[@vernpasfield3892]

Have had the Gen one TOKIT for 2 years in my camper van running it through a 2000 watt inverter and a 200 amp lithium battery, has performed all tasks very well and is not power hungry, paid 140 Ausd direct from TOKIT Australia, thanks for your presentation.

[@platima]

That's awesome to know, thanks for confirming it works so well in that setup!

[@plainlake]

I think I will be getting this to keep in my EV.

[@platima]

Good call! What EV you got?

[@adampoll4977]

Good to see a heating area test. So many neglect this as induction is unforgiving with hot-spots. I have Xiaomi induction hob which has a pretty decent area and the the temp sensor (which you can set and program via the app). Great review.

[@platima]

Thanks for the good words and input!

[@paranoidgenius9164]

I have one of these still in the box, & never used, brand new. I'm still not confident in using an induction hob for the first time, what would have satisfied me, if you would have had a close up camera shot when you were operating the function dial.

[@platima]

Hey just go for it. They're as safe as shit. Actually hard to burn yourself on them! The dial on this one is a tad confusing! Basically press it to engage, long press to on/off, turn side/side to adjust up/down. Without the app, it is basically just a temperature set or on/off. Only takes a few seconds to figure it out, but if you don't mind using apps, that'd likely be even easier!

[@sandysea-]

Regarding the test for heating area using boiling water, I discovered recently that some cookware for induction does not perform as you would expect. Tefal produces frypans that actually limit the area that heats up so they won't actually reflect the true size of the induction heating area. I have actually tested this with an older wok style which gave me the full surface area and then with a frypan I bought recently which was clearly limited to just 4 inches. Not all induction cookware is created equal!!

[@platima]

Not wrong at all! 1) Tefal pans come out lowest in my tests, I don't buy them any more 2) Woks are usually thin carbon steel 3) I use the same steel pot and amount of water for each of my test I do mention this in the video too when I get to the cast iron :)

[@sandysea-]

@@platima The wok I used was also Tefal and it was far better than the newer frypan. Same manufacturer, similar product, vastly different performance.

[@platima]

I've not tried a Tefal wok, just the frypans. They were pretty damn poor! Good to know at least! Thank you

[@aerzamezame9751]

Wonderful review! I'd like to see you do a review of the soon-to-be on sale Induction Cooking Plate from ALDI special buys on Saturday, June 15th :)

[@platima]

Oooh cheers, I hate that place, but I set a calendar reminder!

[@Jason_Carnes]

Thank you for the review/demo. Not sure how well it would work here in the US, different Watt max (1800). I am concerned that it is too thin and might not hold up as a daily cooker. I've tried 3 induction cookers and sent them all back because of the cycle/runaway temp issue. Trying to find one that will keep a stable power and/or temp, otherwise it is useless to me.

[@platima]

Not a problem at all! Looks like they have a US version: www.tokit.com/collections/induction-cooktop/products/tokit-smart-induction-cooker So far had zero issues with it. Bloody strong unit! For me it's now between the Dune, Nationwide Electrical (EOS), and this. This has been my go-to since I got it, but if I'm running 2 at once I'd use the Dune I think. The only reason I'm not using the NE is because it cannot be replaced haha.

[@m015t5]

are you planning to do the Nuwave Precision Induction Cooktop Gold? i've been thinking of buying it but after seeing your vids maybe the dune 4wd might be better idk. i need something thats a good allrounder because i dont have a stove, so it should be able to simmer and sear

[@platima]

Hey mate that's pretty far outside my scope sorry. I do this all at my own cost and make zero dollars from it, so I try to keep it to things I can afford or would actually use. Cheers for the input though.

[@M1n1Mouse]

I interesting test did you do the nuwave pic gold or the westinghouse one I have both of thesep

[@platima]

Thanks! And nah the Nuwave is a bit out of my price range, and the Westinghouse is on my list but yet to get to it

[@chef-magoo]

if you wouldn’t mind, I heard you mention that you’ve tested several induction Hobbs. I am almost completely blind, and have considered taking the dive into a full on induction range, but thought I’d go with an induction hob first to get used to the learning curve. Is there anyway you can kind of pull from your past experience and recommend what of the induction Hobbs you tried? Do you think would be functional for someone with no eyesight?

[@platima]

Hey there! Thank you for your comment, and that is a very interesting use case. Believe it or not, my previous partner of many years was also legally blind, so I actually have some familiarity with these matters. Do you make use of a mobile device such as a phone or tablet, likely using zoom or screen reader? If so, the Tokit could be good as it has the companion app that shows you status etc. Else I'll aim to look through them this evening to see which one have designs such as raised buttons or audio indications that would best work for a vision impairment. Cheers

[@chef-magoo]

@@platima yes, in fact, I do, almost completely rely on the latest iPhone never far from my side. Truly appreciate you looking into this for me, huge help. Thanks much.

[@platima]

@@chef-magoo In that case, whilst I've not actually tried the app, the screenshots of the Tokit app for this 'smart induction cooker' appear to show the device status and control over the cooking modes. The fact that it has just one button which is a combination dial and button also means you can always locate the control you're after, and in moments of doubt you can always long-press it (from memory) to immediately turn it off. The others have multiple buttons, and not all good indicators, so for the few bucks more I'd say this is the way to go. I actually said that in the video without even considering the accessibility features!

[@chef-magoo]

@@platima thanks so much, your input is greatly appreciated!

[@platima]

@@chef-magoo No worries at all Mr Magoo. I looked over about a dozen, and only the Healthy Choice had raised buttons. I was hoping the Dune at least had some bumps, as it's one of my favs, but no go. The Tokit is at least one of my favourites too, so you're not left with only crap options. Best wishes with all your induction cooking adventures! (cast iron + steak = win)

[@tonytony8464]

That's a rebranded Xiaomi Ultra thin induction cooker sold here in asia for less than 100 USD

[@platima]

Oh excellent to know, thank you!

[@Jason_Carnes]

I agree with you, stupid to create an account to use a burner. Did you end up having to create an account just to use it? Or is it just required for the app?

[@platima]

Just required for the app. And I think the app would definitely be handy if you're responsible, but if the app encourages idiots to leave the house while they have things cooking, then I'm heavily against it!

[@philipwest4553]

if it was $200 then it's a little too expensive.

[@platima]

Yeah I know, but..... it's actually pretty fucking good. The NE and the Dune are 1:1 at the top only because the NE is discontinued, but this has the best PWM/heat control, feet, fan and profile! Aaaand now apparently it's $300 (AUD). Went up 50% in two months since I bought it. Fark

[@cameronmclaren9873]

@@platima I just purchased one $177 (AUD)

[@platima]

@@cameronmclaren9873 Nice one! Enjoy :)

[@patrickstarnes2355]

The video is too long-winded I suggest learn first how it works. Faster with better facts you might get some subscribers.

[@platima]

Love these comments where it's clear that people didn't even watch the video 🤣 It was a perfect work of art 👌 And the intention isn't to get subs, else I'd put out way more content. Peace
