Every now and then I like cooking popcorn with olive oil. It's a healthier snack alternative than some other fatty, salty bought products. This is one case where the induction hob is definitely not as good as a gas one. Lifting the pan to shake the popcorn around takes it off the heat source, however, we have heavy bottom steel pans so the heat is probably retained long enough for a quick swish around.

We also have a couple of cast iron frypans so they retain the heat well, and distribute the heat across the whole pan after a short period on the hob.
