Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have had this item for a few weeks now, and it has performed well. It not only lets you select the power in watts for heating things up, but it will also let you select the temperature. Neither the watts or the temperature are infinitely adjustable, but there are enough choices to make it usable. For instance in temp mode you can select between 180 or 210 degrees, basically boiling or not. It will go all the way down to 140. The wattage goes all the way up to 1800 for fast heating. The wattage and temperature modes are independent of each other. Change to power and set the wattage, it will pump out that many watts continuously. Change to temperature and it will maintain the temperature you set (I assume on the bottom of the pot). As I'm sure most know you have to have pots and pans that are magnetic to make it work, and the disk they sell is no alternative if you want to boil water, or heat things up alot. My allclad works great as do other pots I have. My Cuisinart pots don't, so take a magnet to find out. The stronger the magnet attracts the better the pot or pan will work (meaning the less energy will be used to heat the pot). I found that at its highest setting it will boil a quart of water from 64 degrees in less than 4 minutes.
UPDATE
I've had this unit for over a month now, and the more I use it the more I like it. Its nice having the temperature setting so I can heat soup or chili without worrying about it boiling over if I get busy. I find it less useful with large frying pans for cooking ground beef as it doesn't have a very large heating area. I'm using allclad pans so I assume its not the cookware. Of course when you compare 1800 watts to a gas burner on my range, the electric comes up short on power. What can you expect from a 110 outlet. It boils water in a 2 qt pot very fast, so I have to keep my eyes on it. I made 12 quarts of chili on it last week, and never burnt anything to the bottom of the pot by using the 180 degree setting. It was on the burner for 3 hours. Simply amazing.

Sleek and energy efficient, this commercial-quality cooktop brings the comfort and health benefits of home-cooked foods to the office, dorm room, catered affair, or anywhere in need of a portable heat source. Unlike standard electric elements, it supplies an induction heating element, which delivers the same precise control over the heat as with a gas burner, but without the danger of an open flame. The single burner provides seven power levels from 500 to 1800 watts and 10 temperature settings that range from 140 to 464 degrees F--perfect for everything from gently soft-boiled eggs to hearty soups, stews, and more. Its user-friendly push-button control panel features an easy-to-read digital display and a 170-minute timer that aids in properly cooking all dishes, reducing the risks of overcooking, burning, and waste. The cooktop delivers instant heat to induction-compatible cookware; it can also accommodate non-induction cookware with the use of an induction interface disk (model 6010; sold separately). For added safety and convenience, the appliance comes with cookware detection, a function lock to prevent unwanted changes to the settings, an overheat sensor, automatic shut-off protection, and a smooth design that wipes clean easily. Attractively housed in durable stainless steel, the induction cooktop measures 17-2/7 by 12-2/7 by 4-3/4 inches.
