Thread: Induction cooktop test - lentil curry

Sun has poked it head out….

Not bad for 240w of semi flex solar panels sitting above a black roof…..

Well, done and dusted…….




Battery capacity 85% down to 54% = 62ah……this would have smoked my previous battery setup, don’t forget I had solar going in as well.



The wind picked up even more during the cook, this would have been a nightmare with gas…anybody in brisbane today will know how windy it is

Solar harvest, condition were not idea, below include solar harvest prior to starting the cook, 340Wh = 28ah….




Induction cooktop set @ 200w I’d say it was just above a simmer…..I have video but cannot upload here.

Anyways, em happy with the outcome, we’d get at least three meal out of the cook up.

Our plan would be cool this on a morning that we have a 2-3 hour drive..that way we’d be back to 100%

Will give a chicken curry ago next time…..

Sure at home we’d let our curries simmer for many hours…..life on the road means shorter cooking times although I am thinking maybe popping the curry into the travel buddy oven for the 3 hr drive after the initial cook on the induction.

Still happy with ditching gas, that the expense, weight saving, recharge time has been worth it.
