I would kill for an induction hob that has a magnetic stir bar system, how has cooking not stolen this trick from the chemistry world

@benjojo not a hob but you can get blenders that cook the contents. Idk how they don't explode but thermomix has been around for a long time and there are a bunch of much cheaper knockoffs now.

@benjojo for something like heating milk it would work pretty well and I believe some milk frothers with in-built heating have those but most stuff that needs to be constantly stirred (sauces, risotto, …) is just too thick so the stir bar would just slip and even if it spins most stuff wouldn't move. For that you'd need a stirrer directly connected to the motor which ideally scrapes the whole surface

@benjojo wait, a what? so it's induction but there's something in the pot that is affected by the magnets and that stirs the food?
