Make one the size of my 12" skillet so it doesn't create a neat little zone of heat surrounded by sticky cold pan, and I'm all yours. Haven't seen one yet.

    not quite 12" but the biggest element on mine would probably be great with your skillet (if its the right metal)

    I have a GE profile. That has the various sized burners. The odd part is the matching microwave got rid of many touch buttons and replaced it with a knob, which actually works well, but the stove has no knobs. Stove touch buttons work fairly well though, added bonus is you can lock the controls with a lock button. When looking my favorite choices came from ge profile and bosch.

    Looks good enough! All the ones I end up with are usually closer to 8" at most, and I ended up shifting the pan awkwardly to heat it evenly.

    What model?

    That’s one of my biggest objections - too many cheap ones with tiny coils. When I got mine, I ended up spending double what I planned, mostly so I could get useful sized coils

    And this being the US where induction is rare and expensive , I had to get a double oven and and “smart” features in order to get larger coils

    Consider one of those where you can combine the burners/zones

    Maybe I just haven't gotten to use a nice one yet - every time it's a landlord special, cheapest junk on the market.

    Yeah landlird specials suck. But if it's a newer one even the cheapest induction hobs are quite good

    Omg yes. I'd been wanting to try one out for a long time. My friend got one. Stayed over and tried to make my specialty giant pancakes. Sorely disappointed with the useless results. Now I just bring my waffle iron instead.

    i had one (a couple decades ago) that the large burner had two zones: both the ring and the center of the ring could be activated independently. it's been a hot minute so i don't remember exactly how it worked.

    and i need a 14 inch skillet for my good pastas
