4-Piece Induction Cooktop Set - Black

This has a learning curve. Watch this when you turn it on. Its preset and depending on what you are cooking, it can burn your food. First use I used it to melt butter to fry eggs. It burned the butter. Turned it off let it cool and tried to cook eggs they burned and stuck to the pan. Now I turn it down right away for those kinds of food. Everything else it cooks great. So watch your adjustments and you'll be just fine. Also don't walk away for long when you are cooking. It cooks fast and can surprise you. This sounds like kind of a negative review but I actually like this more than my review let's on. Once you get things figured out its a great little cook set. I use it all the time now and love it. Looking forward to try caning with it. I'm going to use this outside and camping as well. It also will come in handy when the holidays roll around.

Unit actually works great. Can set it in a location to where oil splatter is easier to clean up instead of on the stove top. What I did not realize is that all my stainless steel cookware is not compatible with induction units. Base of the pan you are using has to be able to attract a magnet. You are also limited to a pot/pan no larger than 7.9 inches in diameter. Both the pot and small skillet that comes with the unit are very nice, but small.

We've had this for a few weeks now and it has worked well for us. Boils water faster than our gas stove (our daughter timed it as part of her science fair project) and nice to have the extra burner. It does have a moderately loud fan, which stays on to cool things, even after you turn it off. All of the standalone induction cookers we looked at also had fans. The pan and pot that come with it seem OK, though on the small side. Definitely not big enough for Chinese "hot pot", so we'll have to get another pot for that.

Best choice ever. I purchased an electric double burner cooker a few months ago from a well known retail giant, and it couldn't even bring water to a full boil let alone cook anything larger than a small pan fried portion of vegetables. This induction cooker is the complete opposite! The design is super sleek and modern so it fits in really well with any kitchen. The 2 pots it comes with are on the smaller side which come in handy, but you will need to go out and purchase some larger stainless steel only pots and pans. This induction cooker only uses pots that a magnet can stick to the bottom of. I thought that I would regret this purchase only because it's a single burner but you won't as long as you purchase a larger sautée pan, can do multiple items in same pan. Amazing portable cooker!

i got one over a year ago ,, and gotten to really like these ,, i taken it traveling in hotel room to make perk coffee, cook snacks - soups , etc .. The most appreciation is cooking in the summer, that you don't heat up the kitchen ,, i like the low setting for a more easy control low cook situations, like rice, or simmer ... I like the timer that will shut off and i don't have to worry about over cooking or burning while busy cooking or doing other t hings,, and I can go on and on .. .i used this with hot convention oven on same kitchen outlet and does not throw a breaker. .. but a downfall is if you only have one ,, you essentially cook one item at a time ,, i now can cook two items at the same time for a meal too .. but if one ever breaks,, i still have one that should works ...

Wanted a faster more efficient way to cook. Love the unit and it comes with a perfectly sized pot with cover and a pan just the right size for so many items. I use my induction cooktop every day instead of my old coil top which took so long to boil water. Now I place a pot of water on the induction top and it begins to heat immediately. My cooking time is cut drastically. The top surface is easy to keep clean and I know that I am saving a lot of energy when I use it. It heats the pot and not the air around it like my old coil unit so it keeps the kitchen much cooler. And it comes with a small flat magnet that you can bring with you to check any new pots that you may want to buy. Most of my old pots and pans worked so I didn't need to invest in any new ones. I could see people taking this unit out to their porches or decks along side their grills or on the road with them if they travel in campers, etc. And it has a timer built in which I use all of the time. Once it is set and your time is up it actually turns off the cooking unit. What a fantastic idea and so useful.

The last induction cooktop I bought 2 years back from eBay stopped working all of a sudden and I was looking around for another one. I couldn’t find one within my budget until I came across this which was on sale for 50% off. So I decided to buy this. It looks good and works alright though it takes longer to heat up than the one I had before. I guess it’s because it’s rated at 1300 W when most induction cookers on the market are 1500 W and even go up to 1800 W. Also it’s super noisy, the fan that runs in the product. So if you are okay with a slightly longer heating time and the noise, it’s a product I would recommend.

So far, very happy and especially in the summer hot days ,, that you don't introduce a lot of heat in the kitchen compared to the gas stove or like the heater element of portable electrical stove / grills that I also bought ... The induction actually cooks faster too ,, which was a surprise ... Nice features are to move it outside, easy to clean, timer and it does do a pretty good job of setting a specific heat range .... you need to experiment ,, but if you record what setting you use at the start to record what setting works best ,,, you then just need to reference it , instead of trying to remember what you did last my only disappointment is not all my pots and pans are steel ....
