Equator Induction Cooktop

Yes, because this is an induction cooktop, you must use cookware that is magnetic. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of your pot or pan, it will work perfectly on this surface.

While it is designed for indoor use, its portable, lightweight build makes it suitable for covered outdoor areas like a patio or campsite, provided you have access to a standard 110V power outlet.

The cooktop features six distinct heat levels, allowing you to adjust the power output to suit different cooking tasks, from a gentle simmer to a rapid boil. It does not display specific temperature degrees, but the levels provide consistent, repeatable heat settings.

The ceramic glass surface is very easy to maintain. Since the surface itself doesn't get hot in the same way a traditional electric coil does, spills and splatters are less likely to bake on, allowing you to simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth once it cools.

Safety is built-in with integrated overheat and voltage protection. These features automatically monitor the unit to prevent damage from power surges or excessive heat, ensuring reliable performance during use.

The built-in timer is quite flexible, allowing you to set it anywhere from 1 minute up to 180 minutes, which is helpful for slow-cooking or ensuring you don't accidentally leave the burner on.
