Description
The Nesco® Portable Induction Cooktop is user friendly and energy efficient. Its smooth, ceramic glass top wipes clean with ease. Five different modes with instant temperature adjustments make cooking virtually fail-safe. And, because the heat is generated in the pan, not the element, less energy is wasted than with gas or electric stoves. Use it in dorm rooms, offices, RV's, outdoors or in the kitchen.
An electric current passing through the inducton coil beneath the surface creates an electromagnetic field.
The electromagnetic field generates heat directly into ferrous metal cookware placed on the cooktop, bypassing the glass surface. So the pan gets hot - the cooktop doesn't.

5 Touch Controls: Melt/Warm, Simmer, Boil, Fry and Sear

| Induction burner |

I have had my induction burner for a couple of months now and am so pleased that I rarely use my stove. Just to be able to use a sponge to wipe it of is a blessing since I has a glass top stove that is a pain to clean.
I also have had 7 jet streams over the years and use that all the time also and cooks perfect. Nesco would be my first purchase place for anything made and commend them for their service when needed. |

I've already written one review and had hoped just to add to it, but here's an addendum. After much use, I've come to like the 5 cooking modes which seem to be very accurate for what they are labeled. The unit is also very responsive when changing modes. This morning I prepared crêpes and found that mode 3 provided the perfect temperature to the pan for cooking the crêpes to perfection. I am using a pan that has extremely even heat distribution and that helps. Dare I mention Anolon Nouvelle Copper anodized aluminum cookware with its non-stick properties. I didn't even use cooking spray in the pan and the crêpes came out perfectly. For quick and easy preparation this little unit is a jewel.

| Great Cooktop |

I have recently received this unit and have put it through it paces. I have been cooking on induction units for 4 or 5 years and have one built-in and 3 free standing. Compared to top of the line units the Nesco measures up quite favorably. I like the 5 cooking modes, and it is very responsive when moving from one to the other. This is a nice feature for beginning induction users.
The one thing I miss on this unit, compared to others, is a timer. I have come to be dependent on a timer, especially with my pressure cooker, but for the price this is an excellent unit that I will use with confidence and recommend without hesitation or reservation.
