How does Poland generate electricity?

Mainly locally mined coal (87% of all electricity generated in 2012), with some secondary hydro and wind energy. We use gas but it is not substantial (maybe 2-5%).

Can the induction panel do this?

No, but this oven can.

Such a reliance on coal is probably not so great in the long term either.

Edit: Also, the U.S. government disagrees with your stats. 

Though you mentioned production, not consumption.

In 2012, Poland's total primary energy consumption was 3.9 quadrillion Btu. Coal constituted 55% of consumption, with the remainder represented by oil (26%), natural gas (15%), and renewable energy sources (4%), according to the BP 2013 Statistical Review.

I took my data from the Polish energy regulator's website.

Oh, it's an induction panel. What was I supposed to get? A gas stove? 

I have a normal oven as well, it's just elsewhere in the kitchen.

Yes, gas.  Figured you'd have put out for at least a decent Viking, if only for a 4-burner.

I have a six-burner Viking. The damn thing has enough BTUs to heat the whole house if I turn them all on.


Anyway, here's my cooktop steak method. Use a cast iron pan and heat it way the hell up. Then take your steak and put it on its side on the pan. The steak usually has a fatty edge--that's the one you want to cook first. Use no oil, butter or anything. Cook that side edge to get your oil to cook with and then do it a few minutes a side. Use some salt. That's it. Nothing else needed.

[Martinus]

Any suggestions for the sides?

No, but this oven can.

Baking a pepper (which your oven would do) isn't the same though.

Actually that was my one thing against the electric stove I had, I couldn't roast tomatoes over a flame for when making salsa.

[Martinus]

Wouldn't putting them on a hot grill serve the same purpose?

[garbon]

A grill over an open flame? Sure.

Sometimes, only for a few moments, I wish I were American. This time, because of Pizza Hut's bacon and cheese stuffed crust pizza. Holy shit.

My delivery service does a chili cheese crust. Which is ok. Basically a spicy cheese crust. But I add bacon to my pizza.

Most recent pizza I ordered: buffalo sauce, feta, jalapenos, spicy chicken, bacon, beans, meatballs. With chili cheese crust.

I was rather unimpressed when I tried Pizza Hut's stuffed crust pizza, though they didn't include bacon back then.

[derspiess]

Yeah, the stuffed crust always sounded better in theory than in practice.  IIRC at one point Pizza Hut was baking pasta into their crust, which was just bizarre no matter how you slice it (sorry).

Pizza Hut is an abomination to hod. I'm not saying that out of some healthy or food snob place, it just really is terrible.
