Hopefully I'll haul minimal cookware but wondering about
my induction burner needs the special pot. The question
in my mind,,,, that special pot I use on the induction
burner,,,,can it also be used on the propane stove? It
sounds like an idiot question cause I have a pot for everything,
even one to piss in, lol lol lol
I really prefer microwave dinners but that isn't always
going to be the norm. The freezer only holds so much.

My copper frying pan ($20 Walmart) is my new best friend on the propane stove. I don't have an induction burner, so don't know about that.

My induction pot is a good size for boiling stuff so just trying to determine
if it can be used on any stove other than the induction burner.

I Googled it. And here's what I got:

Makes no difference if its induction ready--you can use it on gas or electric. It just matters the other way--if its NOT induction ready, its good for ONLY gas or electric. A heavier weight pot is, in general, better for cooking. So, never fear, go ahead and use it for whatever.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Laura, I kinda thought so but here lately my brain has gotten google
overload trying to learn systems on the motor home. I just figured out
today I have a maintenance routine for my generator as I go through my owners
manuals. and I still have a question on that! I'll post separate if I can't find the
answer.

We use our induction ready pans on electric stove top. Some of our old pots we were able to use on induction because they are good quality stainless steel which attracts a magnet held to it. So years on our various stoves electric and gas and now they graduated to induction!

As the others have said, yes, you can use the induction pots on your propane stove. Take a magnet to the pots you own and see if the magnet sticks. If so, you can also use those for your induction cooktop. The stovetop in our motorhome is induction and I absolutely love it and hope you'll like yours as well.

Well, the first good rule of thumb is to run it monthly on a load for an hour. A load refers to something that "tugs" at the generator -- usually something that requires quite a few amps of power. We've taken our rig out on a weekend, gone to breakfast, and run the AC or our space heater for an hour. Or we use that time to do a major cleaning, running a vacuum along with the AC. If we're going camping & the weather's warm enough, we'll turn the generator on & run the house AC as we drive.

Ours needs an oil change every 50 hours. And there's other servicing it requires regularly, but I don't know offhand what it is.

When people say that the generator they're trying to sell you on has hardly been used, consider that a red flag. They're meant to be used, and if they're not, their carburetors can get really gunked up.
