QuestionWhat happens when you forget it on?Does it have any timers or alarms, etc.?
Asked 10 years ago by Pickle.
- Answer There is a timer that you can set. You are able to set the timer anywhere from 0 to 3 hours, all in 10 minute increments. Once the timer reaches zero the cooker will shut off. Also, If you try to use this without cookware on the cooking surface it will not heat up and an alarm will sound. If cookware is not placed on the cooking surface within 10 seconds, it will return to standby mode. If the cookware is removed, a buzzer sounds and it will go into standby within 10 seconds if cookware is not placed back onto the unit.

QuestionCan you set this stovetop to a specific temperature? For example, to use as a sous vide, or candying, or frying.
Asked 9 years ago by Djmalo.
- Answer This unit has a temperature range from 1-10 so if you wanted the lowest you could set it to 1 and it would keep your pan warm or sort of a simmer. It actually comes with an owners manual that gives the power level, watts and cooking level for each number. For example, setting the power level to the lowest number 1 uses 120 watts and the cooking level would be "simmer/keep warm. If you set it to 10 then it uses 1300 watts and the cooking level would be high/boiling.

QuestionHi. Is it cool to the touch? Thx.Induction tops are supposed to be cool to the touch at all times.
Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Induction heaters will only heat compatible pots and pans, and will not transfer heat to non metal objects. But, If you have been using one of those pots or pans and remove it, the surface is still going to be hot to the touch.

QuestionMinimum safe distance to keep metal away from the stoveUnder the tabletop, I see some metal strips. Will this be a problem? What is the minimum safe distance to keep metal away from the stove ?
Asked 10 years ago by Bill.
- Answer Using this induction cooker on your table top will be fine, regardless of the metal strips under the table. The cooker should have 4.7 inches of space on all sides. Do not put any metal on the cooking are unless you are wanting to heat it up, otherwise metal will be fine outside the 4.7 inches.

QuestionIs this noisy? I have one unit (not the same brand) that has a pretty noisy fan that runs when it is on.
Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Yes the fan is noticeable but I don't seem to mind it as I am usually busy doing other kitchen tasks. In a way it sort of reminds me that I have something on the cook top and not to go off and leave it unattended. Before I got this induction top I was forgetful and the pan would boil over and make such a mess. I don't seem to do that now.

QuestionDo you have to use a special type of pot and pan on the surface unit
Asked 8 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer You don't actually need "special" pans, they just have to be magnetic on the bottom. Copper bottom, like real Revere Ware, and all-aluminum cookware do not work! Some stainless pots and pans are magnetic -- some are not. Castiron pans will work, but that defeats the purpose: quick to heat and easy to change cooking temperatures. This is a different cooking experience that takes a little getting used to, but it's fast, fun and very efficient.

QuestionDoes the burner turn off and on like some glass cooktops? Or does each temperature stay on with a steady heat ?
Asked 8 years ago by Van.
- Answer No. It heats in cycles & the skillet and pot often burn what you are cooking if you are not on top of it. What comes with it is too thin. Good for boiling without heating up the house.

QuestionHow does this product work in a semi truck
Asked 7 years ago by Johnniebabe.
- Answer This would work great in a cab for a truck driver. It's small enough to store and as soon as you take off the pot it starts to cool off within seconds. So no fire hazard if you fell asleep with it on as it only works with the pan touching it. You would need an AC convertor for the plug or at least an AC plug to power it but they are pretty common.
