Single Induction Cooktop

As you can probably tell by my one line review, I get pretty excited by awesome kitchen appliances... and this one is Awesome!! Full disclosure, I was looking for a double burner one but after 2 days of searching I was burned out. Luckily I waited because I hit the black Friday sale and this popped up for a ridiculously low price. Oh happy day!! So I bought 2 of them for a lot less than I would have spent on a double burner one, plus, I can crank them both to max heating power. Winner winner chicken dinner! Now let me tell you about the actual induction cooktop. I LOVE IT!!! I can't believe I waited so long to buy one! I'm used to cooking with gas and for sure this is just as comparable. Amazing 👏 My friend and I jaws dropped when we had boiling water within a minute or two. You barely put the pot on and you can see the tiny bubbles forming... it's so cool. As others have said, it comes with an instruction booklet, and yes, it's hard to understand. The cooktop is pretty simple. There is 2 cooking modes, one in watts and one in tempature. There's a - and a + to increase or decrease the watts or tempature and a power on/ off button, that's it. Just play around for a minute then you're good to go (but always have something on the burner when playing with the controls) It also has a child lock feature for the Littles. It comes with a built in fan that blows the heat towards the rear, and the fan will continue to blow after you shut the cooktop off for about 2 minutes to cool the unit down internally. The unit itself does not get hot at all to the touch except where your cookware touches the cooktop. Even then, it's not hot enough to cause a burn or anything like that, it's just extra warm... but you can literally run your hand all over the whole unit, cooktop included (up to where your pot or pan is sitting) and its cool to the touch. The unit is very light weight but sturdy. You will need magnetic cookware!! Hence the picture I posted with my review. I bought that frying pan specifically for the induction cooktop and wrote a review on it, so why not use the same picture for the cooktop review. If your not sure your cookware will work with induction, take a magnet and if it sticks to the bottom, your good to go. If not, you'll need new magnetic pots and pans. Cast iron will work, but be careful of the size and weight of the pieces. In all honesty I really do love this cooktop! I haven't had it for very long though, so I'm hopeful it will last a good long time. I'm kind of old fashioned and believe in quality and products lasting. If it does its a 10/ 10. One more tip... I found using a product like Awesome All Purpose Cleaner and paper towel worked WAY better in cleaning and leaving a streak free cooktop than using my Dawn dish water and sponge did, by far.

Works great! Easy to adjust the temperature. Works with cast iron skillets. I actually bought two of these to make cooking easier for me. I don't use my electric stove/oven. I try to keep my electric costs down. With these two, cooling is fast, and when I'm done, I can unplug them, and they are off. Can't do that with my electric stove. I'm a big fan of these portable induction cookers, and even use them in my camper

I really wanted a hot plate that offered a lot of power. I was hoping to find a burner that would get hot enough to sear meat easily. I used this hotplate tonight for the first time and I was shocked at how quickly it got hot and how it had a pork tenderloin sizzling in less than a minute. If your looking for a hotplate that has some power behind it, this is definitely worth the money.Unfortunately I found out that I have only 1 pan that is magnetic. Looks like I'll be purchasing some magnetic pots and pans.I need to study the manual a bit to really get to know how to use this hotplate to it's full potential.

My old faithful electric cooktop clunked out on me so I decided to upgrade. Currently using cast iron skillets and I’m so impressed with how fast it heats up. Like not even 30 seconds I can feel the warmth by 60 seconds water is boiling. My gas stove could never. And my electric cooktop could never.The temperature goes up and down so fast I’m still getting used to it. I count it as a plus. When you turn it on it automatically starts at 1200 and once the skillet is hot I adjust from there based on what I am cooking.It’s only been a few days but I have no complaints. If I were picky I’d mentioned it does make a whirring type sound. While in use and for about 30 seconds after you shut off. It’s not loud but it is noticeable and I’m not sure if all induction cooktops are like this.The instructions do say unplug when not in use. I’m always trying to keep our utilities low so this is a practice I already use to avoid phantom drainage.Our gas company has been exploitive and trying to over charge us which is why I started looking at alternative methods to cook at home. And this is allowing us to continue to save money.I did order a new cookware set as I don’t like using cast iron for everything but I only imagine this will increase my positive experience with this product.

We have not had the opportunity to use the hot plate just yet. It is a gift for my disabled daughter to become more independent. We were able to unwrap it today and pull it out of its box. The box it came in was damaged and had lots of tape to close it up. We have just opened it today and discovered that it had information written on the instruction manual that wasn’t ours, it was dirty and there was a scratch. The cooking surface looked great but our concern is if someone returned it, then why did we receive it.

I am so impressed with this company. At a time when customer service it a low priority this company when above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. I liked their product and was disappointed when it stopped working. After giving a low review, this company contacted me and worked hard to get me a new burner. I got my replacement yesterday and am already using it.My cooktop purchased in July 2021 turns off and shows E6. Only stays hot for about 45-50 seconds.I like that it heats water or soup so fast, had to learn to turn the heat down when cooking other things. Disappointed it stopped working.

This induction burner heats up quickly. You do need to have pans that are for the inductive burner. It will not heat up unless you have the pan on it, once you take it off the burner it shuts off automatically. Cleanup is easy.
