I think you vastly underestimate the power of induction burners. They quickly concentrate a lot of energy in a small space. Mine came with a warning to always start at 60% power at most, so that's why I am so adamant about it.
I fully understand that this may just be the manufacturer covering his, um, behind. But I am not going to risk it.
So that would mean you can't put in oil either before heating the pan and checking the temperature. Are you then advocating for people not to cook with oil?
