    These are great, economical, and versatile induction cooktops. They'll handle sizes of pans and skillets from six to ten inches, including cast iron. The won't take small five-inch pans or anything greater than ten inches. They bring the items to temperature quickly and hold the set temperature with a range of 140 to 420. The timer has increments of five minutes and shuts the cooktop off at the end of the period. These can be used for everything from keeping food warms to sauteing and pan frying.

    I bought one of these about 2 years ago. It is an incredible value. I have used it for most of my cooking needs. From making eggs, pancakes, slow frying Bacon to boiling water for pasta or rice or oatmeal. I normally use it on low setting. Rarely do I go over 1000. I keep a paper towel on top to keep it nice and clean. Only thing I do not like about it, is that the OFF setting does not turn off the display. Other negative is the timer. It uses 5 minute increments. Would be nice to be able to set the increments town a a single minute. Would I buy it again?. Yes, and I just ordered a two more.

My team does multiple in-home as well as conference / large meeting cooking demonstrations per month and needed a reliable, cost-effective, readily portable induction unit to take on the road with us. We've been thrilled the past few months using this Avantco ICBTM-20 countertop induction unit - it's been a consistent performer, heats water and cooking goodies with amazing speed for us, and is a never-ending target of questions and comments from students and attendees. Will be adding two double burner induction units shortly, and have never noticed the high pitched whine that some users have reported in the past. For the price, this is a wonderful tool for the road or home kitchen.

Great value!

There are many mixed reviews on this product. Common sense tells you not to use a pan larger than range, or it will not heat properly. I have only had it a few months, but it really meets my needs in my small commercial space. I am impressed with how quickly it gets up to temp. You barely have to touch the buttons to adjust it, so the lock feature makes it nice in case you brush the panel. For the price--really, you can't beat it.

The benefits on how fast you can lower or increase temp, is when you oven. With a 10 ¼ " Skillet  (seen on pic and video), when covered, as a Dutch oven, in just 8-10 minutes you can have a nice roast beef: 
    1-2 min for sealing and browning on each side at 460º F, and 
    some 6-8 min at 320-360 for cooking up the meat until it's 110-120º F inside.

I've been using diverse traditional electric and gas range tops. The Avantcto ICBTM-20, 1.8 KW, 120 V, reaches the 460º F very fast. I also have the bigger Avantco 3.5 KW, 220 V, and both models perform similarly in applications with skillets. Truly a good small induction range, the Avantco 1.8 W, we're reviewing with 5 stars. Many other good brands offer de 1 KW for a more expensive price. The smaller the cast iron skillet you are using, like the Tablecrat CW30152 24 oz mini casserole (8" diameters) with handles, the faster you can cook. When turning on, in a minute i'm frying eggs. I switch between 180ºF and 220ºF to do the perfect eggs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most induction ranges do not have specified weight or pan capacities, but make sure to check the manual. The key to ensuring your range works properly and does not get damaged by too much weight is to use a pan with a bottom diameter that does not exceed the burner's diameter. Using a larger pan or pot, such as a stock pot, will lessen the effectiveness of the range and the quality of your food. Please note a warped or uneven bottom, a very dirty pan/pot bottom, or a chipped or cracked pot/pan might cause error codes.
