we make stoves, and we're cooks too!
this is just the tip of the iceburg on what the Impulse Cooktop can do and why it really is the highest performing stove out there.
A thing we do a lot at the
@ImpulseLabs_
office is ... cook steak.
But we can do it, thanks to our temperature sensors, in a totally novel way: via exact temperature reverse-sear.
~131F / 55C for ~1 hour (and 2 flips), then a quick sear.
No water bath, no plastic, 1 take.

thanks for this deep dive
@Noahpinion
- an informative read that covers a lot of things top of mind for us over here at Impulse HQ 🔋🔋🔋
Battery-powered appliances:
1. Can replace gas appliances without expensive rewiring
2. Store energy from the grid and smooth out the solar power curve
3. Are extremely high-powered, due to fast-discharging batteries
That's an impressive combination.

a perfect [insert preferred style] egg every time
A fun trick of “set stove to 330F” is you don’t have to be a particularly good cook to get stuff to release from a stainless steel pan — it won’t burn but will rather dehydrate and then de-stick.
And browned bottom + runny yolk is easy to get.

with the Impulse Cooktop, maintaining a low, even simmer for a giant pot of stock is as simple as, "set temp and leave it" ... no fiddling with a flame or adjusting the heat. bts from a visit this week with a special guest who showed us how it's done 🧑🍳.

(we're not like other stoves)
Due to the use of off-the-shelf components that pass compliance from a handful of upstream vendors, many appliance brands can’t do stuff like this.
But if you approach this as “make the best device from first principles” (and have an awesome team) — you can.

the math is mathing ✅
@sdamico
@PaulOWennberg
@ImpulseLabs_
So $5500 for 3 kWh or $1833/kWh. That's only ~80% more than the cost per kWh of an installed Tesla Powerwall a (~$13-15k installed for 13 kWh) and the Powerwall won't boil water for the kids pasta in 6 seconds! Not bad.

the 3 kWh battery in the Impulse Cooktop means higher performance (10 kW burner peak power), easier installation (works on 120V or 240V connections), back-up power during outages (approx. 3 meals), AND less strain on the grid during peak hours for cleaner energy use
