Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of the Fagor Portable Induction Cooktop
Customer Review: Yes and, no
Summary: 4 Stars
I hate the Jenn-Air cooktop in the house I bought and, before I shelled out $3 - 4k for an induction cooktop to replace it, I thought I'd try this little one out.
My dislike of the Jenn-Air gas cooktop is the lack of "range". Low is too hot to simmer and high just doesn't get there to blacken meats. With only 6 heating levels, I did not expect the Fagor cooktop to have the precision I want. I was wrong, it excelled in both. I simmered a pot of chili quickly and it easily held it at just below simmer. I clarified butter in a steel bowl (more on that later) and it quickly separated and never boiled up to mess up the separation. I then took it outside, put it up on high with my Lodge fry pan and seared a steak like never before.
And, I sent it back. Of all the pots and pans I had, only three worked. Be sure you check your cookware to see if a magnet will stick before you commit to any Induction unit. None will work with aluminum, copper or some stainless steel pots or pans.
One other small issue was the fan noise and funny noise the controls make when the unit cycles on and off. I would have lived with that, but not a big investment in all new cookware.
