I just got one of these here in Germany.

Pros:

- boils water as quickly as gas
- more efficient - only heats the botton of the pot / pan
- heating takes place directly in the pot / pan - it doesn't have to go from the burner to the pan
- the pots and pans I bought from IKEA 4 years ago work fine - a magnet sticks to the bottom of them
- unlike a gas or electric range, I can use it as extra countertop space
- it something boils over its not going to form a terrible burned crust - its not even going to get that hot

Cons:

- You should lift your pots and pans and not shove them around the surface, as it can scratch over time

I used to think straws were silly until I realzed

1) that they help you acutally enjoy the taste of your drink more than if you just fill your whole mouth with a gulp of numbing liquid.

2) if I don't have a straw, I am just wasting lots of flavor and liquid. I mean, when I drink out of a glass, how much liquid just ends up splashin' against the walls of my cheeks where there aren't any tastebuds? And the studies are out - the body can only use 300 ml of liquid every 15 minutes no matter how thirsty you are, so why not savor and regulate that small amount?

I like to go for shallow open-air wooden shelving and then place the glasses upside down and hanging slightly off the edge of the shelf. I don't have a dishwasher so that way they can air dry.
