Overview
A portable induction cooktop with 91 temperature settings from 100 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit in 5-degree steps, a probe for monitoring liquid or food temperature, and a 12-inch ceramic glass surface.
Induction cooking here requires magnetic cookware: cast iron and induction-rated pans heat fastest, while thinner or non-magnetic pans heat slowly or not at all. It draws real power, so running it alongside another high-draw appliance on the same circuit has tripped breakers for at least one owner.
- 91 settings, 100-500°F in 5° steps
- Includes temperature probe to 480°F
- 12-inch shatter-resistant ceramic glass surface
- Auto shutoff when cookware is removed
Who it's for
Campers, RV owners, and anyone in a small kitchen or dorm wanting precise temperature control without an open flame or hot coil. Not for households without induction-compatible cookware, since that is a separate purchase.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners use it for camping, RVs, and as a faster alternative to their home electric cooktop, praising the quick heat-up and precise temperature hold; the recurring caveat is its power draw, which has tripped a circuit breaker when run alongside another appliance on the same line.
