I've heard about the oven and hot sand methods, kind of dangerous in an apartment.. would this be possible to do? I know it needs a ferrous cooking vessel for the magnetism stuff to work, and of course I have that kind of stuff lying around. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking
    No, this unit has the wrong frequency.



    I had a 15kva Induction furnace and you could purchase a wand to use for this purpose.
