ChangBERT Portable Induction Cooktop 208-240V 3200W NSF Certified Commercial Range Countertop Burner Pro Chef Professional Hot Plate High Power 18/10 Stainless Steel Housing Schott Glass

We bought a 208-volt model before, from another brand though. This one is 2nd one we bought. Comparing to the other one that featured 2 fans which was quite noisy, this one is pretty quiet. And it is more compact, freeing up space for other appliances.I highly recommend it if you are looking for sth fast cooking (240-volt). 110-volt models are enough for smaller or lighter cookwares, you definitely need 240-volt for anything more substantial, especially cast iron (like us).Also the temp control is a plus - it simmers all day without boiling over at 160F. The max power works perfectly as well, like for boiling soup in a large stock pot.

Compared to my old 1800-watt, 110V cooktop, this induction cooktop feels so much sturdy after nearly six months of use. A quick wipe-down after cooking, and it’s as clean and shiny as new. The stainless steel still gleams, and the solid build makes me confident it’ll last for years.Last weekend, I made a big batch of marinara sauce for a family gathering. The 3200-watt power boiled the tomatoes in no time, and the temperature control let me simmer the sauce for hours,no burning, no sticking.Boiling water is so much faster on this 240V cooktop compared to the 110V one. Since I already had a 240V outlet at home, I could plug it in right away. For me, the extra power and faster cooking speed make a huge difference, especially when using heavy pots. It cost a bit more, but totally worth it.

We had another brand induction cooktop stove in our café shop. Though our new home has a six-burner gas oven & stovetop, we still set up this induction cooktop in our garage as a backup tool, mainly for preparing large pots of bone soup for our family gatherings on weekends. We insist on commercial-grade, especially NSF-certified products. We bought this powerful 208V model because we appreciate its high power and fast cooking capabilities. Compared to the one in our café, this unit heats up faster and performs better, and it's quieter during cooking because it only has one fan. Next cooking, I will try the Temperature setting for this new unit, fully aware that it will require multiple adjustments to align with my cooking habits and the cookware used because we tried many times in our shop. Starting with low-temperature cooking, simmer soups first.

Using for 7 months now with no issues. Cannot beat the value. Compared to the old gas stove, I clearly prefer this one.When I first unboxed it, I was really impressed with the quality. It’s sturdy, made of high-quality stainless steel, not as bulky as I expected, and the weight is just right for easily moving it around, especially in areas where you need 208 or 240 voltage.Working with it is just like using a gas burner, with a simple front panel and responsive buttons. It heats up quickly and evenly, which is especially useful when cooking indoors during bad weather. Even if it’s windy outside, I don’t face the same problems I had with the gas burner. Now, I just hope it lasts a long time!

The media could not be loaded. Solid feel. Boils water quickly. I purchased it so I could use my 10 inch skillet, but it doesn't heat enough of the skillet to be useful. It also cycles off and on at low heat settings rather than providing constant heat. When sautéing the ring of heat is too hot and the outside of the skillet is cool.

I purchased and began using this induction cooktop in August. I appreciate its quality construction and the induction heat it provides. I absolutely love it and use it every day.After Thanksgiving, made a turkey bone broth. I set the timer for 10 hours and set temp to 210. The broth came out clear and excellent.Simple to have the electric canner out for the season and store it away out of sight afterwards. Initially, I thought I'd store this induction cooktop, but I found it so useful that it now stays out on the counter all the time.The larger the coil under the glass, the better the cooking experience. Cheaper cooktops have a small coil which tend to concentrate to much heat into a small area, burning food and warping pans mercilessly. The best cooking experiences I've had with the commercial one featuring larger coils, high-quality electronics, and a great value for the price. edit Jan 2024: After daily use for 6 months haven't changed my mind. A durable product and the function is still working well.

Item stopped working after 2 weeks.

I have been using this cooktop over one week. Although it costs more when compared my previous commercial hot plate, but I definitely notice the difference in performance. This unit is truly solid and feels robust.The unit is with an adjustable feet, allowing it to be placed on uneven surfaces with ease.The 3200 watts of power output is much bigger than my previous hot plate 1500 watts. But the first step before you buy it, please make sure you have suitable socket for 240V.I cook goulash, roulades, etc. in larger quantities and then freeze them in a portioned way. However, this is tedious on a hotplate. Since I got this cooktop, this problem is no longer an issue. It cooks faster.My conclusion is that this is an excellent induction cooktop, whether as a complement to the existing cooktop in the kitchen or as a stand-alone cooking device in a single kitchen. I switch to Induction.
