The cooking speed, energy efficiency and safety features would appeal to any cook, but for the geek-leaning-gourmet it’s powerfully seductive. A week of meals prepared on the Fagor Portable Induction Cooktop all came out famously. At least 10 minutes was shaved off the Irish porridge ritual and about the same for a pot of evenly cooked Greek lima beans. Coho Salmon shallow-poached in white wine, mustard and blood orange juice benefited from the ability to shift from low to a higher heat fast for sauce reduction.  This cooktop is portable and surprisingly light. Since it’s not a burner that would scorch stray food it cleans with a wipe. This induction cooktop is going to stay very busy as an alternate cooking unit, a warmer and as the trusty to-go cooker for the summer rental.  (14" x 12" x 2¾")
