Cuisinart ICT-60 Double Induction Cooktop, Black

Cuisinart customer service enables me to give this product five stars even though the first unit I purchased did not last quite two years. The on off switch on the big burner stopped working 23 months after I purchased it. However, Cuisinart customer service immediately agreed to replace the unit and in less than a week I had a brand new cooktop. The cooktop has a three year warranty, which I did not realize until I called Cuisinart. As to the unit itself, the big burner on the left is the hot burner and the one I use the most frequently. As other reviewers have stated, when you have both burners on at the same time, neither one seems to operate at full temperature. But I’ve been able to work with that. It’s been an excellent replacement for the propane stove that I have used for years. I really appreciate that. It does not put any heat into my kitchen, and there are no fumes from the propane stove. So it is more environmentally sound.

My kitchen is small and my electric stove throws too much heat. So happy I found this unit. Works great. As some other reviewers have mentioned, it does make a pulsing noise but in my experience noise reduces with pot/pan placement adjustment and isn’t bothersome. It works really well and doesn’t throw heat around. During operation, area around perimeter of cooktop stays largely cool since heat is efficiently transferred to pots/pans. Still adjusting to it shutting off when I lift the pan while cooking but it’s a nice safety feature and it comes back on once contact is restored. Enjoying the timer function more than I expected too. Looks nice and easy to clean.

We bought this cooktop four years ago. Overall it's been a powerful workhorse, used at least once if not four or five times a day for our family of four. We've made huge pots of soup and endless pasta, made pancakes on two cast iron pans at once, seared tofu deliciously, quickly stir-fried vegetables in our big wok, delicately caramelized onions, and deep-fried latkes and doughnuts. The glass has never chipped, and no one's ever burnt a finger or accidentally toasted a wooden spoon the way we did back when we cooked with gas. That said, since we've had it for so long I've had the opportunity to test its durability. Over time the plastic edges on the sides haven't held up as well as the glass cooktop itself. Cracks developed after a couple of years and now several pieces of the plastic on the left side have broken off. This hasn't compromised its safety or prevented us from using it but it's probably not an issue you'd run into with a cooktop with a completely glass top or a metal surround. We've also run into some technical bugs - an occasional beep when it's not in use, whether something is on top of it or not, and more recently, an issue where when you turn it on, the right side beeps, blinks the word "off," then has to be turned on again. Given that it's endured such heavy use these too are not big problems. Sound-wise, it's not super loud on its own but if you're also using a ventilation hood, the combined noise level can be pretty high. Note that it will work best for you and stay quiet if you periodically turn it over and clean the vents/fan grills on the bottom; these can get dusty and greasy if neglected and that dust can produce a burning smell, and, I imagine, an eventual safety issue. If you've never used a double burner induction stove before, note that the overall power is limited so that if you are using both sides, you won't be able to work them both at their maximum capacity (with this unit, that's a level 8 on the left, level 5 on the right). This can be an issue if you're, say, trying to bring a big pot to boil on the left, while quickly pan-frying something on the right, so if you're accustomed to cooking with gas, you'll need to be a little more thoughtful about your pan sizes and how you time things. Highly recommend this unit though, whether you're new to induction cooking or not - it gives you a lot of power and great results, for a very reasonable price. We've absolutely loved it.

Got this to replace another one that broke after dropping it on the floor. I loved the old one so much, I didn't even look for an alternate, I bought the exact same model. Works great.

Very easy to use controls, sturdy, very easy to clean; unlike the made-up/fictitious name unit I previously ordered with difficult controls and variable results and NO US certifications at all!!! When running, it smelled of burning electrical components! The Cuisinart had no odor. It is also made in China but to Cuisinart and US specifications. Stick with name brands in appliances!

We have migrated through all types of cooktops and settled on induction. I have them in my main home, in the vacation home and RV. This unit was purchased for our RV because we just won't use the LP gas stove. We had been using a 1500W Nuwave single burner induction cooker. Saw the dual burner Cuisinart and thought it would be ideal to sit on top of the unused LP gas stovetop...and it fits well. Problem? The Cuisinart is a dual burner unit but maxes out at 1500 watts - with 2 burners. I don't know (didn't look) at the separation of the wattages but whatever it is both burners aren't any good for anything other than maybe a slow saute or something like that. Tried making fried rice last night...won't work..it won't "fry", it won't get hot enough even on the hot burner (repeated failures). It takes forever to bring water to boil in a teapot...not right. We are going to give the cooktop away because it just doesn't have enough power to do anything but minimal cooking chores. We are going back to our 1500W Nuwave single cooker. It's unfortunate and a big waste of money, but, we learned about using induction cookers on limited power (1500W)...it can only be one burner.

This is the 3rd one I've purchased over probably at least 15 years, and I love it. Even bought one for my mother. Easy to control cooking temperature and time as you cook, and so easy to clean. I use it all the time and actually prefer it to my regular stove. Finally a product that does what is advertises and is top quality! Thank you Cuisinart!

So happy with this two burner induction stove. Works well. Maybe a tad noisy but overall I couldn’t be happier. Relieved now that I have alternative to my gas stove. And it turns out I never really used all four gas burners so two is just fine. Also super pleased with Cuisinart Customer Service. Helped me very quickly. and I I am now a loyal Cuisinart customer. (Also love their toaster oven air fryer) A big thank you to Nikka who took care of my issue in a most satisfactory way.

This is an additional cooktop which can be used even in the garage or inside gazebo to avoid filling your house with different smells of searing bacon or onion or others.

Me gustó mucho que calienta muy rápido, incluyendo si usas sartenes u ollas de hierro forjado. Lo que no me gustó es que no alcanzas temperaturas tan altas con ollas grandes como con una estufa de gas. Sin embargo, cumple perfecto con todo lo que se necesita de ella y si la combinas con una olla de presión eléctrica o una olla de cocción lenta, francamente no necesitas nada más.

Still learning. I have made poached eggs, heated up soups and pasta sauce, browned meat, brazed vegetables and meats.

Estoy contenta con el funcionamiento. No tiene las mismas prestaciones que mi antigua estufa de inducción Henkel, pero funciona bien. Lo que fue una decepción total fueron las medidas que están en la publicación porque son del paquete , NO de la estufa y yo la compré para sustituir una de esas medidas

Resulta que cuando se cumple el tiempo del temporizador, no se apaga la inducción. Solo lanza unos pitidos. Esto es terrible, pues si no estás pendiente, sigue trabajando, y al consumirse el liquido, la olla se pone al rojo vivo. No sirve de nada así el temporizador.
