This Countertop Burners give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Boils 2 qts cold water in < 10 min
I just picked this up last night from a very popular membership warehouse for <50 bucks. As soon as I got it home, I unpacked it and plugged it in. I filled my graduated stainless Pyrex pot up to the 2 qt line with cold tap water. I covered the pot with its glass lid and turned the hot plate on. I set it to the max setting of six and checked the time, 9:15. Through the glass lid, I could see bubbles forming within the first minute. By most peoples' definition of boiling, it was boiling within 8 minutes. I then pulled the lid and continued to observe. By 9:25, it was a full-on rolling boil - the kind that spits water everywhere if left uncovered.
The second picture that Amazon shows with the boiling pot surrounded by ice cubes was totally my experience. As the water was furiously boiling away, the surrounding glass felt cool to my touch.
I also tested the lower temp settings. When choosing settings 1-5, the device simply cycles the heat on and off. The output...
2. This Technology is Great!
This cooktop is great!
- Cooks well with all the pans in the inexpensive try-ply stainless steel cookware set I picked up at W. Mart.
- Heats the pans quickly and so far has done just as well as the stove for cooking eggs, grilled sandwiches, rice and veggies. Boils water for tea/coffee as fast as my electric kettle.
- The controls are dead-simple, the built in timer is useful, and it's easy to clean.
- The pan-detect and auto-shutoff are good safety features - reduces energy waste and now I don't have to worry about accidentally burning down the house.
- The fan does make a bit of noise [like any fan does] but it isn't noticeable over the stereo or t.v. There is also an electric "buzz" when the pan is being heated, but again, it's not distracting.
- Would be a great choice for those in dorms or studio apartments, or for single-folk and couples.
Most of the negative reviews I've read for these machines have been from people who seem to not have...

2nd Day Testing
Ok, to start with, when you hit the power button and a setting, 1-6, and it's beeping that means the pan isn't going to work and you have to do the magnet test to find one that does or use a diffuser disk or interface disk, read further down on that. Also, this has a fan and it's as loud as my microwave. I tested both with the App Noise Meter. This unit ran at an average of 39db while the microwave was 38.5db. They're both fan sounds and I tend to tune those out so no biggie for me.
I'm using a Lodge Logic L9OG3 10.5" Griddle as my diffuser for the non-magnetic cookware. The Lodge Logic is a lot cheaper than the specialized disk they sell and it's a griddle. I can also use my burner plates as a diffuser. I think they're the Nordic Ware brand but could be another brand that's magnet friendly. Of course the draw back on the burner plate covers is there's no handle so you have let them cool before removing. Additionally, the Imusa Preseasoned Cast Iron Comal should work...
