VonShef Single Induction Hob – 2000W Portable Induction Cooker w/LED Touch Display, 3 Hour Timer, 10 Heat Settings 60-240°C, Safety Lock - Black

The best additional induction hob ever!! I bought this on the recommendation of other family members who had also bought this.It's quite large in size so double check the dimensions but it's very lightweight and heats up very quickly. Its big enough to use a large 28cm pan on it comfortably.The only thing I'd say is that the cable is short so you might need an extension if the plug is far away from where you can safely use it.Many functions and heats up from 60 degrees until 220 degrees. You can also change the wattage and time with ease so it's got a lot of functionality

Good product.

It is everything you expect from an induction hob, it is fast to heat, it's fast to cool off. Function to regulate temperature is very handy. The only problem I have - I can't easily to switch it on - sometimes I have to press the button for longer than 20-30 seconds which is for ages in the morning when I cook breakfast. Maybe I'll learn how to do it faster, but now it is just frustrating. Sometimes I feel it waits for me to give up and only then it switches on))))Easy to clean and quite good to cook, as soon as I learn how to press it to switch it on - it'll be a perfect hob!

Very nice, works well

The seller’s page description says“FAST & FUSS-FREE FEASTING: A great alternative to gas hobs, your induction hob heats the whole pan rather than the surface for effective results.”This is very misleading, because the heated area is very small.This Induction Hob - only heats up a very small circular region in the centre of the pan, roughly 10cm-12.5cm diameter.The area of induction heat is very intense, so the pot / pan gets very hot in the centre. The heat transfers outwards very slowly and doesn’t spread quickly enough. As a result, the food gets burnt in the centre before the remainder of the food gets hot at all.The only way to cook a pan of food is to keep stirring it. The makes it impossible to leave anything to simmer. It is also near on impossible to cook omelettes, pancakes and such like without burning the underside if the food.Also, the food on the outside cools down, so the food is often served luke-warm, not piping hot all over.Foods get stuck to the central hot area and will burn if not stirred. Any protein, from milk, eggs, meat etc etc will stick to the pan. Even my non-stick pan had food stuck in the centre, often brown or burnt.The heat from the induction process is so intense, it’s likely to burn the food, even at the lower settings.I ended up returning the hob for a full refund.I’m writing this review to warn others that this hob (and most other portable induction hobs like it) are going to be problematic.There’s nothing wrong with induction heating, but the reason this is a problem on these portable home hobs is that the heating area is too small for the purpose. The heating area needs to be much bigger.Whatever setting you try, it fails. On high settings, the food burns. On low settings, the food is not hot enough.The sales blurb is misleading, beware.

Works really well, instant heat, quick cool down and easy to clean

Really happy with my purchase! No noise. Fantastic size. 4 zones to cook for different size of pan.

Appalling build quality. Unit feels flimsy and the plastic panel is over flexible and the controls are not particularly responsive. Unit also has annoying flashing "L" when on standby which is distracting and cannot be turned off. The functionality of the induction hobs themselves feel fine though.
