This product ROCKS! I don't know how I lived without this Viking portable induction cooktop. It looks great, functions beautifully and even the knob has a high quality 'feel' to it. I'm looking forward to years of use.

I've been using the Viking Portable Electric Induction Cooker (15x12-in.) since October 2008. It is fantastic. There are some limits, for example, no Le Creuset will work on it. But all Lodge work fine (both regular cast iron, and their enameled which has a better cooking surface than the more expensive brands). Pretty much any pan or pat that a magnet can stick to strongly will work. The high is much hotter than a normal cooktop, and the low is lower. With induction, the amount of heating changes the instant you change the power. I have more control over heating than with gas now. The traditional-style control knob is essential, I think. I would not want to be tapping little buttons in the middle of a saut??. Cleans like a charm. It sits on top of my old electric range which I never use.

Like everyone else looking at induction it is a fantastic tool for any kitchen. We received our first Viking unit and put it to use to boil some water. My wife and son quickly complained the unit was putting out a nausiating odor. I called Viking and with no hesitation they sent me another one. This one also is putting out the same nausiating odor. Viking is standing behind the unit as I send the second unit back. I hope we get the odor problem cleaned up because I like the unit.
