(More customer reviews)I've bought this induction cooktop as I was thinking about installing a natural gas generator indoors. I said why not, since water heater, furnace and my dryer all use gas. In doing research, I've discovered unhealthy side effects of cooking with gas due to chemicals in what I thought was a "clean" burning gas. They recommend running the exhaust fan when using gas to cook. I bought this burner on impulse; long story short, I'm blown away.
My little experiment. Took 2 quarts of 50 degF tap water, filled in identical Cuisinart Multiclad pro 3qt pots. Gas stove against the induction cooktop, thought it was going to be a blowout with gas taking cake. Induction burner on high and gas was on medium high that the flame was starting to lick the outside of the pot. It took the Max Burton 11 minutes to bring the pot to a roaring boil, stove....very long 24 minutes. I've also took temperature measurements along the way, using my trusty instant read thermometer. This will be a time saver for me!
I like the instant setting changes and immediate response by the pot. This also has temperature setting, you can set the cooktop anywhere from 140 to 450 degF, no guessing here if you want to simmer all day. Very energy efficient. Perhaps I'm going to give some thought to replacing practically new gas range to induction after this experiment.
I've heard about plastic case cracks, so I've spent a bit more and went with the stainless steel model. Since I have induction ready cookware, I don't intend to use the insert, except when I need to use non-stick pan (which is not very often). Fan noise is definitely audible, like a large tower computer noise, but definitely much less than a hair dryer. I can still have a normal conversation while cooking.
I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to expedite cooking, easy clean up, and versatility controls via 1-10 setting or 140-450 degF setting. I'm going to get another one after a week or so. Yes, I'm an engineer...home experiments interests me especially when I encounter unexpected surprises.
Update after 1-month use: I find the temperature setting much more effective. Settings are a bit coarse if one uses power setting or temperature setting exclusively, but may find the combination acceptable. All day cooking is not possible, as the cookware automatically shuts after about three hours. Yes, I made good on my original review; ordered the second unit today.
