Careful about that induction hot plate, Gary. It may lead to an insurmountable urge to buy the full range. I know, I speak from experience. Of course, that’s a purchase I’ll never regret. Induction rocks!
Good luck with the pan. Vollrath makes good commercial stuff. I first tried a Lodge carbon steel pan but I replaced it with the DeBuyer precisely because it warped and wouldn’t sit flat.
ETA: If you absolutely cannot get a gas range, I cannot emphasize how much better induction is than a standard electric cooktop. Your statement that "cooking is fun" leads me to believe that you would certainly appreciate the difference. No more scalding, low enough steady heat to melt chocolate without a double-bolier, yet boiling times that shame the best electric range. I could go on...
