The alternatives

Other contenders

  • Vollrath Mirage Pro 59500P

    Choose the Vollrath Mirage Pro 59500P when finer power adjustments matter: it has 100 power levels and separate power and temperature modes. It needs a dedicated circuit and is for commercial foodservice, with household, industrial and laboratory use excluded.35

  • Waring WIH400X Single Heavy-Duty Induction Range

    Choose the WIH400X when you want temperature settings and a longer timer. It has twelve settings from 120°F to 500°F and a ten-hour timer.2

Buying advice

  • Use these ranges indoors. Keep both Waring models off stainless steel or other metal worktops. For the WIH400X, use an induction-ready pan with a flat bottom between 4.75 and 10 inches across.12457
