Search on Wikipedia for ‘Induction Cooktop’ to read a Technical write up. There were more compatible styles of Cookware possible to use than I had understood prior. That is, it’s not just a ‘black and white’ matter of either Ferrous Cookware or not.

From a Vendor at the Quartzsite AZ RV Show, I learned there is a Ferrous Plate with a Handle that can be set on an Induction Cooktop. It heats up. Then, a non-Ferrous piece of Cookware can be set on top, and Heat transfers upward. This means you would not have to immediately buy all new Ferrous Cookware.

Having traveled extensively, I can state that the Technical Specs and applicable U.S. Governmental Standards are reasons Induction Cooktops sold in the U.S. would cost more than those sold elsewhere.

Hi Lynn, I would go to the Fagor website and do your research. http://www.fagoramerica.com/appliances/cooktops/induction/portable_induction

Does anybody know how long this unit lasts? Perhaps it is hours rated. Where do I find this information?

I have one in my tiny cottage. That, plus the largest countertop oven I could find is my complete cooking setup. Works great & very responsive controls (gets hot & cools down fast). I think the price is for the two burner one – mine was much cheaper than that (amazon), but it may be a different brand.

Rating Voltage: 110 – 120V 50 – 60Hz 1300 Watts I’m thinking of sinking this into the worktop of my tumbleweed type home but would have to up-grade to a genset as I don’t think my 12v inverter is going to like it very much

This would be really nifty for the little cabin I’m planning to build down here in TN. I will have to see if the power wattage would be too much for a solar panel powered electrical system..

Yes, you are right Michael. Here are the specs from the Fagor site: Used only with induction compatible cookware such as enameled iron and steel, stainless steel with a magnetic bottom, or cast iron.
