La.mejor compra que puedas hacer en una hornilla de inducción

At first I thought the unit was defective. It was shutting down towards the end of the canning cycle. I tried it twice and finally reached out to Duxtop. They were very responsive and explained that the cooktop will shut down after two hours if you don't use the cooktop timer. The third time I used the canner I set the cooktop timer and it worked perfectly. The cooktop is heavy duty and handles the canners weight. My element stove top would struggle. It's nice that it stays cool and it seem that without the extra heat from an element the entire canning process was cooler and more efficient. The main purpose of this cooktop was for canning but I've tried frying some eggs in a cast iron pan and it worked great. It seemed like the pan heated up much faster than a conventional element and the heat was easily controlled. The only noise from the cooktop is the fan, which isn't too loud. I couldn't hear any high pitch noise that I've read about in other reviews but I know some people can hear higher frequencies than others. This was a good purchase for my purposes and I'm sure I will use it a lot.

There is an old expression that one would use to praise another one's actions or performance that went: "Now you're cooking with gas!" Well, that needs to be updated to "Now you're cooking with induction!"Seriously, I have been eyeing this particular Duxtop model for some time, and induction countertop burners in general for some number of years. I've looked at them in person and online, and finally decided to purchase this Duxtop commercial model. I have had it now for a little over a week, and I find myself using it daily, and even going out of my way to use it over my "high performance" GE Profile Dual Fuel Range. My range has a gas cooktop that has been good, but I have always wanted to try induction. This Duxtop commercial model outperforms even my high output burner on my range. Boiling water is a snap, whether for a pot of coffee, or a big pot of pasta; melting butter, or clarifying butter, frying and sautéeing, cooking slowly, keeping food warm, this Duxtop is simply a dream come true.The unit itself is very well built. The cabinet is stainless steel, the cooktop itself is thick black glass, and the touch controls are sensitive and responsive. There are quick-start buttons, and three quick keystrokes get you cooking in a jiffy. You can select between "power levels" 0.5 (Very Low) to 10 (High), and you can alternately shift to temperature mode. Temperature mode seems to be pretty accurate; I have set the temperatures to varying levels for different foods to hold at 140°, 180°, 200°,, and each time, I fitted the pot with two separate probe thermometers on opposite sides of the pan. In each case, I used either water, or a dense vegetable soup with chickpeas. In all cases, the Duxtop warmed the contents of the pan evenly, and held the contents at the preset temperatures, with a little variation of about ten degrees on either side, as the burner cycled on and off. I found this variation to be totally acceptable, and my next step will be to attempt deep frying. I have used this for pressure cooking dried legumes, regular boiling for pastas, soups, coffee, tea, etc., simmering and slow-cooking soups, sautéeing, and shallow frying... all results have really been to absolute perfection.Cookware to be used with an induction cooktop must be made of ferrous metal, e.g. iron, cast iron (Lodge, Wagner, Le Creuset, Staub, etc.), stainless steel to which a magnet will stick (many brands such as All-Clad, Cuisinart, Viking). It will NOT work with cookware made from ceramic, Pyrex, Corningware, aluminum, copper. The best way to test your cookware is to take a standard kitchen magnet, and test the bottoms of your cookware. If the magnet sticks, you're good to go; if not, then reserve that for your stove. Speaking of cast iron, and this Duxtop commercial model, this particular model can withstand a total weight capacity of sixty-five (65) pounds! This model is, as I said, well built, heavy for its size, and very, very stable on the countertop.I shall give updates, if I find them necessary, as to continued performance and longevity, but it is my instinct that this is one of the best choices I have ever made in terms of having a good, high quality accessory burner to supplement my stove. If I had to voice a regret, it would only be that I should not have waited this long to make this purchase. It is well worth the money! As a matter of fact, I am going to order another one soon. You can buy this with confidence.MARCH 2021: THIRTEEN MONTH IN-SERVICE UPDATE:Performance is just as excellent thirteen months later as the first day I plugged it in and put into service. I literally use this Duxtop Portable Induction Cooktop every single day. From boiling water for coffee or tea, to sauté or simmer, or frying, this appliance is tops!

I have a $700 Vollrath Mirage Pro 59510P. This unit is 90 percent as good as the Vollrath for 1/4 the price.The Vollrath has 100 power level settings versus 20 on this one. 20 is twice as many as most induction cooktops. This is good.When the temperature control is set to 300 degrees, there is very little variation. The most I saw was -10 to +5, 290 degrees to 305 degrees. Using an infrared thermometer directly on the bottom of the pan. On the low end of the scale, it seems to run a few degrees warm. On the high end using a dutch oven, With two quarts of oil in it, it seemed to run on the cold side. About 40 degrees low. As far as induction goes, this seems to be far better than average. I had a Newwave pro that I replaced with this Duxtop. With the Newwave pro, the temperature varied by 100 degrees below what I had it set at or it was 100 degrees above it. It was either not cooking or burning up the food. I hated using it.The temperature settings go from 120 degrees to 460 degrees. This is better than most.The only con I can find with it is the temperature settings are in 20 degree increments. Ten degrees would be better. But you're not going to find anything that precise without spending 700 dollars or more.The learning curve on this Duxktop Is rather short. There is a slight variation between pans and the amount of oil you have in them. But you will figure it out quickly. It's nothing like that Newwave Pro that I had, that cooked differently every single time you used it.Duxtop makes a consumer version of this unit, which costs about 95 dollars. I recommend that you spend the extra money and buy this one. This one is more sturdy and supports considerably more weight.The controls are very easy to use. But there's one thing I really don't care for once you hit the lock button. The only way to make a change is to turn the unit completely off.In summation, I have used induction for several years. Unless you get a bad unit, I am sure that you will be very pleased with this Duxtop. Like I said at the beginning, it is 90 percent as good as the Volrath Mirage Pro.

This a great product. Works better than I thought it would. Cooks very fast and no mess. Most everything cooks the best on medium. Easy to clean.
