    The only niggle I have is trying to do a low/slow simmer - The "ring" (heating zone) pulses on & off which can cause the liquid to boil over in a small pan. It might be better with a heavier pan with a thicker base.
    I’ve never encountered that problem, are you sure you have an induction?
    Quite sure. It said "Induction" on the box, and it is repeated throughout the manual - And yes, I did read the manual :)

    I’ve never known that to happen, the lesser power models pulse when all the rings are occupied but that doesn’t cause one to boil over. I wonder if it’s working properly.

    Or is it me putting too much liquid in a pan.... Now that I know the zones pulse, I either use a bigger pan or cut back on the volume I'm trying to simmer.
    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
