Why You Should Get the Best Single Induction Cooker

What To Look When Buying the Best Single Induction Cooker

Everyone has their preferences on what is important or not when deciding on getting a single induction hob. But I would like to offer my opinion on the most essential attributes that an induction cooker should have!

1. Multi Power Level Setting

Whether it can be controlled directly by selecting power levels or by adjusting temperature settings – most common induction cooker designs have at least 9 power levels.

While some designs have more granular power levels for better control of cooking results as desired.

2. User-friendly Controls

Non-techy end users would have difficulty navigating the control panel if designed poorly.

Icons and silkscreen printings will provide a better understanding of controls and ease of use even without looking at the instruction manual – all the time that you are cooking.

3. Build Quality

The slim design has become more and more popular nowadays.

Induction cookers generate high power and they should be built for that purpose. Housing or enclosure should always have vents to release the generated heat inside.

4. Warranty

The induction cooker is not a cheap item. Although it is guaranteed to function normally, you’ll never know if other hidden problems may arise during usage.

Reason why they should always come with a warranty.

Some dealers or sellers may include an extended warranty based on their given conditions.

Best Single Induction Cooker FAQ’s

1. What is the smallest diameter pot it will detect?

The minimum compatible size of cookware (with flat bottom) that can be used are:

• Duxtop 9600LS – φ5″
• Duxtop 9100MC – φ4″
• NuWave PIC Flex – φ3″

2. How big a pan diameter can you safely use on this cooker?

You have to consider that the heating area is marked for easy reference. These induction cookers have a diameter heating area of 8 inches.

Some buyers have used cookware with a size of 11.5″ which has worked just fine.

3. Can you use a glass ware?

Using glassware directly won’t work.

I have written an article on how an induction cooker works as well as why induction cooktops turn off automatically, which could help you understand further.

Final Thoughts

So, there you have the best single induction cooker that is still popular in the market these days.

I own a touch control single induction hob that has a Child Lock safety feature.

Although the other two models listed here don’t have such features due to their design limitation (using push button controls) – but hey, they are still safe to use.

The most important thing you have to note is that it is always stated in the manual not to allow children to operate such devices.

Therefore, the models I have mentioned here are safe and have received good reviews.

And in closing, if you have any questions or suggestions please leave a comment below and I will try to answer as soon as I can and to the best of my knowledge.
