Micro-Induction Cooktop provides the best in cooktop performance, safety and efficiency. Induction heats as electricity flows through a coil to produce a magnetic field under the ceramic plate. When a ferromagnetic cookware is placed on the ceramic surface, currents are induced in the cookware and instant heat is generated due to the resistance of the pan. Heat is generated to the pan only and no heat is lost. As there are no open flames, inductions are safer to use than conventional burners. Once cookware is removed, all molecular activity ceases and heating is stopped immediately.
I had to sent the unit back, was defective, cooking temp would jump from 700 to 1300 and would shut down. This was all in the time period within ten minutes of use. Waiting for a replacement unit. I hope this one works!
So I can't say if I would recommend it to a friend as of yet, have to see how the replacement unit works.
What's great about it: runs off house current, saves money not using the electric range
What's not so great: was defective did not cook the way it was intended
