This portable, powerful induction cooker basically adds an extra burner to your kitchen counter or buffet table. Preset cooking programs allow for hands-off braising, browning, steaming, slow cooking and warming, or you can opt for precise manual temperature control to suit your dish. The induction cooker works with any induction-compatible pan up to 9.5-inches in diameter. Or use the included insulating ring designed to accommodate a Staub 5.5-quart Dutch oven. This handy appliance is ideal for making fondue, slow-cooked ragu, hot pots, or for cooking and serving a game day pot of chili at the perfect temperature.
