Combine with $5 topcashback challenge, 3x everyday reward points and an additional $10 with code boxing if you shop above $75. I got the Stone Magic Black Ceramic Marble Coated Cookware Frypan Set/non-stick Coating for $44.10. Planning to use this during sunny days to fuly utilise my solar panel.
Thanks i have updated the title. Use topcashback to bring it down to $40
I've had this model for about a year (bought from Amazon). Has been a fantastic cooker!
For reference:
"Low flame" ~= 400W
"Medium flame" ~=1000W
"High flame" ~=1600W
Does this one buzz when not cooking?
Recently returned one that emitted a pre-start buzz, was annoying
Did you check for bees?
Free honey? Bargain.
No buzzing when not cooking to report!
do these still do the annoying turn on for 1 second and then off for 10 seconds as "low" flame? it was really annoying haha
Yes, they cycle between on and off states - I believe that's how most induction setups work(?).
yep, only the inbuilt ones don't cycle at low temperatures. was hoping to find a good quality portable one for that
I have no idea how people can cook on these: it boils, it doesn't, it boils, it doesn't; it sizzles, it doesn't, it sizzles, it doesn't…
Downvotes suggest it's not an issue to some.
Well, sure I can boil a pot of water on it, but I can't cook like that. These devices usually can't sustain continous power to simmer. You experience this less often on a proper induction stove.
How's the fan sound level?
Noticeable, but not terrible. Probably in line with your average range hood fan on a low setting.
Why do induction cooker makers make it so hard to find the magnet size. These are useless if they aren't sized adequately for your cookware.
the magnet size
It's a coil, or just a hob/"burner".
There's magnetic field, but no magnets inside.
Also the size may not matter as much as in gas or electric appliances - there will be no exposed hot parts or loss of heat, if it's the concern.
The size is critical actually otherwise your pans will warp and heat up unevenly.
Do they work for cast iron?
Yes.
Mine says $45 and it’s only free shipping for selected areas.
