Review on Cuisunyo Induction Cooktop: Powerful 1800W Countertop Burners with Advanced Digital Sensor and Timer Settings - Ideal for Magnetic Cookware by John Clarey

On the one hand it is an affordable solution for induction cooking with all its advantages - energy efficiency, fast heating, easy cleaning of surfaces and safety. On the other hand, the effective heating surface of this stove is a 3-inch diameter circle in the center, and the rest of the surface is almost useless. So even on low settings, everything burns in the middle, while everything else is cold. And that's after using a heavy 9-inch cast-iron skillet, which naturally wants to distribute heat better than flimsy metal skillets. The best use for this is when you want to heat a lot of liquid in a narrow bottomed pot - like boiling water or oil for deep frying - I wouldn't use it for braising, shallow frying or sautéing.
