do you guys ever have issues with cookware not being detected?

 

i've got some >30yr old stainless stuff -- various 'amway queen' pots and saucepans:

and while they weren't designed with induction in mind, a magnet will stick to them, and they clearly work on induction.

 

sometimes, my CF will recognize them, and i can use them without issue for hours on end.

other times, it just refuses to recognize them or just stops recognizing them mid cook.

sometimes power cycling the unit fixes it, sometimes not. it sucks :(

 

the thought occurred to me that something could be wrong with my unit, but i doubt it since all modern 'induction ready' cookware has worked flawlessly.

 

clearly, there is some programmed coupling threshold for detecting cookware. i wish there were a debug mode where you could adjust that coupling constant!

 

maybe someday, someone will reverse engineer the firmware and release a custom one with such a debug menu. a guy can dream.

 

but hm, this thing is under warranty. i wonder if they would be able and willing to tweak that for me to make it more tolerant of cookware?

(and upgrade my firmware while they're at it, lol)
