Vango Sizzle

‘sup?- Yeah,splendid masterpeice,😮

Looks great but on the lower heat settings does the hob cycle on and off to maintain a lower output? Thanks

[@lewtube1136]

Sorry, i cant remember. This hob unfortunately had an accident a while back with a bottle 🤣🤣. I am currently using the induction hob from outdoor revolution, which you can adjust from 100w to 800w per side or you can select the temp. I did shoot footage of this i just havnt had time to make vids at the mo

@@lewtube1136 thanks for the reply. I'm also looking at the outdoor revolution one too. Intact it looks slightly better having a timer and space for bigger pans. Do you know if that one cycles on and off on lower power settings? Thanks

[@lewtube1136]

@@welshnutterz trying it now for you. I would say the outdoor is much bigger, you can get two large pans on it is really half a regular kitchen hob, it does however ha e a smoother surface so pans can slide a bit on an incline, have water on boil, yes it comes on and off at lower settings, so more to keep things warm really

[@welshnutterz]

@@lewtube1136 that's great, thanks for doing that. I think it's probably the one to try. I have read of peeps using think heat proof silicone pads or grease proof paper between the pans and hob to stop slippage.

[@lewtube1136]

@@welshnutterz ill try that, cheers. I do like it over the vango the size makes it more functional for me and there is more flexibility with the settings. I have been using it through the summer and its been great. Just remember to keep it protected, it was so easy to crack the vango, only down side on these induction hobs i think

[@mightyeagle]

I had a gas stove, but to be honest, I think I’d rather bring the generator or have a hook up and use something like this induction hob instead

[@lewtube1136]

It works really well, since this vid i have now added a 200w solar to the roof. This is all i use and need. All o will say is they are induction and have a glass surface, i did break one with a bottle falling on it so keep it safe 👍

[@ingalway]

Hi. What size/type batteries do you have and do you know why Vango specify that it is for outdoor cooking?

[@lewtube1136]

Hi, I have two 120ah leisure batteries that are charged from solar and a split relay. Guess they say it as it is intended to be used while camping, though you can use it wherever you want really

[@ingalway]

@@lewtube1136 Thank you. Do you know if this would work on a 1000w pure sine wave inverter?

[@lewtube1136]

@@ingalway if you kept the wattage low on the hobs, probably. They are a maximum of 800w each so that is 1600w total so a 1000w inverter will struggle

[@paulalcock4948]

Not all Stainless Steel alloys are the same, and some do not work as well with induction. It’s fair to say that a stainless steel pan is likely to work , but to be sure check the pan with a magnet. If if sticks well, then it will work well with induction.

[@lewtube1136]

Do not work as well or do not work, even if they dont work as well they still work. But thanks 👍

[@paulalcock4948]

@@lewtube1136 I guess my point is that if someone is using an induction hob for the first time and are disappointed that it seems to take a very long time to heat up and as a result uses a lot more power than they’d hoped (but it still works), then check the pot, because that may be the reason.

[@lewtube1136]

Its a fair point, thanks for the info 👍

[@philiplewis9825]

How did you run it of a 12v battery?

[@lewtube1136]

The batteries are connected to a 2000w pire sign inverter. The hob is connected to the inverter 👍

[@sandsmarine2791]

Yes the induction hobs can only be powered via a pure sine wave inverter.they won't work on modified sine wave inverters
