This portable cooktop is perfect for camping, barbecues, or whenever you need extra burners for a special occasion. The True Induction TI-2C Cooktop is portable and energy-efficient. Unlike the TI-2B that is meant to be inset into your countertop, this unit is portable and can be placed wherever you have an outlet. True Inductions power technology allows for more energy-efficient cooking by allowing the burners to split wattage between the left and right sides . The ease of use and safety features included in the True Induction line of cooktops makes them perfect for hotels and assisted living facilities. The nature of induction means the unit consumes far less electricity than traditional stoves. Induction requires pots and pans that are made of ferrous (meaning magnetic) materials. Check your cookware's retail box for the induction symbol. To tell if your current cookware is compatible with the induction technology, grab a magnet and see if it holds to the bottom of the cookware. If your magnet stays then your cookware is ready to be used on True Induction cooktops! Optimal cookware has a flat bottom and a diameter of 4.5'' -­ 10'' inches.

This process enables rapid heating times with cookware heating evenly in 45 seconds and water boiling in 90 seconds.True Induction now includes a premium carry bag to protect your TI-2C cooktop during transport and storage.
