Every kitchen should have this!
It is great for quick browning, soups, stews, anything!
I love it. It does not heat the kitchen up like a conventional stove or oven.
I have a Wolf stove and I rarely use it now since I bought my Viking induction burner.
Easy to clean, makes life much easier:)

I own many Viking appliances so I knew that although expensive, the induction burner would be a good product. It is fantastic. It looks and feels like a quality product and works flawlessly. I agree with the other reviewers who gushed about the burner. I only use the stove when I need to be cooking two things simultaneously. Foods are at cooking temperature instantly, cook quickly and once the unit is turned off it is instantly cool, a big hit for those of us without air conditioned homes. I like the energy efficiency of it as well. I can cook real food on the burner much more quickly than I could microwave fake food.
One warning: the burner will only work with pans with enough iron to generate the magnetism that creates the heat. I have had to buy additional pots and pans because my expensive Swiss set did not work. I have had excellent success with the Maubiel brand of pots and pans. Look for "induction ready" pans.

This product ROCKS! I don't know how I lived without this Viking portable induction cooktop. It looks great, functions beautifully and even the knob has a high quality 'feel' to it.
I'm looking forward to years of use.

I've been using the Viking Portable Electric Induction Cooker (15x12-in.) since October 2008. It is fantastic. There are some limits, for example, no Le Creuset will work on it, and Staub works intermittently. But all Lodge work fine (both regular cast iron, and their enameled which has a better cooking surface than the more expensive brands), as will any carbon steel. Pretty much any pan or pat that a magnet can stick to strongly will work. The high is much hotter than a normal cooktop, and the low is lower. With induction, the amount of heating changes the instant you change the power. I have more control over heating than with gas now. The traditional-style control knob is essential, I think. I would not want to be tapping little buttons in the middle of a sauté. Cleans like a charm. It sits on top of my old electric range, which I never use.

Like everyone else looking at induction it is a fantastic tool for any kitchen. We received our first Viking unit and put it to use to boil some water. My wife and son quickly complained the unit was putting out a nausiating odor. I called Viking and with no hesitation they sent me another one. This one also is putting out the same nausiating odor. Viking is standing behind the unit as I send the second unit back. I hope we get the odor problem cleaned up because I like the unit.
