As soon as I received this, I plugged it in, and tried it out, right out of the box. First, thawing, and browning ground beef on a Field cast iron skillet. No burning, even heat, and even browning. I then added some veggies, and simmered. Again, no burning, nice veggies, no issues. I cranked it up to biol pasta. I set it first to 250, and it rolled the boil. Set to 220, still boiled. 200, below boil, so, it is fairly accurate, without temping it. Just cooking. I used the noodles to make a stove top mac, n cheese with a mix of deli American, and 3 cheese Mexican. Melted nicely on 80, melted and mixed, NO BURNT cheese, or noodles. I will sear meat next, however, so far, I can control the temp just like I would over gas, and even get lower than my gas stove. Great buy. Expensive, but will suit me well.
22JAN23 - Next day, I reheated the leftovers from last night, including the Mac n cheese. Reheated to 160, and then held it at that temp for 3 hours. no burning, or dried out food. (I did have the lid on). This was in a Field #8 cast iron pan with lid. No scratching, perfect temp.
I have another less expensive induction top that I was using to travel with, and even at a low setting (not "warm" mode) I would still get burnt dried out food, if left on there, and never could get mac 'n cheese to melt well without pulling the pan. The cycling from max to off was how that induction top maintained temp. This one is steady, and a lot quieter. I love this thing!, next best top to gas cooking.
There is a bag you will see at Home 2 Suites, and others that are for the Mirage Cadet. This cooktop neatly fits in that bag with a shallow pan. (De Buyer MINERAL B omelet pan. ) This will go with me when on the road from now on! worth the extra money IMHO. The bag is not on Amazon, but you can get it from KaTom, who sells the cooker.

Expensive work horse
This is the third purchase of the same one. The first one lasted about 2 years and the second one is still going strong. We decided to purchase another one for my uncle’a business and it makes it easy if it’s the same model. We hope this will last more than 2 years.The controls are easy and the display is big enough for the eyes. As some mention the temperate is not accurate, it is something we don’t pay attention to. We use the number as a baseline and keep an eye on it.We mainly use it for eggs and bacon and health inspection is ok with this because it is not open flame.The price of this has risen quite a bit over the years so that’s why I don’t think it deserves 4-5 stars.
