What's the deal with winning toasters at arcades?
So I was at a seaside arcade over the past week. Spent some time spamming the 2p slots machines and tickets are firing out of this thing.

Talk me out of using countertop induction cooktops (with outlets for both higher powered commercial and lower powered household devices) as my burners vs having a built-in cooktop.
Besides not being aesthetically pleasing, what’s the downside of strictly using countertop induction cooktops, both commercial and household varieties, as my burners?
