Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Fagor Portable Induction Cooktop
Customer Review: Induction is the best way to go
Summary: 3 Stars
I initially ordered the Fagor cooktop, but because of the reasons stated in several of the reviews (the controls were difficult to use and noise) I sent it back afer one week and ordered the Sunpentown instead (Model 1881S). It turns out that the noise is about the same as it is on the Fagor, but the controls are much better. The Sunpentown has five keys (which beep and light up when pressed) that go from 420 deg down to 120 deg. If that isn't enough, the keys can be set to either cook or warm. (Fagor makes good products as I have used one of their pressure cookers for several years now. An induction burner is the perfect mate to a pressure cooker since the heat settings are so precise.)
I have had this product for about nine months and use it on a daily basis. We have a gas range with a black cooking surface which is almost impossible to keep clean. Since I've had the induction burner, I've retired the range since it is seldom used now.
Both of these burners have black ceramic surfaces and they are simple to clean up. I've never had a burnt on-spill that required a metal scraper to remove it as the burner doesn't get hot enough to burn the spill. As others had said, the burner doesn't heat up the kitchen.
As others have said, I've noticed that the heat doesn't exactly correspond to the size of the circles shown on the burner's surface, nevertheless, it is probably the fastest and most efficient way to cook food on any burner that's out there.
Make sure you watch Fagor's movie which is available on the preceding page. It graphically explains how these technological marvels work.
Description of Fagor Portable Induction Cooktop
Fagor's New Portable Induction cooktop provides the fastest, safest, most efficient cooking experience. It uses 90% of energy produced which saves energy and money. The cooktop provides precise and instant heat and cooks 50% faster than gas and electric.

This versatile indoor/outdoor cooktop is great for entertaining; use it as a stylish, elegant centerpiece on the table, for outdoor parties or in the kitchen as an extra cooking zone. Induction cooktops must be used with cookware that has a magnetic bottom (one that a magnet will stick to). All Fagor Cookware is Induction Compatible.Kitchen and Housewares
