Wow! Duh! The pan you used is a factor in how it transmits heat. You should know that from having done a magnetic test in the beginning. It would have been interesting for you to move a magnet around the bottom of the pan - it could have been that the core of the pan was only as large as what you saw in the demo for the eggs. And why did you use the lowest setting and then get upset when it didn't cook faster? And why to you think all those folks on amazon loved it?
Was the problem regarding the omelette the fault of the pan,machine or induction in general? If it can't do this simple job it seems a pointless system.
@Nimmanhemin17 It's due to the conductivity of the pan he used, when you use an induction cooktop, its gotta be a good heat conductor of heat otherwise it'll only generate heat in a 5-7 inch area due to the heat being generated in the middle, and will be cool in the outer areas, as observed in the video above.
It's probably best to use something like a magnetic stainless steel pan.
Thanks for your review. As with most new products we must educate ourselves how to use them correctly. We have to experiment a lot and then after awhile we make adjustment & get it right. I think that these inductive cooktops are best for prepairing certain kinds meals quickly (as pointed out by several others). Stir frying, for instance, using a flat bottomed steel wok has been considered a boon to those that like that method of cooking. Live & learn.
Could the metal disc be used for tempering chocolate or perhaps when making a custard. It seems to impeded high heat which is what you want when doing the two items I mentioned...just a thought.
I really liked this review because it answered some of the question i couldnt find anywhere else. But watching this video its obvious that you didnt use the product correctly. Now if that is because you didnt follow instructions or that this one device was flawed i dont know. but as i can see you didnt you the other rings in the egg test and you had to low of a setting on the heat. The hot plate was good info. Like you show keep it up. =)
Are you kidding me? You didn't follow directions (What IS the maximum size pan your directions specify?). Mine is 9 inches, yours is much larger and you didn't say. You showed a cheap 8 buck pan can't heat evenly. We know that already. You didn't preheat your cookware, so you don't even know how to cook. It's not valid to use a too large pan without preheating. Duh.
This review is invalid. My induction experience is totally different than yours.
Hi. I don't have this problem with my induction cook tops......you must use cast iron or stainless steel only.Any other pan like "no stick" that boasts it works on induction is BS. I feel it has some limitations, but over all, a great product. This is my opinion from my experience. I enjoy your vids.
@jakatak69 I do not own an induction cook anything and just from watching this video I can see you know absolutely nothing about reviewing. You seemed to be impressed by the speed of which it boiled water, but when it came to eggs you were quite disappointed. This wouldn't seem like a problem for someone who was actually cooking something considering they usually stir it, no? Unless it's something like pancakes. But this is aimed at dorm rooms and camping...not gourmet snobs.
2. Additional hot plate sucks (I never woud have guessed a second transfer of energy would have been inefficient... \sarcasm)
3. I failed to turn on the outer rings, AND I set the product to the lowest setting. I can't believe it cooks worse than gas! (read, stupid thing has larger range of temps, horrible!)
4. Because of [obvious] flaw with re-transferring energy THROUGH the hot plate, induction sucks!
Ok - so the lowest setting wouldn't cook eggs. And you didnt think to.... turn it up? Noone ever said that the lowest setting on the induction cooker was the exact same as the lowest setting on your stove.
Your conclusion at the end said you couldn't boil water... but earlier in the video you boiled water twice as fast as your stove!
Note that induction does not work by "magnetizing" your pan. It produces an alternating magnetic field which creates currents in the pan which heat it.
@eoe1177 I said you couldn't boil water using the additional hot plate. Did you not listen. Did you not even see that I timed it and it never boiled? I also used more than one setting. In fact it wasn't on the lowest setting in this video. It was on five. That is the middle setting.
@jakatak69 "I said you couldn't boil water using the additional hot plate." No, you very clearly pointed at the cook top and said, "I couldn't even boil water with this thing," then went on to say how [it] was a waste of $165. A price you also clearly pointed out (earlier) as belonging to the cook top, not the additional hot plate.
@dll31p I visually showed using the hot plate and the water didn't boil. Obviously when I said it couldn't boil water I was refering to the video footage I showed you where it didn't boil. Are you seriously splitting hairs. Do you live to criticize. This test was done correctly and I proved it. Watch the next weeks video and you will see me show you what happened to the eggs on another setting. The device failed. Sorry you didn't like the video.
@jakatak69 No, I do not live to criticize. In fact you appear to be a fairly nice person and I take exception to having to point out the flaws in your video. However there are flaws, major flaws, which affect the outcome of the review itself. You pulled a major bait and switch (knowingly or not) which led to an invalid conclusion, recommending against the purchase of induction cook tops- ever. Basically you pulled a Michael Moore: using valid arguments out of context to *make* your point.
@dll31p Ouch. you used the Michael Moore comparison. That hurt.
I paid extra to get the hot plate which didn't work. I paid extra for the profession version just to get the most features if possible. It seems that the only induction cookware that is worth getting is the complete high end stove tops. The single ones seem just like colman camping stoves. Just not well designed. it also shut off when the pan lifted off the top. That's annoying for someone who lifts and shifts and moves stuff.
@jakatak69 Perhaps you should watch that intro video you posted on your Max Burton demo..if YOU actually listened you would have learned that it works (as eoe1177 pointed out) by producing an alternating magnetic field creating a current in the pan, which in turn heats up.
i have an induction stove at home and it can boil 4 cups of water in 13 seconds and the whole area gets hot but it also costed 4999$ so it is in a diffrent price range but that stove
The cheeper the cooking field, the smaller the magnetic coil is.
The cheeper the pan is, the less magnetic material it is in there.
i have a full iron pan made by a blacksmith and it get hot all over on my induction field.. And i have a bigger one from the market, but it only get warm in the center.
2 things to look for in an induction cooktop: the size of the coil itself (7", 9", 10") which is the size of pan it will heat and make sure that the pan that you are using is ferrous on the whole bottom and does not have partial rings at the bottom which is probably your case (the magnet trick is an easy test but it doesn't reveal if the whole bottom is ferrous. But still a good test to know which pan will NOT work on induction cooktops)
We have two of the singles induction cook things and love them. We do not have the same experience with the eggs that you did. Perhaps that one had a problem. Can't say enough about induction cooking. Fast for sure, and less energy usage. Thumbs up!
induction cooktops are really cool, we have one too, but the problem on that one is that the coil area just is too small :/ ... if you have one with bigger cooking areas, it'll be the best you ever had :D its like a gas stove just electric and its soooo much faster :D
I got similar one from a german supermarket for around 30$. In fact it seems to be identical in construction. And i have the same problem that the heat is only in the center. But for that price it's ok, in fact i think it's way better than using a regular electronic stove. Yes a gas one would perform better but i haven't one, since there is no gas line here. And i think it's the same as with other electronic devices. You must do a little research bevore buying since there is so much crap onthe..
Hi Jack, i have a stove i guess, that uses magnetism as the heat source. It's like your average stovetop, just better, thing is... theese induction stovetops (like the one you show here) don't have half the power of a real one, I recommend you to buy one with magnets next time you buy a stove.
@jakatak69 i understand it was a lot of money, but you need to go higher for induction because it's very expensive. convenient doesn't necessarily mean inexpensive, and you have to allow for the dumb rip-offs too
@jakatak69 I'm not familiar with the particular model you used, but I would imagine that if you turned it on past "the lowest possible setting" it would automatically activate the outer ring. Maybe if you read the directions before they became corrections you would have known that. Additionally, I recently priced these things for my job and $165 is the price of a fly-by-night piece of crap. You essentially paid for a Kia and were surprised that it didn't drive like a Koenigsegg.
@jakatak69 Jack, i dont knw why are ppl complaining abt Induction cookware. Personally, i used induction for like 2 yrs? maybe~ I like it really much. It works on certain magnetizable metal, n it heats only the bottom, only a ring, nt a full circle. it's awesome for fast boiling, stew, mainly food with more liquid. I love it!! It's only bad for frying, cuz it doesnt really heat evenly thruout the bottom.
@jakatak69 Btw, Jack. I hate the hotplate, nth like that comes with induction cooktops my place. N the omelette thing, u gotta turn up the heat a little, n stir in the curds as u go, n swirling the pan, that is if u wanna cook an omelette with it. I'd prefer a stove. It's only ideal for boiling, i love it!! It saves up time, especially when i'm cooking pasta. Again, only the boiling part. I'd hv a proper gas stove as my main, with the induction at the side, for stews or soups, boiling stuffs.
I have a 7 "burner" siemens induction cook-top for over 2 years now and I have never ever had a problem with it, it is amazing, it cooks faster and it's easier to clean. The only downside is that you can't use all pots on it, but it does cook the egg perfectly and the only thing I can say about the cook-top you bought is that the brand probably doesn't make good ones.
@swiftkillah313 it seems like the whole stove top inductions work fine. All the single units fail. So basically spend 2000 on a good stove top. That defeats the purpose of having it for camping or for the show.
w w w . you tube . com / watch ?v=zz-3oGd1_Eg & feature=sub
seriously stop the argument about the induction cookware. or how jack didnt do it right or anything. it would be so much freakin easier to use a stove as you could control the fire freely then pressing the buttons wasting your time to "heat" the outer panel or whatever just to cook somethin quick and simple?
oh and you have to waste electricity just to cook something on the stove when you could use gas instead? =/
@Firter but in my opinion,i would rather use the money to get ingredients for cooking or things needed for cooking lika spatula etc then buying a induction cookware. =)
@jakatak69 My mother bought us a induction cooktop from GE profile, and with full heat, the omelet cooks in 4 minutes or less. Why did you put it on the lowest heat stat?
@DanielsCompany because when I first filmed the episode on 5 the middle burnt and the outside was raw. So I had to do on 1 to allow the heat to get to the outside and cook the egg. It still didn't work.
I was wondering if you would consider doing a video using puff pastry. I see it all of the time and it seems daunting. Maybe you could make it less scary for me...lol. Thanks
I´m Spanish and I love your channel though the type of food are bit different between Spain and the USA. This technology isn´t new in Europe. Many houses have it. The only problem is the price, what you already know. Many pans you can buy are prepared to use with this technology or with the traditional one.
Hi Jack!! Love the shows btw!! I notice you were having problems with the metal plate. Just wondering if it was because you were trying to use it with a pan that already works on the magnetic surface? Maybe it only works with pans that magnets don't stick to? Did you ever find out why it didn't work so well?
@tdawg062902 the metal plate says that it works with any cookware. So I assumed it meant any cookware. I just believe it doesn't get enough heat transfer through the plate to cook anything.
@jakatak69 So, this product doesn't work for one thing. Boiling water was extremely fast and I'm sure it can heat, fry, or cook a lot of other things very quickly as well. My point is, don't bash the product because it did ONE thong wrong, excluding the metal plate of course. :P
@jakatak69 Thanks for the response!! I really appreciate all of your product reviews!! I was really interested in this product, but I think I can definitely do without now!!! Doin' the Lazy man's lasagna tonight!! Can't wait till the next episode!!
I think you're looking at the magnetic/induction the wrong way. You bought a different brand, but maybe, they don't know how to build a proper heating plate. I think you can get a VERY decent one, if you spend just a little more cash. Because there is definitely some brand out there, that can heat metal the right way, and evenly as well... Don't give it up so quickly jack!
@jakatak69 And while i am at it, Remember, this is great for someone who doesn't have much room for Anything. But i very much agree on this very brand does have a ridiculous size to efficiency ratio. But if you lived in a small apartment, this covers the basic! you don't need need king sized cookware of course, so with a small pot and pan, this is perfect! Maybe, if i was to live for myself, i think i would have two plates, a big pot, a small bot and a pan! They can easily be stored away!
a couple things I noticed... one Induction seems to only affect the area where the action is taking place. That being said, it appears to work great with a pot since it fills the area perfectly. Anything bigger and it would not work since the outer edges are not being magnetized. Last thing... You stated you could not even boil water with it and yet it DID manaage to boil water better than your stove :)
Jack, one lesson of life :P Whenever in a informercial someone is talking about a scientific phenomenon like the magnetic bull crap ... ITS BULLSHIT !!!!
@jakatak69 What is wrong with you? The boil water test was excellent! The only reason you sent it back was because you had the eggs on THE LOWEST SETTING!!! Made absolutely NO sense what so ever. That plate absolutely killed it I agree, but if your in college, your only going to use 1 pan anyways. Worst review EVER!
@NintendoFansUSA dude. I first filmed it on 5 setting and it burned the eggs and the outside was raw. so I had to film on low. That was the only setting the eggs wouldn't burn in the middle. I mean black burnt with smoke in the kitchen.
The only reason why the water did not boil with the transferer is because the pot that you where using was already induction, that means that the magnetic feilds had to get through double the iron.
Jack isn't that kind of an odd place to have your washer and drier? I guess i never noticed them behind you before if that is what those are. Odd place for that to be though if it is, in the kitchen? >.>
I have build-in induction system of the brand Bosch in my kitchen! It is the most fantastic and safest way to cook! The only issue is the pots and pans are soooooo expensive! But all by all, I am so happy with induction.
I want you to make a video of hitting the inventor with that metal plate. To me, the only thing that plate is good for is a target for my bb gun. How much was it?
@KARLO1ROCKS filmed it first on level 5 and burnt the eggs in the middle and raw on outside. So I refilmed it on low hoping to get the outside cooked. NOT!
@jakatak69 I would imagine that a smaller pan would work for the eggs. If that's the case they shouldn't say any pan. They should say use a specific size. So it is a FAIL!
@djteac you are so right. Except the unit doesn't turn on unless there is cookware on the surface. It just beeps a warning at you and shuts down. thanks for your input
Haha! Damn, I didn't know Jack had a lot of nut-huggers. Anyway, I'm not going to ruin anymore of your "fun" with Jack. So just because he said this and that, you believe him? Well, that's your call. I won't go about how his test prove nothing about this product, just take a look at some of the previous comments.
I've unsubscribed and won't be bothering you guys again.
Get your attention up and listen to what jack said in this videos!what the hecks is with all those ill-manners comments and hate comments... especially horsinoff.. it would be good if he go Horse-ing off and dont ever come back to jack's channel. =)
Jack wanted to Test 3 things. Boil water twice as fast as on stove on the induction cooktop, omelete-find if there is hot spot on the induction cooktop,see if the temperature goes to 450 degrees to sear meat.
Jack, induction works fine with the right cookware. I know a magnet will stick to the ones you were using, but what is really important is HOW ferromagnetic your pans are. Cast iron works best, but stainless will also work, and even different types of stainless are different, 80/0 being best for induction cooking.
The pans you were using look to be mostly aluminum, perhaps with a steel disk in the bottom. This was not a fair test.
@CorneliusSneedley what we need is a cooktop that is fast,easy to use. who the hell wants a cooktop that needs you to buy so many special pans just to cook on it??wouldn't it be better if we just using a regular stove instead?cheaper,less money used on special pans.
@derekbegins If you already have decent pans, you're already all set. As demonstrated with the water boiling test, these ARE fast and easy to use. An induction unit like this is a fairly serious outlay for personal use, and I would think that most people who would consider buying one would already have good cookware. If you don't see the need to buy good pans, you can always use a burner like this that uses butane, it just won't heat as fast.
Jack u big fat dummie, you don't cook a decent omelette on low with a shiity $8 pan you found at walmart. Don't blame this fine cooking appliance for the shiitty performance of your ghetto frying pan.
The boiling water test ALONE makes it worth buying. Are you fuucking kidding me with this?
I don't know about you man but sometimes I wonder how you ever graduated high school.
You shouldn't be embarrassed because of the the performance of the appliance, but how stupid you come off. (jesus)
Blame fatso for using the $8 pan that lacks aluminum sandwiching for even heating and being too lazy to do basic reading of the instructions that explains this.
@horsinoff dont go calling people fatso for no reason.stop being an idiot here. if you wanna start something,go else where. jack doesn't even welcome some ill mannered kid.. come back once you learn your manners from your mom.
@horsinoff like i said dont go calling people fatso for no reason.
also i have no idea what you learn in school!you start calling people names because of their size.know your manners.the price of the pan doesn't matter. dumb. you can go buy a $100 pan & it still cook food the same.the flavor don't change.if you like the product so much,go get it?who the hell wants a induction cooker just to boil some water?i should be the one that "jesus" you because you are freaking ill-mannered.go to hell.
@horsinoff Yes! I ABSOLUTELY agree with you, horsinoff! This video has ABSOLUTELY inspired me to go out and spend $165 on a device that will boil water really quickly and.....ummm.....well, that's about all it does. But STILL! In this economy, I have money just pouring out of my pockets! In fact, I think I'll just flush a couple hundreds down the toilet to make more room in my wallet. That'd serve about the same purpose, in my opinion.
I have a large Induction cooktop in my home and it works extrimely well... (I had a gas cooktop in my last appartment but now I wouldn't go back... )For the omelet test I think the problem was that the pan was too big and stove too small mine is a size of a normal coock top divided in to 4 squares so there is a lot of reacting surface.
Looks like a lot of the watchers got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
If you listen to what he said when he was doing the eggs, he said he was going to test for hot spots, which means you wouldn't want to move the eggs around.
Wow! Duh! The pan you used is a factor in how it transmits heat. You should know that from having done a magnetic test in the beginning. It would have been interesting for you to move a magnet around the bottom of the pan - it could have been that the core of the pan was only as large as what you saw in the demo for the eggs. And why did you use the lowest setting and then get upset when it didn't cook faster? And why to you think all those folks on amazon loved it?

good quality video, but INDUCTION COOK TOPS ARE COOL. yours has small coil.
Reddylion 1 year ago
induction cooktops are really cool, we have one too, but the problem on that one is that the coil area just is too small :/ ... if you have one with bigger cooking areas, it'll be the best you ever had :D its like a gas stove just electric and its soooo much faster :D

I got similar one from a german supermarket for around 30$. In fact it seems to be identical in construction. And i have the same problem that the heat is only in the center. But for that price it's ok, in fact i think it's way better than using a regular electronic stove. Yes a gas one would perform better but i haven't one, since there is no gas line here. And i think it's the same as with other electronic devices. You must do a little research bevore buying since there is so much crap onthe..

Hi Jack, i have a stove i guess, that uses magnetism as the heat source. It's like your average stovetop, just better, thing is... theese induction stovetops (like the one you show here) don't have half the power of a real one, I recommend you to buy one with magnets next time you buy a stove.

Kevin8700 1 year ago
@jakatak69 I'm not familiar with the particular model you used, but I would imagine that if you turned it on past "the lowest possible setting" it would automatically activate the outer ring. Maybe if you read the directions before they became corrections you would have known that. Additionally, I recently priced these things for my job and $165 is the price of a fly-by-night piece of crap. You essentially paid for a Kia and were surprised that it didn't drive like a Koenigsegg.

@jakatak69 Jack, i dont knw why are ppl complaining abt Induction cookware. Personally, i used induction for like 2 yrs? maybe~ I like it really much. It works on certain magnetizable metal, n it heats only the bottom, only a ring, nt a full circle. it's awesome for fast boiling, stew, mainly food with more liquid. I love it!! It's only bad for frying, cuz it doesnt really heat evenly thruout the bottom.
Btw, big fan!! ^^

@jakatak69 Btw, Jack. I hate the hotplate, nth like that comes with induction cooktops my place. N the omelette thing, u gotta turn up the heat a little, n stir in the curds as u go, n swirling the pan, that is if u wanna cook an omelette with it. I'd prefer a stove. It's only ideal for boiling, i love it!! It saves up time, especially when i'm cooking pasta. Again, only the boiling part. I'd hv a proper gas stove as my main, with the induction at the side, for stews or soups, boiling stuffs.

I have a 7 "burner" siemens induction cook-top for over 2 years now and I have never ever had a problem with it, it is amazing, it cooks faster and it's easier to clean. The only downside is that you can't use all pots on it, but it does cook the egg perfectly and the only thing I can say about the cook-top you bought is that the brand probably doesn't make good ones.
swiftkillah313 1 year ago
@swiftkillah313 it seems like the whole stove top inductions work fine. All the single units fail. So basically spend 2000 on a good stove top. That defeats the purpose of having it for camping or for the show.

seriously stop the argument about the induction cookware. or how jack didnt do it right or anything. it would be so much freakin easier to use a stove as you could control the fire freely then pressing the buttons wasting your time to "heat" the outer panel or whatever just to cook somethin quick and simple?
oh and you have to waste electricity just to cook something on the stove when you could use gas instead? =/

Hi Jack!! Love the shows btw!! I notice you were having problems with the metal plate. Just wondering if it was because you were trying to use it with a pan that already works on the magnetic surface? Maybe it only works with pans that magnets don't stick to? Did you ever find out why it didn't work so well?
tdawg062902 1 year ago
@tdawg062902 the metal plate says that it works with any cookware. So I assumed it meant any cookware. I just believe it doesn't get enough heat transfer through the plate to cook anything.
jakatak69 1 year ago
@jakatak69 So, this product doesn't work for one thing. Boiling water was extremely fast and I'm sure it can heat, fry, or cook a lot of other things very quickly as well. My point is, don't bash the product because it did ONE thong wrong, excluding the metal plate of course. :P

tdawg062902 1 year ago
I think you're looking at the magnetic/induction the wrong way. You bought a different brand, but maybe, they don't know how to build a proper heating plate. I think you can get a VERY decent one, if you spend just a little more cash. Because there is definitely some brand out there, that can heat metal the right way, and evenly as well... Don't give it up so quickly jack!

@jakatak69 And while i am at it, Remember, this is great for someone who doesn't have much room for Anything. But i very much agree on this very brand does have a ridiculous size to efficiency ratio. But if you lived in a small apartment, this covers the basic! you don't need need king sized cookware of course, so with a small pot and pan, this is perfect! Maybe, if i was to live for myself, i think i would have two plates, a big pot, a small bot and a pan! They can easily be stored away!

a couple things I noticed... one Induction seems to only affect the area where the action is taking place. That being said, it appears to work great with a pot since it fills the area perfectly. Anything bigger and it would not work since the outer edges are not being magnetized. Last thing... You stated you could not even boil water with it and yet it DID manaage to boil water better than your stove :)

jakatak69 1 year ago
The only reason why the water did not boil with the transferer is because the pot that you where using was already induction, that means that the magnetic feilds had to get through double the iron.

jakatak69 1 year ago
Its dangerous if you turn it on WITHOUT a pan on it. Because then the strong magnetic field gets way bigger.
So never turn on an induction cooking field without something on top of it.
And the Egg Problem is, from the size of your induction stove, it is way to small.
The good ones usually are wider. A good one is about 300-400bucks !!
So its not a problem with the induction cooking, its one with that device you tested.
But those heat transfer plates all suck. It defies the idea of induction

Jack wanted to Test 3 things. Boil water twice as fast as on stove on the induction cooktop, omelete-find if there is hot spot on the induction cooktop,see if the temperature goes to 450 degrees to sear meat.
Stop making hate.brainless comments!
derekbegins 1 year ago
Jack, induction works fine with the right cookware. I know a magnet will stick to the ones you were using, but what is really important is HOW ferromagnetic your pans are. Cast iron works best, but stainless will also work, and even different types of stainless are different, 80/0 being best for induction cooking.
The pans you were using look to be mostly aluminum, perhaps with a steel disk in the bottom. This was not a fair test.
CorneliusSneedley 1 year ago
@CorneliusSneedley what we need is a cooktop that is fast,easy to use. who the hell wants a cooktop that needs you to buy so many special pans just to cook on it??wouldn't it be better if we just using a regular stove instead?cheaper,less money used on special pans.
derekbegins 1 year ago
@derekbegins If you already have decent pans, you're already all set. As demonstrated with the water boiling test, these ARE fast and easy to use. An induction unit like this is a fairly serious outlay for personal use, and I would think that most people who would consider buying one would already have good cookware. If you don't see the need to buy good pans, you can always use a burner like this that uses butane, it just won't heat as fast.
