Overview
Karinear's KNC-D22058 is a 12 inch two burner radiant ceramic cooktop, not induction, so it heats any pan you own. It runs on a 120V plug, measures 20.5 by 11.4 inches, and can be built into a 19.3 by 10.63 inch cutout or stand on its own feet.
The trade this model makes is deliberate. Radiant elements under ceramic glass are slower than induction and stay hot after shutoff, but they accept aluminum, glass, copper and thin stainless pans that induction rejects outright. That makes it a practical choice for a short term rental or guest kitchen where you have no control over what cookware guests bring. Touch controls cover a 99 minute timer, child lock, pause, auto shutdown and a residual heat warning.
- 1400W main burner, 600W secondary
- Nine power levels on the large element
- Cutout size 19.3 in. x 10.63 in. x 1.57 in.
- Sensor touch controls with residual heat warning
Who it's for
Good for studio apartments, offices, basement kitchenettes and rental units, and for anyone unwilling to replace a cookware set. It works as a countertop unit or a built in, which helps in spaces still being finished. Serious cooks who boil large pots often, or want fast response, are better served by induction or a 240V cooktop.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Karinear KNC-D22058 an induction cooktop?
No. It is a radiant ceramic cooktop, which means it heats the glass and then the pan, and works with any cookware material rather than magnetic pans only.
Does the Karinear KNC-D22058 need an electrician?
No. It ships with a plug for a standard 110 to 120V outlet, and four bottom brackets let you sit it on a counter instead of cutting it in.
What is the small burner good for?
Warming and gentle heating. At 600W with only low and high settings it suits coffee, milk or holding a sauce, not searing or boiling.
