susandennisIt's big. Bigger than I imagined. I kind of thought it would perch in the middle of my 4 burners and be a 5th. er, no. This buddy don't share realestate. But, that's ok. I have a space to the side where it can live nicely.
I read the instructions and whipped out the pan that a magnet sticks to, filled it with water and turned it on. The water was boiling faster than if I had tried that same amount of water in the microwave. The pan got hot and the burner got warm. But, I could touch both without burning me.
It has 10 settings 1-10 for power low to high. And then it has 10 settings for temperature. So if you want to boil water, you give it a 10. If you want to bring your xxx up to 400 degrees, you set it for 400 degrees.
I think I like it a lot.
The instructions do say to use a dedicated outlet and I'll bet they mean that.
This is the model I got - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MVN1M6 - $75 total with tax (free ship). I R happy.
I'll give it a road test tonight when I reheat the risotto and asparagus and chicken marsalla for dinner.
