Overview
The Amazon Basics C18-RK18W01B is a single-burner 1800 watt induction cooktop with 8 power levels, a 160 to 440 degree Fahrenheit range and a 3 hour timer, sized for flat-bottom induction-ready cookware between 5.7 and 8.2 inches across. It's built as a portable stand-in for a full range, not a replacement burner for a built-in stove.
- 1800 watts, 8 power levels, 160-440°F range
- 3 hour timer with child lock

Will my cookware work on the Amazon Basics induction cooktop?
Only flat-bottom cookware with a magnetic base works, such as cast iron, enameled steel or magnetic stainless steel; aluminum and rounded or uneven bottoms will not heat.
