iPortable Induction Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having owned a 5 zone induction cooktop imported from the UK in my previous home, I was already spoiled and no stranger to the responsiveness, efficiency, and pure power of induction cooking as well as the different brand units out there. I was a tad nervous about plunking down $500 for a single induction burner, however, this little workhorse has proven to be one of the most joyously hard working appliances in this old kitchen being used exclusively now while the archaic smooth top stove sits cool and idle.
The heat settings on this unit are spontaneous and responsive with a range that will shame your pro-gas stove or cooktop for putting a perfect sear on a roast and boiling a large pot of water lightening fast, plus all settings in between that are dead on accurate as well as a setting low enough to be used as a hot plate. And all this can be done anywhere, even outdoors. What a concept!
I highly recommend this Viking cooker if you are considering bringing induction into your home and would like a test drive a unit that is truly top notch and representative of the genre.
***Important to remember with all induction cooktops is your cookware must be ferrous or magnetic. You can test your pots and pan bottoms with an ordinary kitchen magnet. Cast iron and enameled steel work wonderfully on induction and now there are many cookware manufacturers producing lines of stainless steel that are induction capable.

GE Profile CleanDesign : PHP900DMBB 30 Induction Cooktop, 4 Induction Elements - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Cooking (mainly Italian) is my hobby. My 16 year old GE radiant still worked but the amount of time it took to heat up and, most importantly, the amount of time it took to cool down was frustrating. The heating time could be blamed on older burners but it is typical for radiant cooktops to take quite a while to cool down. When I had something that needed to be heated to boiling and then reduced to a simmer I had taken to turning on two burners -- one on medium or high and the other on low and moving the pan between them.
I would have thought about a gas stove but my kitchen is not plumbed for gas. When I saw the induction concept I was somewhat sceptical at first and bought a single burner induction cooktop to try the concept. I quickly became a convert. The induction cooktop will bring water to a boil in less than half the time of my old radiant cooktop and, more importantly, the temperature can be reduced immediately. And when I say "immediately" I mean immediately. One can go from a rolling boil to no boiling within seconds (see video here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgKJLF0AyKI).
I had to have my electrical supply to the cooktop upgraded from 30 to 40 amps for the cost of about $800 and I can truly say that this cost and that of the cooktop has been well worth it.
Since most of my cookware was not induction capable I did need to buy some more but that was a relatively minor cost. Besides, after 30 years of marriage my wife now has new things to give me for presents ;-)
GE has a great product here. The large burner on the right will go to 3200 watts and will bring 4 - 6 quarts of water to a boil in 10 - 15 minutes. The cooktop looks great and functions even better. GE customer support was fantastic. The induction cooktop is supposed to fit right into a cutout for the Profile line but, prior to ordering, I emailed them to get the exact dimensions of the cutout necessary for my old cooktop. It took a few days but they did research it and emailed me the information.
Both GE and Thermador have very useful information and videos on their web sites for anyone interested.

Frigidaire Professional Series FPCC3685KS 36 Induction Hybrid Cooktop - Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This delivered what I expected: all the benefits of induction cooking at a reasonable price with backward compatibility.
This induction cooktop is very powerful. In my tests, two cups of water were boiled in 90 seconds. This beats any non-induction cooktop I have ever seen including the fancy gas ones. Also, it can produce more bubbles than any other cooktop.
But it's not just powerful, the heat was very even as seen in the boiling pattern of a frying pan.
Some might prefer to pay more to have all burners be induction. I think the two induction burners are enough for high heat and the 3 electric burners will be useful for keeping other pots warm as well as any non-induction compatible cookware I have.
I use IKEA's 365 series cookware with this cooktop and it works very well.

Continental Electric CE23309 Single Burner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this single burner/hot plate to use for cooking at the office. It gets the job done and I would say that I am very satisfied with the purchase.
The burner gets nice and hot on the high setting.
It comes at a great price as well.
The first time I used it there was a little smoke coming from the plate but it went away after a few seconds. According to the manufacturer its normal for that to happen and it hasn't happened again.
