Induction cooking is becoming more popular in the U.S. What is it? In simple terms it’s a burner that’s really an electromagnet. Charge the electromagnet, it builds a field, it excites molecules of food and that generates heat. So the primary difference is that in induction, it’s the pot that gets hot, not the burner, and things get hotter faster, like boiling water in under five minutes.
With the science lesson out of the way, we now present you with the result: The Fagor Portable Induction Cookstop. The Fagor single burner is portable, lightweight and powerful. It weighs seven pounds and has a temperature range of 160 to 430 degrees.
This portable hot plate – perfect for the student away at school (like my niece) – has a lot of the features you’d expect to find in a much more expensive, built-in model. Features like a built in countdown timer, six power levels, a digital touch control panel, an auto pan detector, a child lock, and an auto shut down feature.
Fagor has thought of everything in this little wonder and we were impressed by it’s quality and durability.
