Duxtop 1800W Portable Induction Cooktop Countertop Burner, Black 9100MC/BT-M20B

Works really fast and well, and has a timer feature that makes it safe to leave the room while something's cooking. I set the timer to no more than it will take to cook and it shuts off the heat when the timer ends.This is so much faster than my oven's rangetop, which is made of Schott Ceran. The inductive cooktop heats the induction-ready pan directly, whereas the oven's rangetop has to heat its slow-heating ceramic top, which then heats the pan.

I have not yet found any dislikes about this product. It performs well. I tested the two cup boil test immediately after receiving it. This cooktop excelled way past my expensive 3 yr old smooth top range. To be clear, once you can heat water and your cookware this fast you cannot go back from that. I knew all of my current cookware would not work with the cooktop, I well understood that when I purchased it. However, about half of my cookware does work with it. Because I am so pleased with the use of this cooktop I was motivated to order a few more essential cookware. I’ve been using this cooktop for nearly a week now, I ordered two of them. I have not turned on my smooth top range since they arrived. I find that learning to regulate the temperature while cooking was easy for me. It didn’t take me long at all learning to regulate the temperatures I needed effectively which made for quick and easy meal preparation. Far easier than using my range. All of the food I’ve prepared using these two cooktops have turned out well and delicious. I’m sure I will eventually need to use my range again for some reason but with these two induction cooktops and my two instant pots it will certainly not be often. To be clear, I’m absolutely in love with these two induction cooktops. If you need to prep do it first because your pans are going to heat up quickly! You won’t have time to heat your pans and prep simultaneously! In about one minute or so it’s time to start cooking if you are sautéing and about 3 minutes if frying in shallow oil. Anything that helps me to produce quality meals quickly is a win win for me. Additionally other benefits of using induction is they do not heat up you or the room. They only heat the pan. The food cooks while the unit is in operation. Turn of the unit and the cooking process stops immediately. My big stove makes my air conditioner come on minutes after turning it on. That doesn’t happen with these induction cooktops! 🙂I’m so glad I bought these! I highly recommend this cooktop. 😎

I love this. After installing A/C in my home I wanted to cook without opening up the entire apartment. Got this because it seemed to be the best option based on functionality and price.PROsSimple to operate - press and go with no complicated presets.Easy to clean - Even a damp paper towel works wellHeats more evenly than my gas stovePossible ConsDoesn't really bother me but there is some wining noise from the unit. I usually forget it exists after some time.Fan is loud but not ridiculous. It is definitely quieter than a range hood and my air purifier.

I love induction cooking. I have a NuWave Pic also, but was unhappy with their business practices. The NuWave cooktop is fine, but when I wanted to purchase another through the website, I realized that the costs for shipping would be really high for the so-called "free" stuff. So, I went with the Duxtop. I wanted the extra wattage and larger induction surface anyway. This is a wonderful product and is more precise than the NuWave. It does have a little different learning curve, but that is really not an issue nor a deal breaker. My electric range is next to useless because of the fluctuations in temperature. You do not get this with the Duxtop. The heating is much more even than traditional electric, does not throw off excess heat, food does not burn on the surface if spilled and cooks very quickly. It takes a bit of getting used to the speed of cooking and will take a little experimentation to get things right, but it is worth it. Now I do not need to use my electric range at all. With the two induction surfaces, I can prepare whole meals for my husband and myself easily.Of course, as other reviewers have stated, you must be sure that you have the proper pots and pans. It is easy to test this by using a magnet. If it sticks to the bottom of the pan securely, it should work just fine. All of my magnetic pots and pans work really well. You can use certain stainless steel (must say induction on the box), cast iron, enameled cast iron, carbon steel, graniteware and various types of ceramic coated (again must state for induction on the box).The thickness of the cookware is of vital importance. It takes longer to cook with cast iron and you have to be certain that the whole surface is properly heated or you may wind up with hot spots. The graniteware is thinner and heats much faster. You can very easily burn your food with these. There are also certain ceramic coated pans of various thickness that work well for frying, etc. It is important to understand the ways the pans of varying thickness heat up. Good rule of thumb, the thicker the metal, the longer it will take to heat the surface. If you need really high heat for anything, I would say cast iron would be the best. Depending on what I am preparing, I make use of all of these various types of cookware.At any rate, the Duxtop is an excellent induction cooktop, and I highly recommend it. I also recommend Lafraise, the Amazon company through whom I purchased the unit. They are a very dependable company, send out the product quickly and package it well. They also follow up with the order which I really appreciate. Great purchase all around.

Very happy with product. It works ! The top and around cooking pot is not hot. You can safely clean around. I started with low temp then gradually set to 8 and 400 for temp
