Induction heating transfers heat directly to compatible cookware, making this a practical choice for pan-based cooking without an open flame. Use flat-bottom cookware with a magnetic base, such as cast iron, iron, enameled iron or magnetic stainless steel. The recommended cookware diameter is 5.7 to 8.2 inches.

How to use it

Place suitable cookware on the glass surface, then select wattage or temperature control with the push-button panel. Wattage mode lets you choose among 18 power levels, temperature mode offers 20 settings across the stated range. The BOIL and KEEP WARM buttons provide dedicated presets for those tasks, while the timer supports timed cooking. Press TEMP to switch the displayed temperature scale between °F and °C.

The burner includes pan detection, small-cookware detection, a child lock and automatic shut-off. It shuts off after two hours without operation or if its internal temperature becomes too high. A hot-surface indicator remains useful after cooking, so allow the surface to cool before wiping it clean with a cloth. Buyers commonly note quick heating and useful functionality, comments on temperature control are mixed, making the separate wattage and temperature modes useful distinctions to understand before selecting a setting.

In the box

The package includes the induction cooktop and a user manual. Keep the manual nearby when setting up the burner and learning the controls, presets and safety indicators.

Practical questions

What cookware works with this cooktop? Use flat-bottom pans with a magnetic, ferrous base. Cast iron, iron, enameled iron and magnetic stainless steel are listed examples. The recommended base diameter is 5.7 to 8.2 inches, pan detection indicates when cookware is not suitable for induction.

Can I adjust heat in more than one way? Yes. Select wattage mode for one of 18 power levels, or temperature mode for one of 20 temperature settings. The display can show Fahrenheit or Celsius, and the TEMP button switches between them.

Is it suited to everyday countertop cooking? It is intended for indoor use and provides one cooking zone, with BOIL and KEEP WARM presets, a timer and push-button controls. Its stainless steel and ceramic-glass construction makes it a portable option for adding a separate cooking surface.

Is it worth it?

Its 1800W output, selectable wattage and temperature settings, and dedicated BOIL and KEEP WARM functions support a range of countertop cooking tasks. Choose it for indoor use with flat-bottom magnetic cookware when an extra, adjustable cooking zone is the priority.
