TI-2C 23 inch Portable Dual Induction Glass-Ceramic Cooktop, 1750W, UL1026 Certified

I purchased this cooktop over a year ago on amazon, but for various reasons, never used it until recently. We are in the middle of a major renovation, and have had no range for a month. This cooktop has saved our lives. I have cooked every meal on it and really given it a workout. I use my cast iron and cast enamel Le Creuset cookware and everything works beautifully. When you plug item in, it beeps but does not come on until you hit a button on whichever side you are using. Be aware that level 10 is the top level, but I have never had to go above 5 for a quick boil. Also, level 10 is the max for the entire cooktop: if one burner is on level 6, the max you can use on the other burner is 4. I start a burner on 5 and then adjust down after the pan is fully heated. I usually cook most items at 2 or 3 (except true frying). I just love this cooktop and now know that, even when my new range is installed, I will make room for this wonderful cooktop often. You can use this anywhere you have power, and it can be set to the exact temperature required in your recipe, i.e. 325; and, you have a timer up to 150 minutes so that you do not have to monitor cooking as often. Any pot which will hold a magnet will work with this cooktop - I happen to have inherited some wonderful cast iron cookware that is over 60 years old - every time I use them, I think lovingly of my grandmother. I cannot answer question about cast iron with ridges, but I am sure the company could address that. I have used a large griddle across both burners with success and ease. When you remove your pan, the unit automatically shuts off - lots of safety features. It is easy to clean, a dream to use, keeps my kitchen cool, and would be a wonderful addition for anyone who does entertaining and wants extra serving/warming/cooking options. And, this baby will be wonderful for the holidays, giving you so many extra options when you really need them. As you can tell, I LOVE this double cooktop, and NO, I do not work for the company (glad amazon confirms regular customers who have actually purchased a reviewed item). Hope this helps other people thinking of induction.

I researched the dickens out of this product before I bought it. I have serious asthma that I am trying to "cure" and decided to have my gas range turned off to see if it helped reduce my asthma attacks and as a side comment it did dramatically. Anyway at some point we'll need a new range and I wanted to try the new technology of an induction cooktop. This had the reviews I decided to go with and it lived up to all the manufacturer's claims as well as the positive comments I read in reviews. This wonderful cooktop performs brilliantly. I've never seen water heat so fast in my life, including with gas. It is immediately reactive to any changes you ask of it and I love that. As the family "chef" I fell in love with gas long ago because it was so responsive. So is this. I cooked Asian food on it and it is instantly responsive which you can see in the pan immediately. There is slight fan noise when it cooks, but then cooking is not a silent situation anyway. You'll still have your fan on overhead so I don't find that slight fan sound bothers me at all. It's actually very quiet for a fan sound. It's a handsome piece of kitchen ware, looks very good after you've cleaned it and seems quite sturdy leading me to believe I'll have this around for quite a few years. If you want to take induction cooking for a test drive, I'd highly recommend buying this. You can always use it for other occasions, or when you have lots of people coming over for the holidays and need extra burners. They'll flip over how easy it is to learn to use. I had it all figured out in the first meal I cooked so don't be afraid to try something new. This one's a piece of cake! Love it.

In order to save money we moved into an extension of a house that only had a kitchenette, so we needed a stove. Coming from years of using Gas stoves I was leery about going to an electric stovetop, and was intrigued by the induction option. I could get this and a nice toaster oven for much cheaper than a full range, and it would be perfect for my wife and I. The unit looks GREAT! it's low profile makes it easy to just leave on the counter and use it like a countertop. The black glass top is super easy to clean too! The touch controls are easy to use and simple to understand, but can be touchy when trying to clean. When I wipe down the top I usually turn one or both tops on. Luckily with the induction idea, nothing heats up if you turn it on accidentally. Some reviews comment on the internal fan, which is noticeable, but not annoying to me. Its not as loud as a low speed vent fan, and usually drowns out in the sound of sizzling food. The unit can only handle a combined power setting of 10; so one side at 10 and the other off, One at 5 and the other at 5, one at 7 and one at 3, etc. one time I was trying to boil corn and cook chicken and found this limit restraining, but I managed to keep the water boiling at 7 and the chicken simmering at 3. At the lowest power settings the unit still makes some good heat, so we have had to address some recipes with more liquid or shorter cook time. Also you can't use any non-ferrous pans on these, so make sure you don't have all aluminum. I had to buy a stainless steel skillet to use in lieu of all my aluminum non-sticks. Now, you won't be boiling water in 90 seconds like some ads say for induction (unless you only need a half a cup). But it does heat fast. I had a pan of oil (maybe 0.5" deep) ready to fry some home made chips within 2 minutes. I can start frying bacon in 30 seconds or less! It is awesome! About the only thing that gets annoying is when I make Crepes and am swirling the batter in the pan, the auto off feature beeps at me and regularly shuts off my "burner" before I return the pan. I would highly recommend this stovetop for an everyday kitchen or for additional cook space! I have been using it for over 3 months with no issues!

The induction heater does heat water fast! I just wish I could control the temperature on both burners easier. You have to lower the temperature on one to raise on the other. The manual does say that. If you are going to simmer soups and sauces, use the level setting. 1 - 10 or 1- 5 if using two burners. I found the number setting to be best for simmering. Not 100% sure at this time. It takes awhile to get use to using. I only purchased it for additional burners, not for outdoor use which it can be use for such. However it is very good. I does have a lot of power. I had another small appliance on the same circuit and it tripped the breaker. I do have a 20 amp circuit with only a few outlets on it, it still tripped!

I have been using induction cooking exclusively now for about 4 years. I started with a single burner unit when I was traveling a lot for work so that I could cook healthier simple meals at whatever hotel I was staying rather than eating in restaurants all the time. As the author of several cookbooks, I require a cooktop that is responsive and versatile. I invested in this wonderful Induction double burner to replace the electric burners in my home several years ago and have never looked back. The cooktop still works great nearly 3 years later. A few of the indicator lights on one of the burners have burnt out but that doesn't affect the quality or ability of this cooktop to make delicious gourmet meals. I like that it has 10 settings and two burners. It heats food up quickly and is versatile enough for simmering sauces on low or searing meat on high heat. This model is also portable and would make a great addition to an RV kitchen. Highly recommend.

I bought this to test out whether I wanted to buy an induction range when I had my kitchen remodeled. It has worked perfectly since I first plugged it in (months ago) and I expect to get continued service from it. I had enough pots and pans already that are magnetic, so I was able to give it a good test. My kitchen still hasn't been remodeled and I love this cook top so much that I'm still using it daily. have purchased a new induction range (Maytag) and it's stored in my garage while I patiently wait for my renovation team to get started. This wait has been good because I discovered that I could also get along well with a very small refrigerator (had a dorm frig for the first 6 months) and have replaced it with a beautiful 10.6 cu ft LG refrigerator which is counter depth and 23" wide but very tall! It is working out perfectly. If my renovation teams delays much longer I may just swap out the induction range for the very, very old gas one and just live simply in my 1905 house with its 50's style kitchen. I do love this cook top, though, and will continue to use it. During the summer months here in the Midwest, I use it on my deck along with my portable oven so I can keep cooking without heating up the house.

I bought this 2 burner induction cooktop for my home in Miami, because I have been using very happily my Aroma induction cooktops in my other home in CT since 7 years and still very happily use it without a single problem. I like to do fine cooking and the timer and other precision settings are very helpful, especially when cooking different items at the same time. This one was looking fine and worked fine at the beginning, even though the digital buttons could be improved and, especially, a general ON/OFF switch is indispensable IMO, as a safety and in order to clean the surface without triggering the appliance to start inappropriately. Now, after only 8 months, it stopped working and acts funny. Probably a faulty electronic component as it goes on and off like a blinking signal. Totally unacceptable !!!
