Reply to comment by BitsAndBobs304 in Does thin stuff placed between pan and induction cooker affect efficiency in a significant manner? by BitsAndBobs304

The slower heating allows heat to leak out while you're not using the pan because it's not hot enough yet, and I'd bet a rag is at least a couple mm thick and would reduce the heating speed noticeably, so I'd say it would reduce the efficiency overall by at least 5% if not 10% or 20%. One of those thin lint free towels would be a better choice.

you mean microfiber? that has a melting point much lower than cotton

No, I thought the really thin dish towels were called "lint free". They weren't made of plastic and weren't microfiber cloth. They were more like the thickness of a t-shirt than a towel. They just didn't have the fluff that makes towels so thick.
