You might ask why you'd want a Viking or any portable induction range. The advantages of the Viking induction cooktop are numerous. Immediately go from a fast boil to a simmer by turning the control knob. The Viking induction cooker is extremely energy-efficient because it uses magnetic fields to create heat. For example, a quart of water boils in less than half the time on induction vs. gas. Water boils in 2 min. 22 seconds on Viking's portable cooktop, but on a gas range, it takes at least 5 minutes.

Comments about VIKING VICC120SS - Portable Induction Cooker:

I tried an number of portable induction units before setting on the Viking one. Basically it's all about the BTUs (15,000 on this model) and I needed something that would boil water fast. Less expensive units operated with less wattage which I suspect is why they were slower to heat up. Also the construction of this unit feels built to last. Worth spending 2 to 3 times as much for the Viking than a cheaper one if you require such power and durability.

Comments about VIKING VICC120SS - Portable Induction Cooker:

Now I don't burn everything on the dreaded electric range. I have always used gas - this induction burner is even more responsive. I wish my entire cook top were induction.
