Brent and Dixie, You are right. My fruit, veggies and crackers and canned stuff would be easier there.

Foggy, If that works for you, you're welcome. Some places it's just really hard to do.

Nothing works for everyone all the time and is fun,
except my marina hopping and one pan dinners afloat.

Aye.

I like fish, I can catch fish, I don't like to eat them raw. So a grill is nice to cook the fish just wrapped up in tin foil, add some asparagus, tomatoes capers onion etc.. The grill also comes in handy for toasting bread. We carry pasta and tomato sauce. We use the induction cooker top for heating the sauce and then we boil the pasta. Nice to cook your own meals at times. We enjoy being somewhat self sufficient at least some of the time even at a marina. We like to drink on the boat. No tipping required. Much cheaper. Plus I like the company better. But if drinking bars and eating restaurants is you thing have at it. To each there own I guess.

I do enjoy solitude taking time to contemplate my navel, have a
sundowner in a remote place and enjoy one of my one pan meals;
browned grouper put back into the pan with rice, some white wine,
garlic, spices with broccoli and covered for 1/4 hour or so is wonderful.

I also enjoy grilling. I used to grill 'everything' until I discovered the
dangers of grilling things marinated in 151 proof rum. I also don't grill
salads anymore except a quickly grilled romaine head for a caesar salad
is amazing.

A steady diet of anything gets boring. I wonder how dogs do it. Thought
I'd never admit it, but yes, even bar hopping and eating at restaurants can
become bourgeois.

Aye.

I was interested in how the version of the Magma that works on induction stoves was made. I understood that they had to have some ferrous metal, but it wasn't clear to me from reading about it whether it was sandwiched inside or what. So I gave them a call (got right through to real humans, always nice), and they said that the ferrous metal is completely encapsulated. They did mention that on boats it's a consideration with compasses etc.

I was asking about the plain (vs. non-stick) set, although I suppose it's likely to be the same for both.

I think I may get a set - haven't decided whether to get the "regular" or induction. No specific plans for an induction stove, but... you never know. Leaning toward the regular though at this point. In the plain, the induction set is around $10 more than the non-induction set.
