Empava's smooth surface vitro-ceramic induction cooktop prevents food from falling into them, resulting in minimal cleanup. The glass surface is stain and heat discoloration resistant, ensuring a long-lasting cooktop. Stainless steel and cast-iron cookware are both compatible.

Questions & Answers

I'd like to put it to use in an off-grid application. Is it possible to operate the unit at 110V? What is the total wattage if all of the elements are turned on at full power at the same time?

No, the total wattage is estimated to be around 10200W.

Is each burner capable of delivering the full 1800 watts, or are they limited to 900 watts?

There are 1800 in total for each.

Is it possible to use any type of ollt if you buy magnetic tapes?

I don't know, I only buy inducción ollas on Amazon, and everything has come out in excellent condition.

Are you satisfied with the performance of the 120v two-burner model? Because of the low voltage, do you find that you can't do certain things or cook on both?

That one doesn't hold water for me. I have a four-burner empava, which is ideal.

I've been waiting for an induction cooktop like this for a long time! Many years ago, I started looking into induction cooktops
5/5

became convinced of the technology's merits. (theinductionsite. com has a lot of useful information) I found some used Cooktek commercial units on craigslist for a good price. They were purchased to see if I enjoyed cooking on them. All I have to say is WOW; I'll never cook on anything else again, including the Viking 48" range I recently sold! (Have you ever had to clean a Viking range? ) Induction cooktops are incredibly easy to clean, and unlike traditional glass cooktops, they do not burn food. As a result, I started looking for a 36-inch cooktop that was affordable. with the proper burner set-up for my cooking style When Amazon suggested the Empava IDCF9, I was already considering the Empava 36" unit. Oh, my goodness, this is the ideal setup! If you look at my photos, you'll notice that I can cook with anything, even my smallest skillet. My two 22 quart Tramontina stock pots (or 16 quart or 12 quart), my two Fagor 10 quart pressure canners, my 16 inch flat bottom cast iron wok from The Wok Shop, and, last but not least, my two Lodge 16 3/4 x 9 1/2 cast iron reversible griddle/grills on the two bridge burners! The only drawback I can see is that the controls can be a little finicky at times. I have to press it several times to get to the desired setting, but I've always been able to do so. With everything else this cooktop has to offer, that isn't a deal breaker for me. I'm totally satisfied. I'm happy with it, and I hope Empava keeps making this burner configuration (IDCF9) for as long as I need it! By the way, the person who gave it a two-star rating because you didn't do your homework isn't being fair to the cooktop or the company! EMPAVA, I'd like to express my gratitude to you.

What you pay for is exactly what you get
5/5

I gave it 5 stars because it does exactly what it says it will do; if I had paid the standard price for induction, I would have given it 3 stars. To begin, br>br> What you pay for is exactly what you get. It's a low-cost induction with excellent performance. It's a little smaller than a typical electric cooktop, so if you're switching from granite to this, expect to upgrade. I used 4400 psi epoxy to hold 1/4" flat stock steel plates in place on two sides of the existing opening. br>br>After that, the unit fit perfectly, and I caulked it in place to make sure it wasn't moving. They tell you not to caulk the unit because it needs to be serviceable, but I guess they have no idea what a razor is or how easy it is to remove. Boiling 1 gallon of water in a large stock pot takes ten minutes. It's a little frustrating that no matter what burner you use, each coil is exactly the same size. The amount of power that can be allocated to each burner is the only difference between them. br>br>In this case, cast iron is your friend, and if you want the entire surface of a 12" cast iron pan to be hot, use boost for a few minutes before lowering the temperature to allow the heat to disperse evenly throughout the pan, use boost for a few minutes and then lower the temperature to allow the heat to disperse evenly throughout the pan. This isn't typical. br>br> I have a high-end Bertazzoni, and each coil is custom-made for the burner in question. You get what you pay for once more. br>br>I'm not sure if this is normal, but when we cook, our unit emits a faint odor of hot electronics. This could be due to the fact that it was installed in less than 24 hours, but it's enough to cause concern. I have a fully open cabinet beneath it with plenty of ventilation, so I'm confident it's not that. br>br>Be prepared for a learning curve and a small investment in higher-end cookware if this is your first induction range. The following are excellent examples of what can be done. br>Cast ironbr>All-purpose cast ironbr> Cheaply made metal alloysbr>cladbr>Carbon steelbr>br>The following suckbr>Cladbr>Carbon steelbr>br>The following suckbr>Cladbr>Carbon steelbr>br>The following suckbr>Carbon steelb br>br>The following will not work:br>Aluminumbr>Glass cookwarebr>br>You will save some power, but not in the way you expect. Induction ranges use the same amount of energy as traditional electric ranges, but they heat up much faster. That's something else altogether. Your cooking habits will change as a result of this. No longer do you have to heat up the pan before you begin chopping up whatever you're cooking. Before turning the pan on, you'll need to prepare. Most induction ranges claim 20 of power savings as as as as as as as as as as as a br>br>Be prepared for noise: most induction cooktops (except my Bertazzoni) produce a hum/hiss noise while cooking. This is due to the metal cookware's own reaction. Some of the higher-end ranges have figured out how to reduce this, but this one does not. You can reduce it by using cast iron on your own. It's better if you're heavy.

This is a brand that you should not buy!! Update: It's been six weeks since I began pleading for assistance
3/5

I have yet to receive a call, but I continue to receive emails instructing me on how to rewrite my email. Empava is only concerned with this. Original post: I bought a two-burner Empava 120v induction cooktop in late April and installed it in my kitchen island; the lights came on when I plugged it in, but the unit won't heat, and I've been getting an "E3" error message indicating that the "voltage supply" is too high. For weeks, I've been communicating with customer service through voicemail, email, and other means. They requested that I send pictures, videos, and other materials, which I did, but they will not call me to troubleshoot the issue. They've simply stopped responding to my emails, so I guess I'm on my own with no way to resolve the situation. I contacted the contractor and an electrician, who both confirmed that the voltage in the outlet was correct; however, the error message persists after we plugged it into several other 120v outlets. Empava, it appears, does not stand behind their products and will abandon you to your fate. Now I'm stuck with a useless appliance and a hole in my granite counter top, as well as no cooktop. Because I can't get customer support from Empava, I'll have to pay $480 to have a different brand of cooktop installed. I attempted to contact Amazon customer service because they were the "seller," but they do not accept phone calls. Why haven't they figured out how to provide customer service during Covid like the rest of the big companies have? You will be sorry if you purchase Emapava.

I had to go back
5/5

It's great, but I had to send it back because the supply voltage was too high, according to the error code E3.
