What this means is that you can use this cooktop both indoors or out.

Weighing just eight pounds, you will hardly notice it in your backpack or suitcase.

Whether you are planning a family trip in the RV or are off to a festival, this cooktop will give you the freedom of proper cooking without the need to take your whole stove.

The portability of the product also makes it great for students who want to cook in their dorms, as it can easily be picked up and transported.

The small size also means it is ideal for a tight corner and could even be put in a cupboard when not in use.

Although it is small enough for a dorm room, that’s not to say this induction cooktop isn’t suitable for the whole family.

Measuring 10 by 16 by 13.5 inches and sold with an 11-inch compatible casserole dish, you can easily use this cooktop to provide delicious meals for the whole family.

Overview of the Features

As seen on several Copper Chef Induction Cooktop reviews, customers love this product because it lets them cook faster and safer, especially when making meals on the go.

This high praise is probably due to the induction technology, which minimizes the risk of burns (in an induction cooktop, only the pan will get hot, not the cooktop itself).

The portability of the product also makes it ideal for travelers, students, or campers.

With its easily labeled buttons, this induction cooktop is simple to use and comes with a functional LED screen display, dial selector, and straightforward controls.

We particularly liked the Keep Warm button, which is perfect for simmering or just to keep your food warm enough to get everyone back around the table for some grub.

There’s also the ability to adjust the temperature for really precise cooking.

Of course, as with any new technology, it is worth checking your manual beforehand to ensure that you are using the right temperatures.

In case you don't know yet, the temperature settings you would use on this induction cooktop won’t necessarily be the same as what you would use in an oven.

Once you’ve figured out the right temperatures, you will realize that it’s easy to use the adjustable time and temperature controls, making cooking with it a breeze.

The Copper Chef Induction Cooktop actually comes with five cooking presets.

We’ve already mentioned Keep Warm, but you’ll also find pre-set options for Low, Medium, High, and Sear.

In addition, you can set the timer to automatically switch off once your dinner has finished cooking.

Hence, in theory, you can leave your induction cooktop to bubble away while you concentrate on something else, which we thought was a nice touch.

It will also automatically switch off when you take the pan off, which makes it even safer to use.

You can also use other cookware on the induction cooktop as long as they’re induction-friendly.

You can check this by placing a magnet on the bottom of your pan, and if it sticks, you’re good!

How to Get the Most out of Your Copper Chef Induction Cooktop

Our best advice for getting the most out of your Copper Chef Induction Cooktop is simply to consult the manual before cooking.

In doing this, you can be sure that you’re fully aware of the temperature controls and timer settings.

Although this might not seem necessary, as the cooktop itself looks very self-explanatory, many of the negative Copper Chef Induction Cooktop reviews we found could have been avoided with a proper read of the manual.

If you’re not using the casserole dish this cooktop comes with, you will need to check if your existing cookware is compatible with the Copper Chef Induction Cooktop.

Due to the way induction cooking works, only magnetic cookware will heat up when placed on top of the cooktop.

An easy way to check this is by using a magnet on the bottom of your pot or pan.

If it sticks, it should be compatible with an induction cooktop; if it doesn’t, then, unfortunately, it won’t be responsive to the magnetic field.

One more thing to be aware of is that the cooktop will carry some residual heat, so you shouldn’t touch it immediately after use.

Alternatives

If you’re interested in induction cooking but aren’t yet sure if the Copper Chef Induction Cooktop is for you, here are some alternatives to consider:

Duxtop Portable Induction Cooktop

The Duxtop Portable Induction Cooktop is a bit smaller and lighter than the Copper Chef.

It also comes with controllable wattage in addition to the ability to easily control the exact temperature and timing settings, which is a handy feature.

Duxtop also has a huge range of other induction cooktops that are worth taking a look at.

Tightreach Portable Induction Cooktop

If you need more than one burner, the Copper Chef Induction Cooktop might be too small for you.

This Tightreach Induction Cooktop has two burners, making cooking more complicated meals on the go a little easier.

Measuring 15 by three by 26.7 inches and weighing in at 21.1 pounds, this is bigger and heavier than the one from Copper Chef.

Nevertheless, you can still take it with you wherever, thanks to its plug-and-go design.

Conclusion

Overall, we were really impressed by the Copper Chef Induction Cooktop.

We felt it worked well, was fast to heat up, and the controls offered accurate heating once we got the hang of what temperatures to use for specific tasks.

The length of the power cord was something that particularly impressed us, too.

Although this might sound like a small thing, having the extra length is great for saving you the hassle of having to put the cooktop in an inconvenient place just so that you can plug it in.

We also found that most of the listed cons could be avoided by reading the manual properly and taking care of what cookware we used.

Therefore, with a bit of attention, this can be a great portable cooktop.

If you're searching for a new copper induction cooktop to level up your kitchen, then this is an option that is seriously worth considering.

There are certainly many features that you will appreciate, and we're confident that you will thoroughly enjoy the experience of using your Copper Chef.
