Avantco ID1800 Drop-In / Countertop Induction Range / Cooker - 120V, 1800W

The unit I received SEEMS TO HAVE THE TEMP AND POWER LEVEL LED INDICATORS REVERSED based on the display selections available and the actual function of the unit. This cannot be normal? Is this a warranty claim WEBstaurantStore? The actually heated area seems to be about 6” in diameter and therefore counting on the cookware’s thermal conductivity to even out the heat. My high quality 10 ¼ pan seem to work per the specifications. The lower “Temps” and “PWR levels seem to be derived by cycling the induction on and off about a 7 second time interval. Here the designers are counting on the cookware’s thermal mass to even out the temperature variation. Based on an infrared and an immersion thermometer I’d have to say temperature control is not “precise” as claimed. I’ll give it an approximate estimate of what the final temperature will be. 140 Degrees setting yields closer to 180 Degrees Read More

Just picked this up to play with and see how it works. Avantco support will not tell me what the actual coil size is in this unit which seems a bit silly. Boiled two cups of water in around 1 minute 40 at 1800 watts. As compared to 4 minutes 20 seconds on glass stove top.

I was able to build a shelf around them that allowed them to drop down and be hidden while I could use at a station and keep the food hot at a venue that could not use an open flame.

So far I am a lot more impressed with this range and cooker than I thought that I was going to be. It performs very well and it is also cheap enough to buy several of them at a time.

I love this product because it is incredibly well priced and works perfectly for cooking. It is beautiful, easy to clean and very safe since it does not heat. You may end up spending more on electric energy but it is worth.
