Plaque de cuisson à induction VBGK 12 pouces à 2 foyers, 110V 2300W avec commande tactile LED, 9 niveaux de puissance et sécurité enfant pour cuisine domestique

This review is for the single induction cooker 1200W. I clarify that as this Amazon site shows multiple products.We already had an 1800W cooker of a different brand, but we wanted a 2nd one to have at our lake house. Induction cookers can be handy.What you get with this is:**** The appliance itself**** A silicone cover (we are not sure what this does)**** A sheet showing you how to test your pans**** A magnet to check pans, to see if they are induction heatable**** A manual. Sadly we misplaced this almost immediately. We have been looking for it.Lucky for us this cooktop is easy to use and despite not having the manual we were fine.Our first use of it was with an induction frying pan that was fairly large. We noted that since the frying pan was bigger than the 8�� induction ring, items that extended beyond that were not getting as rapidly cooked. This would be true for any induction burner however. Most are 8�� just like this one (I checked).However at this time we noted we did mar the top surface the induction burner. Not sure if it was the pan, or stuff stuck between the pan and the burner that did it. But I have been unable to clean it off. You will see it in the photos.Later since we have a 1800W induction cooktop as well we wanted to see if there was a big difference between the two. First of all the fan noise is a bit louder on the1200W system than the 1800W, but only slightly.We did a pretty involved way of testing the two. As we are both from technical backgrounds, we also wanted to know for our purposes what works best..We took an induction pan of 5-?�� diameter and filled it with 2 cups of ~65 deg F. water (64-67 deg). We used an instant read thermometer to verify tempsPut it on first the 1800W burner and timed it.Then did the same on the 1200W burner (We cooled the pan, between tests).We took the water to 210 deg F. in both.1800W induction cooker took 3 minutes1200W induction cooker took 3:19 minutes.Being the geeks we are we couldn��t stop there.We used a metal flat ring (so you can use non-induction pans on an induction burner) and repeated this test. We used the same diameter non-induction panOn the 1800W burner it took 11:50 minutes. We did not during the boil that there were some hot spots as well.Then we were wondering if we were saving time, or just pans by using an induction system with non-induction pan, so we tried it on our smooth top GE range using the smallest burner of the PowerBoil set (12��, 8��, 6��) GE says 3600, but likely 1200W for the 6�� burner.The electric stove took only 6:25 minutes.Further checking, we put a measuring cup into a 1000W microwave and this same amount of water took 4:40 to get to 210.Seeing if a pan size mattered we grabbed a large frying pan 12�� on top, 9�� on bottom, and it took on the 1800 Watt induction cooker 3:15 to boil, but to be fair the water was at 71 degrees to start and this 210 temp was not even throughout the pan. We were just curious of more flat surface area was better or worse. As this was bigger than the induction ring, it was not advantageous.So after all of our playing around with these, we came to the conclusion.For our purposes, the 1200W is only slightly slower than the 1800W.Both are about 2X faster than my electric range.For just boiling the microwave is slower than induction pans, but faster than the stove. But not sure I would want to do sustained boiling in the microwave.Using the flat metal things on an induction burner basically is using the induction burner to heat up a plate, to stove like temps and then that heats your pan, so takes 4X longer.Pan size is a factor. Too big you rely on radiant heat, but it is doable if you move your food around.So in a nutshell this is a nice induction burner than I��m looking forward to using and we have educated ourselves on what works best.

Portable 1200W Induction Cooktop, October 2024Using this single burner induction cooktop is a joy. Pans heat up almost immediately and the stove cools down just as fast. The controls are simple and easy to use. I expect to use this much more than my regular stove. Translating the highs, mediums, and lows of typical recipes to the power levels on the induction stove will come with time. I like that the heat level can change as quickly as using a gas burner but without the open flames or health risks.At the default of 800w, butter melted almost immediately and as soon as it did, it was ready to fry an egg to perfection. Lower wattage would probably be a bit better just to slow down the process to something more manageable. At the highest heat when boiling water, bubbles appeared on the bottom of the pot almost immediately. While a large volume of water will still take some time to boil, it still takes a lot less time than on a hot burner.There's a magnet to ensure your pots and pans will work properly with an induction stove. They also include a round silicone mat to prevent anything from sticking to the burner, keep pans from slipping, and to make cleaning easier. I do wish the protector was bigger and will likely use a larger square one to make drips and splashes around the pan easier to clean.I'm looking forward to cooking with this induction stove.

I've always heard that induction cooking is fantastic, while this does heat up it doesn't get as hot as I would have expected. Tried with a cast-iron pan as well as a stainless steel pan and got better results from the stainless steel. Maybe user error but not sure I'd recommend.

I have been wanting to try induction cooking but was cautious based on differereing friends opinions. I chose this single portable induction cooktop from Weceleh to give the technology a try. I knew I had pans what would work on this device since most are allclad of similar design.The seller also provided a trivet that will prevent pans from scratching the glass surface.This cooktop is super thin, responsive and is easy to understand the buttons. I chose for my first test to boil water. My friend who has convection said hers ( a high end 6 burner cooktop ) will boil water in less than 3 minutes, for comparison. I found that this unit was not quite that powerful but did boil water in 4 minutes. Next I heated canned stew. This is thicker than soup to see if the heat was even and consistent. I found that based on ensuring the pan had a fully magnetic flat base, it did a good job. There was an area slightly smaller than the pan that seemed to heat more intensely than the outer 1��.The compact nature of this is my favorite feature. I consider a single burner to be a item used to cook for 1-2 people. This unit does seen have some limitations as far as pan size and capacity, in my opinion.If I was traveling by car cross country, staying in motels, I would take this with me to save money on meals when I didn��t want to go out. I would also be able to stay in hotels regardless of whether they had a mini kitchen.My rating based on the details above is 4.5 Stars. Based on expectations being set to use this for 1-2 people and not cooking with large pans for several people, I will round up to 5 Stars.

We don't fry food often in the winter, but in the summer we love to fry okra, squash, and fried green tomatoes as they come out of our garden. I loathe the smell in my house, as well as the mess it makes. This is perfect to take outside on the back deck and set on the patio table! All the smell and mess are outside. This works beautifully, heats quickly, kept my oil at temp, cools down super fast when turned off, and was very easy to clean. It handles most size pans. It will definitely come in hand for the holidays when 4 burners are often just not enough. Because it's has such a slim profile, it's easy to store. I think the price is fair for this kind of quality.
