What Others Say
for using normal cookware on induction stoves
does what it says. Negative is that it isn't great for high heat, like boiling water. So we really can't use it for a double boiler, or spaghetti pot, etc. and these were part of what we wanted it for. Also, a little expensive for what it does.
It actually does seem to work!
Well, with trepidation after reading the previous review I decided to try one of these. First some background.
I plan on replacing my 15 year old radiant cooktop and have decided that induction is the way to go. Cooking - particularly Italian - is my hobby and stress reducer. Before investing in both the cooktop and the almost $800 that it will cost to upgrade my 30 amp wiring to 40 amp, I decided to do some testing.
Several weeks ago I purchased a Waring Pro single burner induction cooktop (Waring Pro ICT100 Professional Induction Cooktop) to test out the concept. I was really impressed with induction cooking but, like many others, have a number of favorite pans which are not induction capable.
Don't waste your money
I purchased this Induction Disk to use on my new induction cooktop with my old cookware that is not induction-compatible (not ferrous).
The disk took a very long time to even begin to heat water. I tried it a few times with various items - a stockpot with an inch of water, a beloved Cuisinart omelet pan with just a trace of water - and it took forever. So long, in fact, that my cooktop shut down due to the excessive heat generated by the disk.
This was quite disappointing. It's going to have to be returned.
