Drinkpod Cheftop Induction Cooktop

Yes, because this is an induction cooktop, it only works with magnetic-compatible cookware. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of your pot or pan, it will work perfectly on this unit.

Yes, the Drinkpod Cheftop is designed to run both burners simultaneously. Keep in mind that the total power output is 1800 watts, so the unit will manage the power distribution between the two burners when both are in use.

The vertical layout is excellent for saving counter space, but it does mean your pots will be positioned one in front of the other. It works best with standard-sized cookware; using two very large stockpots simultaneously may feel a bit crowded.

The surface is very easy to maintain because induction technology heats the cookware, not the glass itself, so spills are less likely to burn on. Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth or a non-abrasive cleaner once the surface has cooled.

This model is designed specifically as a portable countertop appliance and does not require permanent installation. It is ideal for dorms, offices, or as an auxiliary cooking surface, but it is not intended to be built into a countertop.

With nine distinct power settings, you have a good range of control for everything from a gentle simmer to a rapid boil. While it lacks the infinite dial control of a high-end gas range, the digital interface provides consistent, repeatable heat levels.
