Super conductive heating stove, anybody have one?

They were advertising this on an infomercial this morning. It looks pretty cool:

Would anyone recommend getting one?

Sorry, I think it was actually an inductive heating stove like this:

Problem for US users:

Power 220-240V, 50Hz, 2000W

Induction heating of cookware is the most energy efficient version of an electric cook-top, but it's pretty much useless without the induction cookware to go with it.

Personally, I'd look for a Natural Gas or Propane fueled cook-top (and oven, or standalone stove) because any kind of electric heating is inefficient when compared to cooking with gas.

Superconductivity only occurs in certain alloys and ceramics under extreme cold conditions. You won't find that in an oven.

This is the one they advertise on US TV...

It's $99.99 US, but you get two of them and the cookware.

I like kitchen gadgets, and this thread is relevant to my interests. Subscribed.

I'd be interested in folks "real world experiences".

I don't like electric stoves at all. IMO gas is the way to go.

Induction, although it uses electricity, is not the same as and electric stove. It is much more efficient than an electric stove or hot plate and can be controlled more precisely than gas or electric.
