Planning kitchen appliances. How to proceed. Market is not clear

Just discovered: my new cooktop can display the energy consumed during the last cooking process. So I tested it right away.

Cheap pan from Lidl after 3 min. boost: 0.08 kWh. Corresponds to an average of 1.6 kW.

The good old steel enamel pot from my mother after also 3 min. boost:
0.14 kWh, which is 2.8 kW.

The difference was also not hard to recognize, the pan was simmering gently, the pot was boiling wildly.

The induction base of the pan is even slightly larger than the base of the pot, but the pot is solid steel through and through, so it can also absorb the magnetic field from the sides.

Our Neff cooktop has that too. Unfortunately, it's just a gimmick and nothing more. For comparing pots, it might of course be okay.

Edit: You seriously had the two pots on "Boost" for 3 minutes without any contents?

I just put a "cold" iron pan on the stove and turned on the Boost. After 14 seconds I stopped, the patina was smoking, the infrared thermometer showed over 200 degrees.

3 minutes Boost? Then the fire department will come.

Our Neff cooktop has that too. Unfortunately, it's just a guessing tool and nothing more. It might be okay for comparing pots, of course.

Of course not! 1L of water. I don't find it that inaccurate for comparison, since the values are reproducible. The same values come out again.

Our cooktop also indicates this after each cooking process. However, the household electricity meter always shows less, even though, of course, other consumers are connected there. I also cannot imagine that current transformers are installed there.

Really? For me, a liter of water would be gone after 3 minutes of boost already.. Definitely in that pot and not the pan...
