Maybe. In pretty much every other choice I've ever made between SS and plastic, plastic has been less durable, long-lived and gotten more beat up over time. Parts change dimension over time, get brittle, discolored, tabs break off, etc., etc.
I guess I'm a Luddite, because I almost always choose corded over battery, and manual over electronic, glass over polycarb when I have a meaningful choice.
If you use the magnet, how high off the pan floor is the "Max" mark on the Joule? IOW, what is the maximum bath depth when it sits on the bottom? I guess from what you said above, there is a very small minimum fill, but why would anyone want a really shallow bath?
