How do you connect a 240V electric cooktop with four wires to the 120V services from the electric panel which is 2 wires?
If your electrical service is only 120 volts you have a problem. There is no way that you can connect a 240 volt cook top to that service. You have two options, one is to upgrade to a new 120/240 volt electrical service. Your other option is to find a 120 volt electrical cook top.
Can you plug a 125v into a 120v?
No. 140 volts on a 120 volt system is symptomatic of something wrong. On a 120 volt system, 120 volts is near the top end of the acceptable scale with 110 volts being on the lower end of the acceptable scale. The first thing that you should do is check your volt meter against another one to make sure that the readings are the same. Many times meters that get knocked about need to be recalibrated. If you know an electrician check your meter reading against what his shows using a common source of voltage at the time.
Why would it be difficult to cook an egg to a hardboiled stage at the top of a mountain?
Because of the altitude.
Is it bad to cook rice with plastic bags over the top of the rice and under the lid?
Yes
What size wire for electric cook top?
AWG # 6 copper or AWG # 4 aluminum
Can a stainless steel saucepan with flat base without magnetic base be used on induction cook top?
yes it can.
How much is an induction cook top and where can they be found?
You can find an induction cook top at almost any store that sells appliances. Depending on the brand, prices may be as low as $100 and up to $2,000 or more. Check out Lowe's, Home Depot, or even Sears to see what brands and prices they have to offer.
What happens if water is spilled on induction cook top?
You would remove the pot or pan and wipe up the water. They cook with magnetics instead of applied heat.
What sort of product does NuWave offer?
NuWave is a precision induction cook top. It's essentially a miniature cook top that one can plug in, that claims to cook more thoroughly and quickly than other cook tops. It can also be used as a warmer for a banquet dish,

What utensils can be used on a induction cook top?
In general, if a magnet attracts to the bottom of the cookware, it can be used on a induction cooktop. Aluminum, glass, ceramic, copper are not suitable for induction. Cast iron and some stainless steels are good. Carry a small magnet when shopping for induction cookware. The manufacturers will often state "induction ready" or similar wording on the packaging.
What makes a cooker hob?
A cooker hob is simpley the top of the cooker where pans are heated to cook food. Hobs can be gas, electric or induction. Makes of these are normally the main manufacturers.
Where online can I go to purchase an induction cook top?
The website Frigidaire.com/Cooktops has these types of cooktops available for purchase. Also, these can be found through amazon.com, they have reviews for their products as well.
Range of current and voltage produced due to electromagnetic induction?
Induction is the principle operating mechanism of transformers, so any voltage and current output of a transformer - a volt or less to hundreds of thousands of volts (I think the top AC voltage in the world right now is near 1,000kV), and milliamps to thousands of amps.
Can Revere Ware be used on Induction Cook Top?
yes, I have Revere stailess steel and it works at all temperature settings up to 575 degrees F which is as high as my Nu wave goes!

What is a induction cook top?
An induction cooktop uses electricity to generate a rapidly changing magnetic field in coils below the cooking surface. When a ferromagnetic vessel (something with a lot of iron in it) is placed on the surface and the coil is energized, the magnetic field rapidly "sweeps" the iron-based cooking utensil. The quickly changing magnetic field will, by induction, cause electrical currents within the metal cooking pan, and these eddy currents will heat the pan quickly. (Don't worry about being electrocuted.) In general, iron-based materials are not efficient conductors of electricity; there is a fair amount of resistance in the metal. Electric current flowing through resistance creates heat, and the electrical energy is converted into thermal energy. If you suddenly have the idea that glass or ceramic cooking utensils won't work on this surface, you would be correct.
