Induction Cook top story
Posted by pawgles on 2010-09-02 20:51
 
So I'm building my dream kitchen in my imaginary house with my fictitious big bank account. In the kitchen I'm at the point where I'm adding a cook top. I've had a ceramic cook top for year and love it but now this new fancy induction cook top is out and I am very interested! So I head off to the Samsung website to check out models of stoves, cook tops and ovens. I even go to an appliance store(in real life) to look. I ask about induction cook tops interfering with pacemakers and they said they've heard rumors about it but check with your doctor. I'm not wasting my doctors time asking questions about my dream kitchen...yet. So I fire off an email to Samsung's website asking if there is indeed anything a person with a pacemaker has to worry about using an induction cook top. 3 weeks later I get this reply.

"Peacmakers are great people and they are welcome to own Samsung products"

I hit my head against a wall...

This is not joke, this really happened.

Dear Samsung,
I understand that the reason Sam Sung for the last time was that one of your induction stoves stopped his pacemaker,


LOL

Too funny!! But I think I'd be afraid to buy their stuff, warranty repairs would have to be a nightmare.

Pawgles, you've been around awhile, I'm surprised you didn't know that all appliances are hazardous to those of us with pacers, ICDs or CRTs and we should never ever be required to cook, clean, mow lawns, etc. Those tasks should be assumed by our spouse, children or others. TV channel selectors are the only electronics safe for us to operate that I know of.

I Know Cabg Patch. But if I let me husband do the cooking all I'd ever eat was frozen pizzas and kd. Sounds fine but I'd get sick of it after a couple of days. And I like to cook. Now I'd be perfectly fine without ever having to clean, mow lawns, shovel snow, do laundry, etc etc ever again. I don't have to shovel the snow when it's too wet and heavy in the winter. And I don't have to mow the lawn too often. But I have to do the cooking and cleaning... sigh.

Back to building my dream kitchen.

Where am I going to put the beef jerky cabinet???

Do you have any double blind clinical research to back up your claim?
