Cooking by way of induction is faster, safer, cleaner and more energy-efficient than any other cooking technology. The cooktop is only activated once an induction-ready pot or pan is placed on the surface and the cooktop surface remains cool creating the safest and most efficient cooking experience. Adjust the temperature using the precise control knob located at the front of the unit. Powered by 1800 watts and up to 3 hours of timed cooking, this Induction Cooktop is perfect for everyday use. Check if your pots are induction compatible with the induction tester included. See less
