The Residence on Fifth is home to the CMU Pantry

The Residence on Fifth has induction stoves. The controls respond to touch so you don't need to apply pressure. Use the ball of your finger versus the tip. You will hear a beep each a touch is registered. Make sure the controls are always clean and dry and that there is no object (like a cloth) covering them. Even a film of water may make the controls difficult to operate. Learn how to choose the right cookware for induction stoves.
