Duxtop 1800W Electric Induction Cooktop - Portable, Easy to Use Kitchen Appliance

Barbara Grodaes: Ordered this product. It came when they said. It was as ordered. It wouldn’t work with the copper bottom coffee pot so we had to send back and process was easy. It was very nice so we considered what else we could use for but are downsizing. Thanks

HobbyLearning: The induction technology is another aspect that impressed me. The cooktop heats up quickly and provides precise temperature control. I appreciate the efficiency and responsiveness of induction cooking, allowing me to adjust the heat instantly. It also cooks food evenly, which is essential for achieving great results in the kitchen.

The design of the Duxtop 1800W Portable Induction Cooktop is sleek and modern. The gold finish adds a touch of elegance, making it visually appealing. The control panel is intuitive and easy to navigate, allowing me to select the desired temperature or power level with ease. I also like the built-in safety features, such as the auto-pan detection and overheat protection, which provide peace of mind while cooking.

However, there are a couple of areas where I think the product could be improved. Firstly, the power cord is a bit short, which limits the placement options and may require the use of an extension cord. Additionally, the fan noise can be a bit loud, especially when cooking at higher temperatures. It's not a dealbreaker, but it would be nice if the fan noise was reduced for a quieter cooking experience.

Brad Power: I bought this product because my standard rental unit stove takes too long to heat up my pots, especially for cooking pasta, tomato sauce and soups.

PROS:

Induction Cookware

You may not need induction cookware to use this product. The metal needed to work with this just needs to have magnetic properties. Basically, will a magnetic stick to the base of the pot? I have an 10-year old steel pot from Kitchen Stuff Plus that works perfectly with it but if you want peace of mind or don't have cookware yet, just go ahead of get the cookware that is specifically designed for Induction.

The device will tell you if the pot is induction compatible as well. If you turn this device on without a pot sitting on it, it beeps until you put one on it. If a pot/pan is not induction compatible it will beep all the same with a code. The instruction manual has a list of these codes and one of them tells you if a pot is induction friendly or not. I put a t-fal pot on it and sure enough it kept beeping and the code said it's not induction compatible.

Teez: Hi.

I received my Cook-top in four days, which was great. It arrived without issue and worked properly out of the box. The top is made of glass except for the control panel which is some sort of rigid plastic integrating the touch pad controls. The base is all plastic with four small rubber stops. The power cord is hefty to support the 1800 Watt rating. A serial-number label is stuck on the outside of the box that it came in, but I am unable to find its matching label on my Duxtop unit itself. There is no label on the exterior of the unit at all for that matter, and suspect that the label must be stuck somewhere on the interior of the unit.

I purchased the Duxtop to use it mostly outside during the hottest summer days, to prevent unnecessary warming of my house. I will use it to boil water for corn, and other lengthy type cooking during the summer. My outdoor BBQ does not have any build in cook-top on its side tablets, so I plan to sit it on either side when I use it to cook. As other reviewers mentioned, I will also use it as a fifth indoor cook-top element if/when needed.

I already owned a set of German made stainless steel pots (set of four), with thick...

Lee G: I have only had it a week, I found a favorite stainless pan that works wonderfully, So I fixed the handle to it. I tried mac & cheese, the water boils quickly, I spilled some food on the cook top, but it was cold, so it wiped away.
I have always appreciated electric frying pans, they hold a lot of food, & they have temperature control, So cooking with this induction over is not much different, because I tell it the temperature, & it always cooks it right. I made a couple eggs so far.
I use the @2 setting to toast the bread in the pan with butter, & add ham & cheese & cook the egg, then I put the egg on the bread, . I love the resturant style, because they always taste better that way. I tried the temperature setting, but with eggs & sandwiches, the pan gets too hot, too fast, before the temperature gets regulated, but with larger dishes, I prefer the temperature control better.
If the butter burns the bottom black, on the carbon steel pan, that is a good quality, that makes the pan slippery, & the eggs won stick. I also tried sausage in the pan, & if you burn the sausage to the pan, just splash about two teaspoons of water in the pan...

C. Dutoit: I swear by gas stoves. Wouldn't buy a house that didn't have gas. It was my ONLY show-stopper condition when we were house shopping. I was flexible on everything but that.

I cooked A LOT. The only reason I bought an induction cooktop was because I wore out both sides of the inserts on my [brand name] gas cooktop (they rusted to bits from constant use) and since I wanted time before I decided what my replacement would be, I ordered one of these to tide us over. We had the grill insert, so with one "burner" and a double grill, I'd have time to think.

I was shocked at how great the Duxtop induction cooktop was. I was a tough sell, but they won me over.

Water (for pasta) came to boil faster than my gas stove ever did. Peanut oil, for frying chicken, was also ready faster than anything I'd ever experienced with gas, and it stayed hot (I burned the first batch!). It has also been marvelous for wok cooking, and that's what made me a total convert. I've had to learn how to cook with it, but that hasn't been too difficult, since the results have been worth it.

The heat is so hot that I ruined a wok with a non-stick coating and had to go for the old-fashioned,...
