since a bunch of people haven’t seen what active temperature control of the pan surface can do — cooking an egg with some commentary on

@ImpulseLabs_

- butter doesn’t smoke - egg doesn’t stick - you only really need to keep track of the top of the egg’s appearance

i stopped watching when you didn't notice the egg shell. i kept saying "the egg shell, it's right there, what are you doing?". it made me slightly upset.

I noticed it...

I've always loved the idea of "invisible" induction cooktops that are hidden beneath the bench top. Any plans to offer something like that? Main appeal to me was the simplicity of cleaning a single flat surface with no edges / nooks for food to get trapped in.

you'd still need to drill a hole for the temperature sensor (not for the knobs!)

you gotta restart that video after that egg crack

yeah yeah yeah

what do i have to do to become the official egg cooker for impulse labs because this is sick

so you want a QA job?

Love your product, I did something similar (w/o battery):

The Ztove hob | Set the temperature and experience freedom

You’re doing it with sensors in the pans, right?

If you keep the pan surface at the leidenfrost temperature stainless is allegedly non-stick even to eggs. That would be an interesting demonstration, and it would show a non-stick perfectly cooked egg without added fat/oil

testing…

Any progress on a configuration to drop into a wider opening? I've been drooling for this for a long time now, to replace our 26-year-old 5-burner gas cooktop. Which I refuse to use b/c even our portable 1-burner induction cooktop is an improvement.

Yeah this is a major ask from folks and we’re listening!

Amazing! Love the software as well. Will there be possibilities of multiple languages/temp units for multilingual households?

Launch features include Celsius. Localization later.

keeping that egg crack in to generate more comments is genius been following along impulse for a while, this continues to impress

Channeling my inner

when seeing that egg cracking method, not to mention the overlooked shell part.

I’ll get him a stove if he forgives me

What safety mitigation is there for water flooding to the battery? And how safe secure is that? (Imagine a pot spilling, or even house flooding).

What do you do when the power goes out?

It still works

Bro I wish you could make a cheaper version, and also shipped internationally, that looks so cool.

both are goals

Did you just over-engineered the perfect egg cooking stove? I need it, now

maybe

Thoughts on how this compares to the Breville ControlFreak?

5x the power, less overshoot, better temperature accuracy, and center of the pan isn't cold from the sensor touching.

Had to stop. My OCD couldn’t handle the egg shell not being removed.

God dammit I'm gonna end up buying one of these, aren't I?

yes

How does this compare to a thermadore freedom?

You have to place pans in one of four places but it’s >2x as powerful even with a large pot that can use more of the freedom’s elements. Plus you get exact temperature control inside the pan vs. just a 0-10 type thing.

There is a piece of shell in the egg!

Does the dial control the temperature linearly, or is there acceleration? It seems like setting that last degree of precision takes a steady hand

Acceleration

This looks amazing but I’m curious if it comes with downdraft capability. I don’t have an overhead vent.

You barely need a vent with it.

Sam, why design all four burners the same size? Won't they be too big for small pans and too small for large pans?

those single egg cast iron pans (~3.5") work fine

Sam this is a dumb question and people probably comment on every post but - can we get these now?

Order now and ships soon (will communicate specificity much sooner)

This is so cool! Somebody tell me if this is available in Minnesota

yes

HOW DOES IT KNOW YOU TOOK THE EGG OFF??!

the temperature sensor is that fast!

How does the 'burner' handle shaking pans back and forth. Does it scratch it up?

It’s harder than the metal (it’s ceramic)

Is there a well around that dot/temperature sensor in the middle of each element? How hard is it to clean spills involving that part?

edge of sponge or rag w/ finger works fine

Is it like an induction cooktop if I use a small pot does it only heat the size of the pot if it’s smaller than the burner?

It heats the bottom

What is the amperage requirement at the electrical box

240/8.3A or 120/15A

These are all things you can accomplish with a normal stove top. Also that egg looks like shit.

thanks

Oooh can you try kettle corn with a Whirley Pop? It can be tricky since the temperature that pops kernels is higher than the temperature that burns sugar, so you have to act fast.

Bro I’m excited. Can you tell me how to sell your product to the people I see blanching at the price/performance of mainstream appliances? I saw an electric range the other day for $5k and it seemed no better than the legacy model I picked up for $160 at salvage.

Burners - hot to touch? Removable to clean under? Solid surround where the light is? Will eventually be integrated so a pan can’t tip? There’s a huge senior safety opportunity here also if these can be programmable not to turn on during certain hours, have shutoff timers, WiFi

Do you guys ever test these by having chefs use them or do you just put them flat and still on the stovetop and heat up one material at a time as fast as you can and equate that to performance?

When are you guys starting a cooking show with a killer chef showing off what they can do with this?

Is there going to be a mobile app for the cooktop? It should definitely be called Impulse Control

Why do we need seed oils if butter doesn’t smoke??

I did not know I needed a more technologically advanced stovetop until now

I can do this with a normal burner?

Have you guys ever explored adding a scale to the range? would open up a whole new world of precision in sauces and other reductions

Any chance there will be a 2 burner unit soon?

This is very cool. I wish there was a single burner standalone version of this for those renters that hate the electric countertop stoves we are forced to use…

Bravo! Loved this demo.

Is it true that because it’s powered off the battery there’s not the awful buzzing sound with tri-ply pans?

i've never wanted something so much that I knew I didn't need lol so cool

But why not just sell a version without the battery? I could peddle these things to hotels.

I'm stuck on the piece of egg shell you didn't retrieve.

Nice

I'm cooking this way every morning even without the temperature control, so there’s no value here for me. But yes, as a numbers lover, I would like to see the temperature of course

And the speed of heating impresses

I went to get this, then I saw the price. I realized it’s not meant for me.

Get that butter brown before putting the eggs in. You'll thank me later. Gad, what's shown here is basically poaching without water. Dull.

Wen U.K. pls

why would you take the knob off? that seems weird

For gosh sakes, add a tiny amount of water to the pan before you cover the egg.. the steam will firm up the egg yolk just enough... and use butter next time.. it gives it a creamy delicious flavor.
