INDUCTION COOKTOP (magnetic)

Jack Scalfani tests out new cooking technology called Induction Cooking. It's cooking on a magnetic surface making the pan heating up without heating up the surface of the cooktop. It's crazy. Check it out and be sure to subscribe.

He bought the Max Burton induction cooktop at Amazon.com and tested it with boiling water and frying eggs to see if it stands up to it's claims.

Wow jack. A ton of ppl r dissing u in the comments! As for me, i thot it was a great video and a great review. I always trust your reviews :)

[jakatak69]

@xoerry101ox I know, but I showed the proof in the video. There are a lot of induction cookware fanboys. LOL

Here is a quick summary of your review:

1. It works@# 2 times as fast as normal stove!!!

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!

[jakatak69]

@dll31p There was no larger ring setting.

[Firter]

you didnt turn on the outer rings, thats why it didnt work with the plate..

[sonicman26]

OMG can you put you hand on it? like in the video

[KyleMPulley]

he didn't know how to use it...lol

[fdsman]

@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.

Jack, uhhh the Iphone 4s came out in 2011 right? How come you got it in 2010?

[uneeeek]

That brand suckss mine works perfect!!

Good review!! I learned somethintg I didn't get at other sites.

Do makers of the induction stoves show the size of the ring in their specs?

@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.

lol, at least i can make ramon soups on the go, it would be great for that, thanks jak.

[Kapunas]

Awesome...Laundry and Cooking in the same room. I can just imagine you using those knifes and stir spoons for a great load of laundry. Classic.

[Nimmanhemin17]

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.
