iPortable Induction Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having owned a 5 zone induction cooktop imported from the UK in my previous home, I was already spoiled and no stranger to the responsiveness, efficiency, and pure power of induction cooking as well as the different brand units out there. I was a tad nervous about plunking down $500 for a single induction burner, however, this little workhorse has proven to be one of the most joyously hard working appliances in this old kitchen being used exclusively now while the archaic smooth top stove sits cool and idle.
The heat settings on this unit are spontaneous and responsive with a range that will shame your pro-gas stove or cooktop for putting a perfect sear on a roast and boiling a large pot of water lightening fast, plus all settings in between that are dead on accurate as well as a setting low enough to be used as a hot plate. And all this can be done anywhere, even outdoors. What a concept!
I highly recommend this Viking cooker if you are considering bringing induction into your home and would like a test drive a unit that is truly top notch and representative of the genre.
***Important to remember with all induction cooktops is your cookware must be ferrous or magnetic. You can test your pots and pan bottoms with an ordinary kitchen magnet. Cast iron and enameled steel work wonderfully on induction and now there are many cookware manufacturers producing lines of stainless steel that are induction capable.

Viking VGCC5484GQSS 48 Professional Series Sealed Burner Gas Range Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My neighbor has had a 48" Viking dual oven range using propane for about 3 years. He is an excellent cook and technically very savvy. Last weekend he was slow-roasting a brisket when his wife noticed a fire in the oven. Apparently (according to the Viking rep), the gas delivery solenoid had stuck open. After they turned the gas off (they thought) and extinguished the flames and removed the charred brisket, they closed the oven. A bit later he opened the oven door and turned the gas on to see if he could determine what had happened. The resulting fireball trimmed his eyelashes, eyebrows and the hair off one arm and burned his face a bit. Reflecting on it later, he was glad that he had checked the oven, rather than letting the house fill with gas as they slept. The propane smell had been completely overwhelmed by that of the burned brisket. The Viking people were extremely solicitous and the tech who arrived within hours diagnosed the stuck solenoid as though he had seen such before...
This is no apocryphal story; I have seen the charred oven, which is being replaced gratis.
