Single Countertop Burner

It's wonderful, cooks faster and better than a microwave or a regular stove. Plus easier to clean and mine is so attractive, it's ready show time on a cooking channel.

I did not want to commit to a whole induction cook top so I bought this single model to see how I like it. It works fantastic. I can’t believe how fast I can make dinner. I keep it by the radiant glass cook top stove, so when I am done with my first item, I then move it over to the cook stove to stay warm while I quickly make the second item on the menu. I already owned some pots and pans that had magnetic bottoms so all That it cost to get started was the price of this induction cooker. Also I really appreciate that cooking with this induction stove doesn’t get me heated or add more heat to the room. It’s very easy to use. I used the power settings. A little power goes a long way. The second lowest power setting is good for sautéing and bring a thick sauce to a boil and the next highest one is good for stir fry. No reason to use the highest setting except to quickly bring water to a boil. People worry about the safety of the magnetic energy, so I keep it a foot away from me. I know naturalist doctors say walking on the dirt barefoot is good for your health because you are absorbing the Earths magnetic energy so I am not sure what is the difference. We plan on taking this induction plate with us camping.

We loved our first one so we bought a second one! We use it all the time when we do Hotpot gathering at our house! Functionally, it heats up so fast and very easy to use. My only concern is there is a burning smell when we first turn it on. We knew it did that from our first purchase so we made sure to turn on the second hot plate outside and make sure the smell is gone and everything is ok. We still can’t figure out why it smells like that in the beginning. Cord length is a little short so we always need an extension cord. We’ve had our first hot plate for a couple of years now so I’d say it’s got a good build quality. We like how portable and easy to store. Besides the smell, it’s great!

Heats up fast, and does the job, also cleans really easy. Why I bought it I cook with iron skillets sometimes, but don't like using them on my glass top stove, so this works out great, or if I'm cooking fish or some things that leave an odor in the house, I cook it outside on the deck. .

I have used Cusimax electric burner several times, I love it. Being able to control the on and off is great also being able to control the temperature control is wonderful. It heats up and cooks perfect. The size of the burner works great with large and small cookware. Also being portable and very well made is great

I am not happy with this product. It does not hold it's tempter: it has to be reset in the middle of cooking. Amazon does not replace it nor refund for this product. I tried contacting the company but did not get a response.

I received my hotplate about two weeks ago and have used it multiple times, happy with all of them. Heats up nicely and cooks evenly. I want to address some of the complaints in other reviews. First, with every product there are going to be a few that just don't work. Return them and get one that does. If you do the registration process (email them a picture and your order #) described in the product instructions, they have a good warrant in case of problems. Second, it does heat up slowly but that is true of all electric burners, hotplates or stovetops. It takes a learning curve to figure out what settings you want but that's life. It got plenty hot to fry things, lower temps are perfect for simmering. Most stoves just say "high, medium, low" but this one has numbers. Easy to figure that out. Also, once hot it does stay hot and even after you turn it off. That's a function of it being heat-retaining cast iron instead of some cheaper metal. When I make eggs or pancakes, for example, I turn the burner off halfway through the first side and then flip them and let the retained heat finish side two. One thing to keep in mind is that the pan will be HOT so set it on a heat-resistant surface until it's cooled down. That's in the instructions. I find you get better results if you read them and pay heed. The unit itself is nice and stable, sturdy and heavier than most hotplates because it's cast iron. I also love that there's no gap around the burner for food or liquid to spill into and ruin everything. It takes a full-size skillet, it's not tiny, but it doesn't take up a huge amount of counterspace either. Yes, the off and on rub off the control knob pretty quickly but I put a little + and - on there with black tape and problem solved. Also, the big orange light when you turn it on is a pretty good clue. Read and follow the instructions and hopefully you'll be as happy with yours as I am with mine.

Cons: 1. Fan Noise - I read other reviews about how loud this fan can get. I even found a YouTube short video demonstrating the fan noise of this cooktop. I kinda knew this would be loud. Just didn't imagine this could be this loud in person. Not quite as loud as a vacuum nor a blowdryer... However, a cooktop shouldn't remind me of the vacuum sound/noise lol 2. Cookware Compatibility - One of my large pot doesn't work on this cooktop getting an EO error code. All induction technology cooktop has the same issue. It's not this product's fault. Pros: 1. Temperature Control - The temperature control is surprisingly accurate way beyond my expectations. I have read other reviews saying this temperature control is not accurate and it's better to manually control the power. I bought this cooktop to hotpot. (Btw, this is my first time ever using an induction cooktop. I just did a hotpot as soon as I unboxed this.) I first used the highest power setting 1800w to boil the hotpot. It boiled the pot pretty fast. Then I started to play with the temperature control settings. 212F actually keeps the pot at constant gentle boiling point. The pot immediately stop boiling as soon as I turn it down to the next lower temperature setting 176F. Then I got curious how accurate can I test this thing when I don't have a thermometer. So I set the temperature to 140F and knowing this temperature should keep the beef at medium rare without overcooking it. Sure enough my thin slice of beef actually stay medium rare in the pot for awhile. Although I didn't let my beef to stay in the pot for an hour to prove if this temperature control is at laser sharp accurate. It is good enough for me to enjoy my medium rare beef with ease to boil. In fact, sous vide steak is my next experiment with this cooktop lol... 2. Oversize Pot - I was under the impression this cooktop will read EO if the cookware is too big or too small. However, I have pot is larger than 10" and it seems to work. 3. Cleaning - So easy to clean because the dirt on the surface will not get burn. 4. Portability - fairly light to carry it around.

My kitchen is under renovation and I haven't had a working stove for a month. I bought this to use in my laundry room/temporary kitchen. It's perfect for the job - it's very stable on the counter and the controls are very clear with a separate on/off and temperature knob; it gets extremely hot for stir frying/or a steak etc if desired or boiling water for pasta; and on a low setting it's suitable for soups or a slow-cooking stew. I placed it on a large baking sheet covered in tin foil to help make any splattering easier to clean up.

works great. much faster than my reg. electric stove. Fan is a bit loud though, but it stops once cooking is done.

I like this product because does what the advertisement said. I love truthful marketing so the customer doesn’t have to go through the process of returning or giving up on what they thought might accomplish.

Not safe for elderly people. Went to turn the dial off and it was very hot.
