Can't you put in in water and see how much it displaces in order to figure out the volume?

Only if you eat gebroks :P

All the shiurim are volume measurements. How does weight match up to a kezayis?

Not all halachic shiurim are volume. An amah isn’t volume.

No idea how the experts extrapolated from volume to weight, I’ll leave it to them.

A kezayis of matzo generally weighs a certain amount. This weight would only be accurate when measuring matzo. You would need to know the weight for marror in order to do marror, etc.

Obviously. I was referring to the three you mentioned, reviis, kezayis and kebaitza

I didn’t mention reviis and said the other two are technically measures of volume.

I've gone through too many of the regular ones, used infrequently, before giving up.  I've heard good things about induction cooktop burners, but I never bought one, so can't compare.

If your just using it on and off and not planning on leaving it on, the portable propane ones are pretty solid, if they work for you.
I could imagine you would want to leave on...

Definitely considered unsafe indoors, but there are people that do it.
