My First Experience With Induction Cooking Has Been GREAT!!!!
By JR
I've been amateur cooking for nearly 50 years and always preferred gas. No more. Fire has it's place in BBQ, smoking, and high searing. I will still use my electric pressure cooker, sous vide and rice cooker. But induction cooking will handle all the rest.1. It is fast. I did a quick experiment using a 3.5 qt steel pot, 2 quarts of cold tap water. My 12,000 BTW cooktop burner boiled the water in 14 min 30 seconds. The Avantco cooktop did it in 9 min 5 sec. As a control, I also boiled 1 quart of cold tap in an Adagio electric kettle and it took 4 minutes 30 seconds.2. It won't burn food for difficult heating tasks. I needed to melt butter in a pnn for a roux. Setting the temperature to 210 I was able to turn my back and not worry about it. I am able to adjust the temperature from searing steaks to gently frying eggs. This makes these tasks really easy.3. This Avantco is built very solidly. The basic structure is stainless steel. The top is glass. The only plastic is the knob for the power control and the front control panel. This could be used commercially.Overall, this unit will earn its space on your kitchen's countertop over any other electric appliance.

By K. Nakamura
Had bought a cheaper Chinese IH unit in the sub-hundred range. It worked well but only lasted a year so when it broke, decided to step up and get a more professional model.Enter the Avantco IC1800. It was the least expensive of the pro units and unlike many of the expensive ones, had variable heat using a knob rather than buttons. Stainless steel was good too. It's a very solid unit.I'm very happy with my unit so far. Lots of heat. At its full setting of '15', it draws 14amps on my 120v circuit so not quite 1800 watts but 1680 but who's counting? :-)With 15 steps, there's plenty of fine control and using the temp settings you can get pretty precise.Things that I don't like: * The vendor (webrestaurant) charges shipping So un-Amazon-ish. * The knob is great and allows for rapid heat control, but if you turn it too fast it can miss steps. Which is ok, it means it is using a rotary encoder and not a potentiometer (which would eventually go bad) but it can be disconcerting. * Wish there was even more precise control than 15 steps * The heat unit doesn't scale evenly from 100 watts to 1680 watts and sometimes it uses a very slow pulsing rather than fine PWC but that's fine too.Overall, it's a good unit and if it lasts more than a year, I'll be thrilled. Check back with me at the end of 2014. :-)
