Questions & Answers

Do you need specific pots and pans to cook with?

ByJan 3, 2026

1 Answer |

Answer This Question

Hi Joan, Since induction heats the pot directly, the pot's quality is key. We highly recommend using one with a thick, flat base (like cast iron or heavy-gauge stainless steel). For optimal performance, ensure your skillet's base is at least 4.7 inches in diameter. This design spreads the heat sideways, preventing hot spots. For the best results, always begin by preheating your pan on a medium setting(not high setting) to ensure even cooking from the start. If you'd like assistance with any other features, feel free to contact us at Email: SUPPORT@EMPAVA.COM --we are happy to help.

The description for this unit seems to focus on warming and simmering. Will it boil water in a pan sized 10” or less?

ByDec 3, 2025

Answer This Question

Hi Robin, Yes, it will boil water in a pan sized 10" or less. This unit provides a wide temperature range (120°F to 460°F) and power from 200W to 1800W, which is more than sufficient for boiling.

If the width is 11 inches, the heating coil can not be 11" as you falsely claim! The size of the unit must be larger that the size of the heating coil! So what is the true size of the coil? Most are 6 inches which is the size of a small burner on a stove.

BySep 14, 2025

1 Answer |

Answer This Question

Hey there, While this induction cooktop's heating zone is 5-6 inches, the heat will conduct outward through your pan's material - so a 11" pan will work but with less efficiency as only the center receives direct electromagnetic heating. For best results, we recommend using pans between 4.7-10.8 inches, or considering our Model EMPV-12EC07 with bridge function that combines 2-burners to better accommodate larger cookware. The actual heat distribution depends on your pan's material (copper/aluminum cores spread heat better than pure stainless steel). To better assist you with this concern, please don't hesitate to get in touch with The Home Depot Customer Service Department at SUPPORT@EMPAVA.COM. A member of this team will help you solve this problem soon. Thank you!

What type of power supply would u need to use this

ByMay 27, 2025

1 Answer |

Answer This Question

Hey there! After viewing the manual, we were able to see that this induction cooktop come with a 120V AC plug. The Type B electrical socket (American standard NEMA 5-15) has two flat parallel pins and a round earth pin. The earth pin is longer than the flat pins so that the appliance is grounded before the power is applied. Thank you!

I would like to know what size the heating element is - in other words, can I use a 10 inch pot on it?

ByJan 9, 2025

1 Answer |

Answer This Question

Hi BonnyB, Thank you for reaching out with your question regarding our 11-inch single heating element induction cooktop. While the minimum pot size compatible with this cooktop is 4.7 inches, we recommend not exceeding a maximum pot size of 10 inches for optimal performance. If you frequently use larger pots, we recommend considering our Model # EMPV-12EC07 Store SKU # 1012242657 Dual Heating Element Induction Cooktop. This model features a Bridge element, allowing you to combine two heating zones for larger cookware or griddles. It also offers the flexibility to cook two separate dishes simultaneously. Please feel free to contact us at SUPPORT@EMPAVA.COM, if you have further questions or need assistance in choosing the right product for your needs. Thank you!

Small learning curve but great product

Have been using this for 18 months now and half the time we don't even use our gas range Top burgers anymore. There was a short learning curve in the first month and since then we love it.

Sep 12, 2024

Fast, precise and timer controlled.

This is a great item even if you have a gas range. I was on the fence, until a friend mentioned something that completely sold me. It has a built-in timer that can turn off the burner automatically. With my gas stove, I’d often set something like rice to simmer, get distracted, and come back to a mess because I forgot to turn off the heat. Now, with the induction cooktop, I just boil the water, set it to simmer on low (lowest wattage for 1 serving of rice), set the timer, and it shuts itself off when it’s done. I've struggled with making jasmine rice for some reason until I got this. The cooktop also heats water very fast thanks to the induction technology, and the precise temperature control makes cooking much easier. I've sauteed veggies perfectly on it, and it's so much more flexible than investing in a separate rice cooker or crockpot. Plus, since I already use mostly stainless steel and cast iron, it worked with most of my cookware except some older aluminum pots and pans. The portability is another huge plus. In the summer I'll cook fish outside on the propane grill to keep the house from smelling like seafood, and now I can easily take this lightweight, powerful cooktop outside without needing to fire up and then clean a big grill or making sure I have enough propane. Overall, this has been such a convenient addition to my kitchen!

Great cooking technology

This was used right on the kitchen countertop and worked better than I expected. The first thing that impressed me is how fast the pot or pan gets hot, it’s almost instantaneous. The first thing I cooked was some ramen noodles and it cooked faster than the gas burner I normally use. The unit has the ability to control the wattage from 100 to 1800 watts so you can adjust as the cooking requires. Once you cook certain items with a certain pan or pot you can then remember the wattage so you can cook the same food consistently. The other great feature is the timer function which will turn off the unit. It also has some safety features which can lockout the buttons to prevent accidental changes. The unit is very easy to clean and looks really sharp. Please keep in mind that you do have to use pots or pans that are compatible with an induction cooktop. This is a different cooking technology that works really good once you’re familiar with it. The glass surface is easy to wipe down making clean up a breeze. The unit is also light weight and can easily be moved to another location.

Small but mighty

With the small size and low price of this induction cooktop, I figured I’d use it as a warming plate for buffet service, but soon realized it was so much more! Induction burners induce a magnetic field in compatible (usually iron, steel, or copper clad) cookware, heating the pan and its contents without the surface itself getting hot. This model has some additional niceties, including the options to cook by temperature, wattage, or several application-specific presets, like melting butter. It also has a timer, a hot-surface warning, and safety features to assure that it doesn’t turn on without an appropriate bit of cookware in place. It’s quick, too!; at its highest (1800 watt) setting, it brought an uncovered pint of room-temperature water to a rolling boil in 2:45. By comparison, my gas range took over three times as long to reach the rolling boil point. With fewer hot spots under the pan, bacon seemed to fry up with less spattering, and the cool(-er) surfaces made clean up quick and easy. My complaints are few and minor: It came with a sticker affixed to the top, warning of a potentially hot surface, and this sticker was not easily removed. The smooth top control panel was perfect for capturing and displaying fingerprints, though clean-up was pretty painless. I would have also appreciated a place to coil or store any surplus power cord, beyond the reach of splashes and spatters, though none of those things detract from this being a five-star, phenomenally useful product!

Fantastic Induction stove

I never use more than on stove for cooking so my first impressions are that it is perfectly adequate for cooking even with larger pots. With 1800watts (15 amps) this stovetop is no joke. Taking it out of the packaging, it looks classy, sturdy and well made, yet refined, glossy and contemporary and somehow you would think that it would lack much capacity. Instead, it heats up in an instant. Literally, an instant. Fry eggs, turn it on and in 3 seconds the inner surface of the pan is hot enough to heat up the butter and fry it. I never had an induction stovetop for one main reason - prices were prohibitively high. this one however is such a bargain that I just can't miss. Besides, I never use PTFE/PFOA/PFAS pans, only stainless steel and they are both practically made for each other. Cooking experience is overall shortened a lot, no down time for waiting it to heat up or cool down. You can literally put your hands on it - only thing that heats up is your pan. It is so much safer around kids, or small spaces where you constantly risk touching it while moving things around. I particularly liked the sensing technology which immediately turns it off when the pan/pot is removed. Even with the cooling fan at the bottom, it is very quiet, and with the customizable touch temp setting at the highest it emits no humming or buzzing sound. The tempered glass top is thick enough to withstand occasion glass drops and scuffs and cleans very easy with just a damp cloth. It's a phenomenal product, well designed and build and at a great price, without the complications involving regular electric stove top with a standard heating element. Not only this is next level in technology, it is also next level in practicality and functionality.

Way more useful than we imagined!

We LOVE this portable range top! The size and light weight of this appliance makes it truly portable yet it we've found it great for daily use as well. We include a couple of our favorite compatible pots and pans whenever it leaves the house since not all cookware contains iron. Since it uses induction, a magnet needs to be able to stick to any cookware used. The cooking surface is glass so we've kept the box and packaging and it can travel with us without fear of damage. The fact that it can utilize anywhere between 100 and 1800 watts in 100 watt increments and we can change the power output instantly provides excellent control of the cooking process. During hot weather we use this in our home kitchen daily to keep from heating the kitchen during the air conditioning season. We haven't utilized the temperature setting yet, but I'm certain that will work well.

Well-made induction cookto--cooks evenly and quickly

This portable cooktop is definitely well-made, and looks great out of the box. It is a nice size to fit on any countertop. It comes with a detailed instruction manual that provides the different cook modes and special modes (melt, keep warm, and simmer). Our first use was to cook 6 scrambled eggs, with a bit of milk and some shredded cheese. The manual tells you about the power levels (100-1800 watts) but doesn't recommend any settings to use for a particular item or purpose. We guessed at 1200 watts, put the frying pan on the burner, then poured the egg with milk into the pan, cold from the fridge. That was a perfect level, as the eggs cooked fully in about 2 1/2 minutes without burning. The burner appeared to heat the pan evenly--there were no obvious areas that were less hot during cooking. We had finished eggs much more quickly than our glass cooktop range would do. The display shows the watt level when set, but it will go into standby mode until the cooktop senses a pan on it. If no pan is placed on it, it will go unto standby mode (showing a u and a dash and beeping) for 30 seconds before turning off. It shows an H after use until the surface is cool again. You do need to have a magnetic pan for the cooktop (or any induction burner) to work--our older RevereWare pans are some sort of clad alloy and do not work). Overall, this is an excellent product that is well-made, functions well, cooks evenly and quickly, and should serve its owners well. DUrability is obviously an unknown, but the build quality bodes well for a long life.

Perfect versatile and multi use electric cook plate.

I love risotto but i hate cooking it. Not anymore. With this electric cooktop cooking foods that require slow low heat cooking can be cooked perfectly and with ease with this unit. When i made the risotto, while i still needed to stir it, I didnt have to do it constantly as with a standard electric or gas burner. I only needed to stir once in awhile and I had no burning or scourching. I had the same experience with a cream based soup. This appliance is very versatile. It has a couple of standard presets but it also permits you to increase or decrease the wattage or the temperature. Its also an attractive appliance and one that is easy to keep clean. It does require magnetized pots and pans for use but its easy to check whether your pot or pan is magnetic with a regular magnet or even one of those magnetic refrigerator stickers.

Well-Made Unit

Quality rates a 5. Functionality rates a 1, therefore an overall rating of 3. This is a very nice unit, and I was looking forward to a similar unit for my remodeled kitchenette, which only had a microwave on the quartz counter top. Guess I had forgotten the limitations of an induction unit. I found out that all my metal pans, except for 1 pot, which I was thinking I could use, have stainless steel bottoms, so can’t be used. Another thing, it says not to have near other electrical units. Unfortunately for us, our only counter space available is near our microwave. The digital display is easy to read and use and has several modes of operation. The unit appears to be well made.

Works well, with caveats

As the title of my review says "works well, with caveats". I was able to fry up 2 eggs over medium in about 1 minute 20 seconds. It gets food hot so fast you need to be at the ready and that was at about 3/4 of the wattage. I think this would be amazing for some stir fry. Here are the caveats: you must have "compatible cookware" larger than 5 inches in diameter at the base. So that means stainless steel, cast iron or cookware specifically designed for induction cooking. It took me a little bit to figure that out and I thought at first this unit was defective. Also, the burner did not heat to the same temperature across the entire surface. In my pics, you can see the front edge of the pan where the egg is still clear and runny, but only in that spot. Overall its decent and I will most likely use it at our cabin in the woods for a quick meal.
