year old 2-cup Bialetti and it's lower chamber does not attract a magnet. My less-than-one-year-old 3-cup Bialetti does attract a magnet therefore the newer one would work on an induction stove. Both make great coffee!

Did you ever receive an answer to your question about using an aebleskiver on a glass top electric stove? I have the same question. Thanks!

I have the 4 square cookware by HealthSmart. Purchased one piece from a salesman. Spent the next day experimenting cooking lots of stuff with that one pan. Next night called salesman and ordered more. Absolutely worth the money!

I replaced my Nutribullet with the Ninja....and I'm glad I did. It's very powerful, liquefies in seconds. The nutri billet would often leave me with chunks of unprocessed bits of carrot and ice. Very happy with the ninja. And for the price....I believe it's a way better value. Hope this helps :)

Not in my world, I have the Cuisinart round and oval enamel over cast iron dutch ovens and they are fantastic. I got them from Woot, Amazons closeout sibling lol. They only cost about $50 when they have them on Woot. If you are not famaliar with Woot, just go to Woot.com Woot also has apps for your phone. If you have patience this is the way to go, in the two years I have been a Woot member they have had the Cuisinart dutch ovens twice that I know of, once when I bought mine, and again not too long ago. HTH.

I had a one-on-one demo yesterday of the VirtuoLine (slightly newer product - said the only difference was size/shape and larger water reservoir). The coffee was plenty hot, and i like mine hot. It was too hot to drink and for quite some time.

Looks like everyone is confused - you need a testomonial! I love the product but have a gas range. It's worth the try because we are very happy with the product. Meat and veggies over a bed of spaghetti squash is a very good night. Let us know please, I'd like to give it to someone as a gift but have hesitated since they have an electric range like you.

I bought the Chinese one linked above, worked great in home tests, clogged the first time I took it into the field. I can't rely on it one bit.I don't want to carry four stoves (re: Stan in St Louistan) into the backcountry. I want to carry one, that will work, period. Is it worth $25 to have a failed stove halfway into a through hike? At least if the MSR stove had quit working, I would have been able to get it replaced.
