QuestionWhat is the size of the heating element itself? Will I be able to use a 10-inch fry pan with even heat distribution, how about 12 inches?
Asked 5 years ago by Cerulean.
- Answer I tested one with a 2 gallon soup pot and with a 12 inch frying pan. The first time the unit worked, it worked perfectly. The second time I went to use the unit, it gave an error code with a flashing U that is underlined. NO ONE at Best Buy or Insignia knew what that code meant, and because it happened AFTER the 15 day return period, they wont do anything about it. They cant fix it. I would suggest any other brand. This one doesnt work and there is zero support for it.

QuestionCan we use any pots on this cooktop or only insignia brand works on it
Asked 6 years ago by Maysoon.
- Answer The brand doesn't matter, being induction compatible does. Cookware will have an icon on bottom that looks like a coiled spring to show it's compatible. You can test with a magnet, of it attaches to pan or pot it will work. Cast iron cookware will work with our too.

QuestionWhat are the electrical requirements and is it a plug in or does it need to be hard wired?
Asked 6 years ago by paddy.
- Answer Standard 2-prong (ungrounded) US plug. 1800W means it will max out a 15A circuit at full draw. Mine has tripped the breaker once or twice before, if anything else is being used on the circuit at the same time I'm at full power. 1200W is the most you can pull on a 10A circuit.

QuestionWhat is meant by “single zone”?
Asked 5 years ago by Nell2.
- Answer A zone means a cook spot. You can only cook with one pan on it at a time. However, as both of the units I bought worked a SINGLE time, and then failed after the 15 day return date, I would highly suggest this product would not be a good choice for you.

QuestionIf I want to use this outdoors..What type of extension cord should I use ? Thanks
Asked 4 years ago by Jinny.
- Answer You should use a cord capable of 20 amps as this uses 15 amps. You don’t want to have the cord heat up if you are cooking on the highest temperature or power levels. If you plan to use lower levels a 15 amp cord would be fine.

QuestionHow much noise does this countertop makes.is it noisy when in use?
Asked 6 years ago by Iris.
- Answer It's a bit noisier than a computer fan, but you can still easily talk over it at a normal level. Similar to a white noise machine.

QuestionCan this be installed in the counter top?
Asked 5 years ago by Air.
- Answer No. It needs to circulate the air for internal cooling so the bottom and sides need air flow. I think there are induction stoves that are designed to be installed in a countertop but not these portable single pan stoves.

QuestionWould we be able to use a 23 qt pressure cooker on this? Dimensions are 15.4 inches long x 15.1 inches wide x 14.8 inches tall
Asked 5 years ago by KMF9.
- Answer You cannot use your cookware on this. Use a magnet to test the bottoms of cookware. If the magnet "sticks," you can use them with your cooker. You can use cookware with a diameter (at the base of the cookware) between 5.5 to 8.3 in. (14 to 21 cm).

QuestionHas anyone taken this unit camping? Does it work if plugged into a solar-battery power source?
Asked 4 years ago by Dedosdepie.
- Answer I have not but know that if you are using a power inverter with solar panels they need to handle a minimum of 15 amps at 120 volts AC. Some systems use batteries to store the power but you still need 120 volts AC at 15 amps minimum.
