Amazon Basics1800W Electric Portable Induction Cooktop, Induction Burner with Child Lock, Overheat Protection, Timer, 8 Power Settings, Up to 440°F, for Cookware with Diameter 5.7"-8.2", Black

I purchased this to experiment with induction cooking. I have a nice set of cookware which also works with induction and wanted to see whether it was "all-that".I find this quite convenient for times when I just want to quickly prepare a meal, or when I am cooking for a crowd and need an extra cook-top. It is compact, sturdy, easy-to-clean, quiet, efficient and easy on my electric bill, and makes swift work of bringing liquids up to a boil if needed in a timely fashion.It is light and portable enough to bring with for events, camping, motel room, etc. For the price, I consider it a decent investment. I actually have several "Amazon Basics" cooking items and they all perform quite well.

This burner is awesome. And I don't use superlatives often when rating anything. But this product deserves it. It heats quickly, cooks evenly and cools almost immediately when turned off. I have a gas stove, which I don't use out of safety concerns and I wasn't sure if I wanted to get an induction stove, so I thought I'd give this a try. It has sold me on the benefits of induction cooking. Highly recommend.

First experience with induction cooking. Like it a lot, but have not yet mastered obtaining gentle, low heat, say for scrambled eggs. Even on the low setting it seems to want to cook hot. I've have read that this is a common difficulty with the inexpensive models.

I’m in my room in tears right now because I come home for a long 8 hour shift and I’m thinking all I want is pasta for dinner and since I don’t have a kitchen available I bought this product to make myself some pasta. And I WAS DISTRAUGHT WHEN IT DIDNT WORK. I paid extra shipping too😾. Anyways I’m going to panda express because I can’t cook my own pasta do not buy it

It works very well. Predictable cooking experience. Never burn my eggs anymore.Auto timer turn off is a nice touch.Fan is loud but not a dealbreaker. Wouldn’t be a big deal with music and general conversation. Loud if it’s the only thing that youre focused on.

This was perfect for my brother's dorm room.

Got this as a small secondary hot plate as my apartment stove is smaller. Just wanted something to keep sauces, soups and such warming.Unfortunately, even the lowest temp setting - 160 - is too hot. Anything in it burns.Other than that, it's small, relatively quiet, and light. Easy to tuck away when not in use.

we got this as a trial for full induction cooktop. The electric stovetop we have is the old 70's model spiral unit, and the elements hardly plug in and make connection, its history. So we removed the burners and dials from half the stovetop and set this up next to two other burners. We expect to get a full 4-burner unit within a year.Anyway, this unit works great. Its a little odd getting used to the controls, but perhaps they all work this way. There are two buttons to push to start up, "On" and "Power", and it automatically comes in at level 8. Changing heat levels is done with the + and - keys, very straightforward. The burner accepts up to 12 inch and heats our Eberhard Faber cookware quickly. As the cooktop itself does not heat up, there is no bottom scorching one one can concentrate on cleanup on inside of pan; this differs from conventional electric flat cooktops. All kinds of foods that were an agony on the spiral cooktop come out perfectly on the induction. Temperature change is rapid and easy to control. setting 3-4 are the standard sautee levels and 1 is for warming. 8 is for boiling water or heatup. We have experimented to detting a cooking time after starting and after the time is elapsed the unit turns off. Its great. We are sold on induction.While we will replace this unit with a 4-burner induction cooktop when we replace our counters, this one may be useful in thge travel trailer. They use a lot of juice at full bore (800 watts/burner at 8) but little heat is wasted, it all goes in the pan. Cooktop cleanup is easy and little effort. This unit would be great for a small kitchen, though having a second burner would be nice and probably still go on a 20 amp circuitAll our cookware (same brand) worked on the induction except one pot, which apparently has a lot of aluminum in its base.Do not try this on non-flat bottom cookware. If your base is non conductive (like aluminum) the unit makes a strange symbol that means, Nope.Nice job amazon!
