Reddit reviews Duxtop 1800W Portable Induction Cooktop Countertop Burner, Black 9100MC

I'm using two.

Duxtop 9100

Chefman RJ21

I'm using a 4 gallon pot on each. They both work fine, but the Duxtop is definitely nicer. Also, apparently they fibbed on the Chefman, and it's really 1600 watts instead of 1800, so if I start an equal amount of wort boiling on both at the same time, it does take a few minutes longer on the Chefman.

I can't compare it to propane, but it's a huge improvement over using an electric stove. Not only is it faster, but I can take both of them out on the patio, so that my place doesn't become a sauna.

this is the one I bought: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GMCAM2G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Boil strength isn't incredibly strong, but it helps if you wrap the kettle in a couple of layers of cheap reflectix insulation.

Also, I recently added an electric heat stick to help cut down on time to reach boil and increase boil vigor: https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/hotrodrtu.htm

So I am in this for a fair amount of coin at this point, but I still get a better boil going electric than I did when trying to boil on my stovetop. Also, I typically do 3.5 gallon batches, but my setup can handle 5 gallons easily.

It was a gift, but I think it's this one https://www.amazon.com/Secura-9100MC-Portable-Induction-Countertop/dp/B00GMCAM2G/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1526504156&sr=8-5&keywords=duxtop+induction+cooktop&dpID=51bi2swj1KL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

It's a Duxtop model and 1800W.

Consider getting a single burner induction stove/cooktop. Like this and this. It has temperature control, timer, and also cooks very efficiently. Only thing is, you will need to buy special induction friendly pots and pans.

Better still, have you considered changing your style of cooking? Try using a pressure cooker for example. It cooks meat and stews every bit as good as a slow cooker (in fact, better) and you are done in less than half hour. Look at Instant Pot or the equivalent - which is an electric pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, and for general purpose cooking/sauteeing. You can literally cook everything in this single pot, and be done in half hour instead of doing the "all day cooking on slow cooker" thing. And it has a timer, temp control, the works.

Looks like this one.

Slice the chicken up and cook it in a pan with some oil. If you are not allowed to use a stove, I can suggest you pick up a cook top.

You will need pots and pans with a magnetic bottom for this to work, but there is no open flame, or a heating element, so it's safer to use in a room. I would just make some kind of stir fry. There are recipes around, so you can find one you like. I suggest just googling and looking at different easy recipes and giving it a shot. You can also cook a lot of rice for a few days and store it in a fridge, or just get a rice cooker so you can make rice at the same time. I work 16+ hours and can't leave my job, and I am able to eat every day by cooking at work on one of those and a pot and a pan. It's pretty easy.

You're probably better off getting an induction burner like this and maybe a small rice cooker for easy rice. Pressure cooker will cook rice really well if you still want to get one though. The meats you listed would do better on a burner or in an oven, veggies can be easily steamed in a microwave, and even your sweet potatoes will cook best in a microwave or cubed up and put in a pan.

OP could get one of those portable induction hot plate things. That +microwave and toaster oven will be more that enough to do everything but a Thanksgiving turkey.

Hotpot places usually use induction plates and pots compatible with such.

Edit: Example. It doesn't generate excess heat that would otherwise be dangerous when moving around the pot.

You can find cheaper ones and this one goes on sale occasionally.

This one is on Amazon for $70 (down from $130): https://www.amazon.com/Secura-9100MC-Portable-Induction-Countertop/dp/B00GMCAM2G/

I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/NuWave-Precision-Induction-Cooktop-Watts/dp/B00DP6BJE2 which is 1300 Watts (vs the 1800) and use it with my cast iron skillet to sear or fry things on the back patio.

I had a butane stovetop I used for a couple years, but it works for shit when it's cold and windy. No such problems with the induction burner.

There are a few $50 1800 watt things on amazon too, now that I look.

No need to remodel. These are counter-top models ---> Like this guy.

I don't lift, it slides easily. I use this induction hot plate.

I live in Brazil and got a local brand, but I found this on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Secura-9100MC-Portable-Induction-Countertop/dp/B00GMCAM2G/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?keywords=single+induction+burner&qid=1568987189&s=gateway&sprefix=single+indu&sr=8-5 search for single induction burner =]

> It's not my oven and I don't know if I'm going to live here next year, so it's too much trouble.

Is this a rental place? You might want to post on /r/legaladvice about whether your jurisdiction requires that the landlord provide you with a working kitchen. Or maybe your lease says something about it. If you own the place yourself, you should know that gas range/oven combos can be had as cheap as $400 (example link). Also, you can get a counter-top induction burner for less than $100 (example one) (example two).
