Total Chef TCIS11BNG Induction Cooktop with Bonus Pan and Glass Lid Black

Total Chef TCIS11BNG Induction Cooktop with Bonus Pan and Glass Lid BlackOur first impression of this cook top is that it is very well put together, small and relatively energy efficient compared to other forms of electric cooking. My wife had purchased this one because it included a 'bonus' pan to use with the induction cook top, but we quickly realized this pan is way too thin to be useful on this cook top. It's stainless steel, but its very thin, somewhere on the order of the thickness of card stock paper, maybe. This ultra thin pan is very easy to burn on even low settings, as we found out attempting to use it for the first time.

Pros:

Cook top is small, lightweight and relatively efficient for it's price point.

Cook top operates in either preset heat modes (1 10) or by temperature in increments.

Cook top will not operate with cookware that is not magnetic (glass, aluminum, etc.) and will not even stay on if attempting to use them.

Cook top is not swipe sensitive, so it's not easy to change settings or turn it on accidentally, but provides concise controls when used appropriately (by touching)

Cook top heats up quickly and provides consistent heating across the surface.

Cons:

Included 'bonus' pan is great for boiling water and cooking pasta, but not much else. Any small amount of material (butter, margarine, PAM for example) will burn even on the lowest setting within seconds.
