induction cooktop is perfect for hotpot indoor. I used for hotpot regularly. heat up fast and no worry of carbon dioxide. If you feel not heating up well, then it is your pots issue. Get a cheap pot from Asian market instead of 5 ply All-clad. Some of those expensive pots do not work well with induction. But the cheap stainless steel one always work so well.

Free shipping is only available when buying on best buy's ebay store. Not available when buying on bestbuy.com as the price is under $35 (34.99) and 1 cent under the free shipping threshold.

Bought it last time. Overall it's fine. Heats up my cast iron pans very fast. Useful to do bacon or steaks outside. Main negative is that it seems to really crank up and then ease off, even when set to max, so I switch to temp mode and back to get it to crank back up often. Also, maybe this is the same with all induction, but using a bigger pan is somewhat pointless since it's amazing how focused the heat generation is.

I used this and a Duxtop one for 6 months while we didn't have gas.
It was a lifesaver, allowed me to cook dinner everyday while Coned took their time to fix the gas.

Quote from Danzilla :
All it says in the manual is
"Current 120V~ 60Hz",
which of course shows someone writing it doesn't actually understand current and voltage are not the same.
I'm guessing though it's only ~120V.
Yes. This means it only works in countries which uses 120 v only. Thanks for the info

Quote from hottie :
Is it a good idea to get the 2-Year Accidental Geek Squad Replacement for $9.99 ? Some reviews say that it stopped working after 15 days and they couldn't return it. Or just buy with Credit card that offer some extra warranty like the Citi Costco Visa ?
Standard 1 year warranty should be good enough. If you have credit card with extended warranty even better. $10 for betting on accidental is not worth it for the $35 spend

I've used these at some rental places. They heat up fast, but someones won't turn on if you use the wrong cook ware. Also the buzzing sounds it makes when heating is somewhat annoying. I have dual fuel (butane and propane) cooktop that I use for camping, which works very well.

I've been using portable induction for 20 years. None of the new ones work as well as the older units. Cheap controllers and the fans used these days are small and noisy. My Nuwave Titanium 1800 watt has 5 degree temperature adjustment and works great with the correct cookware. Large quiet fan. It will hold temperature at and below simmer. Nuwave Double is the best portable on the market today but hard to find in stock. Large fans very well built.

Cookware that I know works well: (1) inner pot from Instant Pot Duo Evo Plus, (2) Staub enameled cast iron fry pay 9" / 24 cm, (3) Demeyere Atlantis 2 and 3 qt sauce pans ( the best ). All-Clad D7 ( nla Don't waste your time with D3 or D5 ). (4) Le Creuset 4-1/2 qt 24 cm dutch oven but you will get discoloration inside eventually if you use high heat.

Cast iron heats fast but does not spread heat well. That's why you don't want to go over 24 cm bottom. Staub 24 cm fry pan seems to work the best from eggs to searing due to its thick flat bottom

Quote from Aogen :
Good for outdoor steak searing? Don't wanna stink the house up
An 1800 w PIC should absolutely sear with the correct pot. If it doesn't then return it. Beware of cheap models that just cycle on and off

Quote from TimTam42 :
If you want to use cast iron, you could get a heat diffuser on Amazon that would basically do the same thing as the disc does for regular cookware.
No! Don't use these. The PIC should work perfectly with a good 9" cast iron. If it doesn't then return it.

Quote from TowHead :
We use a real induction hob, it's preprogrammed with various levels that do not cycle on/off. I was curious about your comment, and according to the owners manual, each setting is wattage based - level 1 is 300w all the to level 8 1800w. This means a EU2000 generator ought to run this puppy at the campground - much cleaner than a grill or campstove.
PICS require clean generator power. They work well with any inverter gen 1800 w running or better. If this doesn't work for you and you can't fine a Nuwave Titanium then try the Gold which has been available for under $80. Or look for an old 1800 watt at a flea market.

You're not supposed to use any kind of extension with these, only plugged straight into the wall. We use ours outside but we have a few outdoor outlets.
There is no scientific reason why you cannot use extension cord. what can happen is your extension cord could be a thinner gauge than your house wire, yet you still run high power devices. Thinner gauge tends to get hot, and that's a fire hazard.
Your house circuit breakers are designed to trip at a certain current so your wire don't got too hot and burn down the surrounding material. However, with a thinner wire extension, your circuit breaker won't help you in this circumstances. But as long as your extension cord is the same rating as your house wiring, there is no reason you cannot use them

Scanpan HaptIQ 11" will work very well. $100 sometimes $80 at Macy's with cpn. It's a heavy 7 ply. A Staub 9" properly seasoned with avacado oil will bead water and become super slick. Eggs cooked on low will slide right. Decarbonize with kosher salt. Staub will last >20 years and won't warp.
