    Reviews state not good for low heat - simmering. A problem with most basic induction cookers.

    • solacens on 18/04/2025 - 22:38

      I can confirm that. Luckily I got an Instant Pot to assist.

        Yes, slow & pressure cookers are great. Tradition way to get great flavour from cheap ingredients. Use those for stocks, soups & casseroles.

        Induction cookers have their use - fast cooking.
        Bought a Spotlight one for $25 (with voucher) years ago. In use every day since.
        Learnt very quickly its not for simmering.
        But the price was right.

        *Use heavy cast iron cookware to even out highs & lows of temperature for simmering.

    Like most portable induction units, the coil is very small. With only 5 settings it's very hard to control temps - but if the 400w is truly 400w (not cycling 0 & 1000w) it could be useful for use with an inverter.

    • solacens on 18/04/2025 - 22:40
      +5

      Usually for basic models, lower than 1000W is controlled by turn on/off with specific timeframe. Not friendly for cooking something like milk.

    I've got a similar Tefal portable induction stove. Would not recommend to anyone wanting to do serious cooking. 1) coils in these are in a small spot so your pots burn over time 2) food in pan does not get cooked evenly 3) low heat setting is coil is off for a longer duration in the intervals. When on its in the usual heat. 4) it has a mind of it own to decide what pots to accept. Thought it should meet the circumference, but no seems like there is other criteria.

      It’s all about magnetism and how flat and level the base is. Try a cast iron pot or pan and see if it makes a difference. Die cast aluminium pots with sandwiched metal base warp and do not have 100% contact with the coils and cause the glitches. Cheapest and heaviest magnetic pans far outperforms branded names with suss metal base.

      • INFIDEL on 18/04/2025 - 23:27

        Yes. Found heavy cast iron pans even out the on-off cycling issues at simmering temperature.
        Been using cast iron on cheap induction cook top for about 10 years.

          Cast iron is not that magnetic.
          The more magnetic your pot is, the quicker the induction cooktop will heat the pan. Stick a magnet on it and check the magnetic strength of your cookware

            @diceman99: Hub? That's bs. Cast iron pans are fantastic on induction. Only difference is they take longer to heat up than thin stainless and hold onto heat.

            @diceman99:

            The more magnetic your pot is, the quicker the induction cooktop will heat the pan.

            And the more mass your pot has the longer it takes to warm up.

            Cast iron is magnetic but also heavy so it takes more energy and time to heat up.

            Because of the thermal mass it also stays warm for longer and that's why it's useful on cheap induction units compared to a cheap aluminium pan with a thin layer of steel in it

            @diceman99: No pots are magnetic (well none I have ever come across) - they could have more or less ferrous material. It's the coil in the induction cooker that creates the magnetic field.

            • diceman99 on 19/04/2025 - 19:12

              @bargainshooter: Correct. I should have said " The more your pot reacts to a magnetic field" That is it's easy to check how well your pots will be at an induction cooktop. Place a magnet on your pot. The pots with the strongest reaction to to the magnet will also be the pots which will absorb more energy provided by the flipping magnetic field.
              Looks like a low carbon iron pot might be the best type. Yes also a thick base is best to even out the heat.
              Here's a more detailed explanation:
              High Iron Content:
              Cast iron's strong magnetism is a result of its high percentage of iron, which is inherently magnetic.
              Carbon's Role:
              The presence of carbon in cast iron can affect its magnetism, with higher carbon content leading to weaker or no magnetism, especially in gray, malleable, and ductile cast iron.
              Steel vs. Cast Iron:
              Steel's lower carbon content generally makes it more magnetic than cast iron.

            Sure you aren't confusing with issue with some stainless steel cookware??
            Never had cast iron cookware not work!

            Some stainless steel don't work on induction! (Those barely hold a magnet.) That's where a magnet is handy to determine if it will work! Some of mine failed, so are no longer used.

            Have you tried using a magnet on cast iron cookware??
            I've got a collection. All mine strongly hold a magnet. Even the enamel cast iron casserole dishes.
            Same with the stainless steel pots I use.

            Of course non-ferrous metals like aluminum won't work with induction.

            In Deals for Moka Pots - I warn they may not work on induction (some are aluminium). I use a camping gas stove in that case, & when making Turkish coffee.

            Been using induction cookers here & Japan for over a decade.

            Cast iron works great on induction stoves, improving simmering. I use suitable stainless steel pots to quickly heat & boil.

      • Whiplash on 19/04/2025 - 14:39

        mild carbon steel pans are also excellent if you don't like the density of cast iron.

      The Tokit pro with 99 settings is incredible for low heat cooking. True low power settings. Coil is still too small.

      • Maccadoodle on 19/04/2025 - 14:40

        Will it simmer? I bought an Ikea and the cycling was awful At low settings full out bol to nothing over and over so if you want low temps forget it.

  • soyea on 18/04/2025 - 21:23

    All said and done these units are a good starting point for people who are still trying to dip their toes into induction cooking. I think the benefits of these units over gas is quick and even cooking for the area covered. As far as radiant cooking like old school hot plates, these are miles ahead.

    That said if you are into wok cooking there is no substitute to a gas burner doing at least 70+MJ/h

      Connect it to a watt meter and you'll find it just cycles between 0 and 1000 watt on the lower settings. That's not great control. If this one does true 400w it's a better option. But I have no idea.

      • twig on 19/04/2025 - 05:30

    I have been going deep on induction, having used one with a 19cm coil size and found it really did put a hotspot on my 30cm (23.5cm base) stainless steel pan. Coil size really matters, centre of the pan started burning food and turning oil brown.

    20.3cm coil size is the biggest non-commercial ones i found (Nuwave, Xiaomi, Tokit) but hard to confirm with certainty (and if the 1cm makes all the difference). I wish I could use commercial ones which easily have larger coil sizes but they need 15A power source.

    • bargainshooter on 19/04/2025 - 01:04

      Which one has a 19cm coil? My tokit pro coil is 14cm. The xiaomi 9 "gear" models have small coils as well. There's a xiaomi with 99 levels and two independent coils (can turn each on/off via app) but I can't find coil size specs.

      15a units can be used on 10a outlets with approved adaptors as long as you don't go max heat.

      • oneblackpaper on 19/04/2025 - 07:32
        +1

        It was an old Midea model i borrowed. I was told it has 19cm coil size but he could be wrong. Looking back it might have been a bit smaller, reflecting on the hotspot on the pan.

        If 15A can be used with an adaptor then I might go that direction. I don’t see myself using max heat, the Midea was so damn strong, I barely needed to go beyond 130-160 to sear cubes of beef. Any higher and the beef would burn or the oil smokes like crazy.

        • bargainshooter on 19/04/2025 - 15:32

      • bargainshooter on 19/04/2025 - 15:26

        Tokit and Tokit pro don't cycle - they do but at very high frequency and at low wattage - my watt meter sits below 260w on the lowest setting, small increases as you increase setting. The Pro has very good low power control.

      there is another model above that one, for about $150 has a sensor that touched the pot , i have it but the display is in chinese as it seems to have more than just power settings ( beside power level ) most of the cheap induction cookers the sensor is under the glass so doesn’t actually measure temperature of the pot, i also have a nuwave but they are very expensive but does simmer …..

    Anyone know of one that has an inverter built in for lower power..like many in here, the one we have just drops full power and then cycles back on, like the old school microwaves used.to.

    We use ours all the time but a better one with an inverter (that can ramp the watts up amd down) would be much nicer.

  • Datatemp on 19/04/2025 - 09:54

    How is this one in comparison, under $40 with free pickup is you have centre near you. I am in the market for one, was tossing between paying $40 for the Kings one or $29 (after $50 close to being expired Harvey Norman gift card for the Phillips, it would have been great if can get HN to price matching Amazon but Harvey Norman price matching is a joke; if they think it is below market price for the item then it is a NO).
