Questions & Answers

Can be use with aluminum pans?

ByNov 4, 2026

1 Answer |

Answer This Question

Hi Flores, Plain aluminum pans will not work on the 11EC06. It is an induction cooktop, so it only heats cookware with a magnetic base, and the manual lists pans with an aluminum bottom as unsuitable, along with glass, ceramic, copper and bronze. That said, many mid range and premium nonstick aluminum pans are built with a bonded magnetic stainless steel disc on the bottom, and those are fine. The quick test from the manual is to hold a magnet to the bottom of the pan: if it sticks, the pan will work. Just keep the base flat and at least 4.7 in. across. If the magnet does not stick, the unit will buzz for about 10 seconds and shut off instead of heating. Cast iron and magnetic stainless steel are the safest picks. Hope that helps! If you run into any technical issues, just send your order details to support@empava.com and our customer service team will take it from there. Thanks for checking with us!

Can I use cast iron skillet

ByNov 28, 2025

1 Answer |

Hey there,Yes, cast iron works perfectly. Induction requires ferromagnetic cookware with a flat base, both of which cast iron provides. For optimal performance, ensure your skillet's base is at least 4.7 inches in diameter.

Is the cooking surface made of non-scratch material?

ByJun 9, 2025

1 Answer |

Answer This Question

Hi Paul, The cooking surface is made of a durable glass-ceramic material, which resists minor scratches under normal use. However, it is not completely scratch-proof. To maintain its appearance, we recommend: ✔ Using smooth-bottomed cookware (avoid dragging cast iron or rough-edged pans) ✔ Cleaning with gentle sponges (no steel wool or abrasive pads) ✔ Placing/lifting pans carefully instead of sliding them For optimal longevity, avoid impacts or sharp objects on the surface. To better assist you with this concern, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our The Home Depot Customer Service Department at SUPPORT@EMPAVA.COM. A member of this team will reach out to you shortly with more information. Thank you!

When removing the pan from the cooking surface, how long will it take to shut off? Will it resume once the pan has been replaced with in say... 10 seconds?

ByMay 24, 2025

1 Answer |

Answer This Question

Hi Lori, Most induction cooktops will automatically shut off within 10–30 seconds after removing the cookware. If you place the pan back within that time, it typically resumes heating immediately. To better assist you with this concern, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our The Home Depot Customer Service Department at SUPPORT@EMPAVA.COM. A member of this team will reach out to you shortly with more information. Thank you!

Cook temperature hard to set!

This burner is hard to learn. The temperature setting is completely different then the electric burner on any other appliance I have owned. There are some nice settings such as melt and pause. The keep warm is a really nice feature. It is a two prong plug. It is induction so make sure your cookware is for induction cooktops. All in all it is a nice burner, but cooks hot!

Comparable to my gas stovetop

I have not experimented with induction cooking until now, so I was not sure what to expect. It is pretty neat! Spoiler alert, there is no high-medium-low like on a regular stovetop. Aside from the fixed settings of Melt, Keep Warm, and Simmer, the settings are either by Temperature Mode, which goes from 120F to 460F, or by Power Mode, which goes from 100W up to 1800W. The user manual suggests using the Power Mode if a specific temp is not required. But who knows anything about watts?! So I thought I would ease into it by boiling a pot of water for pasta. I set it at 1200W, and it took about 8 minutes for 1.5 quarts to reach a full, rolling boil. A higher setting boils water faster, but I was not in any rush. The built-in timer threw me for a couple of minutes -- at first I thought I set it for 9 minutes, but then the number wasn't getting any lower and I realized I had actually set it for 9 hours. The display shows hours and minutes, rather than minutes and seconds. Duh. When using the timer, the display toggles back and forth every few seconds between timer and the set temp or wattage. When the time was up, the unit stopped, and the water became still literally within seconds, similar to how it is when cooking with gas. The "H" displays while the unit cools. It is really super efficient and I am looking forward to experimenting. The surface is large enough that even my 5.5 quart pot fits on it. The one photo shows how the size of the unit compares with a 5.5 quart stand mixer.

Quiet, sleek, powerful, with low power setting good for delicate foods

Empava did a nice job with this cooktop. It is a noticeable step up from my previous 1500 watt cooktop, both in maximum power output 1800 watts, and in overall user experience. At 13-¾” deep front to back, it’s a little longer than my old cooktop. The cooking surface is the same size, but the touch panel with its extra features of questionable value (see below) extends out over the edge of my cluttered countertop. I use my cooktop primarily for making coffee in my stainless steel stovetop espresso maker. It takes two button presses to turn the induction coil on to its default setting of half power, or 900 watts, which finishes the brew in two minutes. With the small footprint of my espresso pot, the unit is very sensitive to centering it in the cooking area. It turns off the heating coil, beeps, and displays a symbol if you don’t have your cookware centered. I also use it to boil water for tea. You can adjust the power output in 100 watt increments down to 300 watts continuous. It also has 200w and 100w settings, but to achieve these, it is on at 300 watts for several seconds and then off for several seconds. The 300 watt minimum is less likely to burn delicate foods while cycling than my old cooktop, which I think was 600 watts minimum during cycling. My watt meter shows that the power output is close but consistently about 5% less than the nominal wattage. The flat surface touch panel is a bit cluttered with features I will never use. For example, it lets you cook by a temperature you set rather than power. Sounds useful but who cooks on the stovetop by temperature? It also has three preset temps: “melt” (112°F), “keep warm” (165°F), and “simmer” (195°F). I actually might use the keep warm setting for fondue or a pot of chili. It still has a fan to cool the electronics, but its fan is considerably quieter than our old model, and the fan stays on for only one minute after you’re done cooking, while our old one’s noisy fan ran an interminable 4 minutes past power off.

Works well and is energy efficient.

I gave this induction cooktop a workout and am quite pleased with its performance. I timed bringing 2 cups of water to a boil on our electric kitchen range and the Empava induction cooktop. The induction system easily won, cutting the time by about a half. I found the preset simmer function to be just right for steaming some frozen green peas. The touch controls are easy to get used to. I used the watts setting of 1800 to get the water to boil and then tapped the button for simmer. 6 minutes later the peas were done to how I like them. That was done in a magnetic stainless steel pot. I also used my ceramic coated aluminum frypan. The pan has a magnetic steel insert and worked perfectly when I sauteed some spinach. The timer function was perfect for simmering ingredients for a pot of home made vegetable chicken soup. This induction cooktop worked as well as I hoped it would. The reduction in energy used makes it well suited for use at our off grid recreational cabin. Be aware that all the cookware must be magnetic. Test with anymagnet; if it sticks, you're good to go.

Great burner for cooking

I ordered this induction burner to use when traveling in my RV. It will be a great cooking option. The burner has eighteen different heat settings so you can really dial in the cooking temperature. Once you are done cooking the burner's display lets you know that the burner is still hot until it cools sufficiently. The burner worked well with my existing pans but they are induction compatible.

Well Designed Induction Burner

The Heating Element came well packaged and seems solidly designed. Be aware that as an induction cooktop the pans you use need to be ferrous/iron based for it to work (I have alot of teflon style frying pans that are aluminum that won't work). You can verify which ones will work with a magnet. True to the instructions the cooktop heated quickly and adjustment of the temperature was easy. The instructions do a good job of detailing how to use temperature or watts for your cooking. The cord on the unit seems long enough to use most anywhere and the built in fan for the internal electronics was pretty quiet and not annoying. Overall I think this will be a great addition to my RV cooking arsenal allowing me to do some cooking outside.

Heats Quickly, Compact, Many Functions

This is a nice, slim, and compact heating plate. I got this as an accessory for my bar-b-que area. The controls functions are easily identified. There are a lot of great options beyond your regular hot plate. The ability to keep things warm or simmer is a nice option. This plate brought a small pot to boil within 20 seconds...awesome. very handy, lightweight, and easy to store.

Heats Up Fast

The cooktop was shipped quickly and was packed very well. Initially when I tried to use it, it wasn't heating. I further read the instruction manual and found out that it will not work with my non-magnetic stainless cookware. The product description on the Home Depot website says it works with "MOST" stainless. The description should be changed on the product page of the website to specify that it will not work with non-magnetic stainless. It did however work perfectly with my cast iron Dutch oven of which it quickly and efficiently cooked some tasty homemade vegetable soup. Other than the issue with not being able to use my non-magnetic stainless, the cooktop performed great on my cast iron. I also tried it with a cast iron frying pan, and it worked great on it as well.

Cooks Wonderfully

This induction cooktop is amazing! It has several power and temperature settings. I heated three cups of cream of broccoli soup right out of the fridge in under six minutes at a medium power and temp setting. This unit will replace my crock pots as they only do "high" and "low" settings, plus crock pots take a lot of storage room. One of things that I love about it is the size. Large enough for a 9-inch pot or pan. I used the “melt” function to melt a cup of chocolate chips and it came out perfectly! (They went into a batch of brownies.) I have not yet used the “simmer” setting, but plan to the next time that I make soup. Our house has a separate suite including a small kitchenette, and we have frequent visitors. My sister likes to have an early breakfast, and now she can cook whatever she wishes without disturbing the rest of us by making noise in the main kitchen at 6 a.m.

Good unit to get started in induction cooking

95% of my cookware is induction ready (magnet tested). This unit is lightweight, portable and powerful enough for all but my largest kettles (my AllClad wok fits great). Just to give it a test run, I performed a boiled water test using cold tap water (see photos). 32oz of cold tap water took 6'33" to come to a full boil using our natural gas range; the induction burner knocked that time down to 3'55" @ 1500W, not 1800W max. Very impressive difference. After using the burner for a few days, we're already thinking that a full conversion to induction is on our radar.
